I made final decision yesterday about where my August H&F focus will be. I paid for mentorship so now I can only choose to waste my money or put it to good use and learn all I can.


Calories under 1300 - Minimize gluten Average = 1362
Protein over 32% Average 31%
Fiber over 21 grams Average 27 grams

__ Paper capture & planning
__ __ Digital SHE cards used
__ __ Daily Project

Steps over 7000 Average = 7098 steps
30 minutes of walking outside with arms swinging. Average = 28 minutes
Hourly movement (over 250 steps) 10 hours or more Average = 10 hours


Success

Preparation for August H&F continues. For how my mind works, it makes sense to group meals into categories -
** Major Meals = 300 calories 30 gram protein
** Minor Meals - 200 calories 20 gram protein
** Mini Meals = 100 calories 10 gram protein
Writing this down here makes it seem way more complex and detailed than it does in actuality.
I am using half size index cards that have a hole to hang on a ring. They are easy to group on ring by meal category and flip through.
They are portable so I can take them to the kitchen as I prep food or use next to laptop for Cronometer entry.
It seems very simple and straight forward in my head.

All I know is I'm not giving up.
If what I am doing isn't working, then I'll try something different.
Keep habits that are helpful. Change what isn't working for me.

As I am deep into the details doing things that make sense to me. I received this message from mentorship -
A healthy lifestyle isn't built by being perfect. It's built by being consistent. There is absolutely room to laugh, celebrate birthdays, enjoy date nights, and even make your meals fun! Whether you're cutting your sandwich into stars, trying a new healthy recipe, or adding a silly face to your snack, enjoying your food doesn't make you less committed to your goals.
Remember, if your weight loss journey feels like punishment, it's going to be hard to stick with. Find ways to make healthy living something you actually look forward to. Smile a little more, laugh a little louder, and don't forget to have fun along the way!
I love that!

Friday:

Drink 8 glasses of water: 27 hearts

Sit to stand 5 repetitions: 31 hearts

Clear kitchen table once a day: 30 hearts

Go for a walk: 16 hearts

Summary for this month:
Drinking water has improved (finally!). Clearing the kitchen table is making me smile to see it clear for at least part of every day. I need to be more dedicated to ensuring I walk yesterday. Yes, it's been very hot, but there are always parts of the day when it's not hot!

My 5 daily habits, tracked on an index card near my bed :
MR - basic morning routine - Move C/W - either Cardio or Weights, daily - MicroMove - tiny times of movement at payroll or during the day - Time for me - to read, maybe write, maybe think, maybe journal - K for Kegels - pelvic floor exercises, 1 mn minimum, at bedtime usually.
Bonus habit : sweep unter kitchen table at night, so kids get used to a clean kitchen floor when they get downstairs for breakfast.
