March 27 – LTG: I want to and will feel good with my 1st few steps out of bed in the morning.
April 1: I see results when I put in the right amount of work/mindset. I just started week 5 of this plan and see changes in my body composition even though the scale hasn’t moved much.
April 3: No one is going to care as much as you do. It takes time.
April 8: I see myself getting stronger + healthier and MAINTAINING that for the rest of my life.

April 14: It’s okay to be a little hungry 🙂
April 24: Find external focuses other than food/cooking/recipes/old food blog type stuff.

2020
February 12: Started doing exercise “set” all together with 1 minute rests. First time trying this in almost a year of weightlifting. I felt muscles were more focused and tired/worked – in a good way.
February 17: I want to prioritize sleep!
February 18: Pretty good leg and hip power
February 19-mantra: I am healthy as I can be. My nails are strong and feeling really good.
February 20: When I’m eating to fit a moving calorie target that’s based on my daily activity & deficit—that could be different everyday—it feels like A LOT of work that becomes tiring and obsessive vs. when I set a calorie goal based on a weeks average with macronutrient goals—this all feels so relaxing and my body/digestion feel really good.
February 21: I’ve got this! I’m strong and have done some amazing work to get here!
February 24: Focus on macros. There are no bad foods. [there are no bad foods but there are foods that fuck with my digestion, but that is a whole different thing-this is about categorizing foods as good or bad]
