Biking - my love

Biking with friends & DH over the weekend. Gosh I love biking

All is going as per plan. I am really focused, and I believe it has to do with how I am immersing myself in info relative to how to be in the best shape of my life. Also reviewing my goals before sleep & immediately on waking.

It really is a game of keeping my focus, and I am doing a great job of that right now.

I have been tracking my compliance to my nutrition program & posting the results daily on the Berardi Lean Eating site which is also helping. Accountability.

It is working. I feel thinner, and I can totally see myself as I was in my 20's - lean, fit & sexy.

It is a total sensory attack on my brain!

Well, I am mad. I was irresponsible this weekend, and let myself eat candy & cake when I knew it would hold me back from achieving my goals. Really silly of me.

However, I have fessed up, taken my lumps, and put some new strategies in place:
- I am posting compliance daily on the Lean Eating site
- reviewing goals on waking & before bed
- reminding family of what I am working towards & asking their support
- listening to podcasts constantly in my car to keep motivation high
- posting goals all around my office

Success is inevitable!!!

Sadly, vacation is almost over. I have to be honest, I don't want to go back to work. I am not ready to be retired, so I don't want to just stay at the lake (yet), but I could sure use a couple more weeks off. I would love to be able to get to a situation where I have summers off, and work 3 or so days/week for the balance of the year. Wouldn't that be nice? I guess I better get saving!

This week has been great. I can feel my muscles from all the exercise. I have had a couple of my 10% meals, but will still hit my weekly goal of 90% compliance so all is good. It was nice to have a treat today, and not feel the compulsion to keep eating.

Every day, my internal voice is getting stronger, and helping me keep focused on my goals. I actually think that good internal voice has been there for a while, I have chosen to ignore it in the past. Go figure!

Anyway, it is nice to feel focused, and I credit the Berardi Lean Eating Program for Women for helping me achieve that. Go JB!

I am looking forward to the long weekend. Lots of good stuff planned with family & dear friends.

Life is great!

Since the debacle of last week, everything has been right on track. Thankfully!

My food has been clean & my workouts have been consistent.

I feel more like myself when I am eating & exercising right. I pre-prepped TONS of food when I got home from groceries the other day & that has really helped. I just pull the containers out of the fridge & have a really varied salad in minutes.

I still want to eat a more raw/vegetable based diet and am on the hunt for new recipe ideas to keep it interesting.

Sunday,

This is a day to re-focus for me.

I feel like I have all the elements I need in place (I have what I believe to be a PRW, I have an awesome program for food & exercise), yet I am not consistently sticking with it. This is soooooooooooo embarrassing!

I have one week of holidays left, and I am making this promise to myself.

For the balance of my holiday I am going to be true to my program so that I
return to work energized & on fire. I certainly can't argue I don't
have time to do it can I?? I am in one of the most beautiful parts of
Canada (at the lake), so being outdoors is a joy.

I will maximize that joy!!

I am still here and all is good! I am doing Berardi's Lean Eating coaching program, and it has been taking a fair bit of my time (and I only want to spend so much time on the computer - better to be moving!).

I will catch up over the next 2 weeks as I am on vacation
