JLente's Journal, 05 May 2018

304.6... Ok, I can't seem to believe that number this morning. Troll scale actually gave two readings below that (303) but as I say, I can't bring myself to believe it so recording the highest it said. I'm actually in sight of cracking that damn 300 mark.

I was about to say 'soon' there, but I find for myself, putting goals in the context of time just winds up frustrating me due to the perceived under-performance should I miss the 'deadline'. So I have been making myself remove thoughts of dates, schedule, and other time related targets from my self talk/thought in this process. I see it as removing one more potential land mine between myself and my goal.

Making a 4 hour drive out to my daughter's college to pick up a load of stuff from her dorm room. The term is ending soon and she will be back home for the summer. She has to vacate the dorm next Wed. making this trip so Wed. will be less chaotic. My son and I will be having lunch out there with her before packing things. Campus is in a small town but they have an excellent steak house I've been told so I see a 12oz rib eye with a salad and steamed broccoli in my future today. Going to be a higher cal intake day (around 1500-1600) but.. RIB EYE!!!

Anyway, got up late and got to get on the road NOW! (the rib eye... and oh yeah my daughter... awaits!) Good out and enjoy the fine saturday. Stay mindfull of what you are doing but don't let that get in the way of enjoying life!

I feel the same about putting dates or timelines on my goals - I always end up frustrated or scrambling at the end and - I try to remember the slower it goes the easier it stays off. you're not dieting you're changing the way you eat and that is a process that a calendar cant adhere to. awesomeness on that goal certainly getting very close and continued success to you in reaching it !!

Have a great time with your kids! I moved my oldest home a couple weeks ago, but she was only home for a week before moving to her summer apartment. But we are close and see her a few times a week. Having our kids around is medicine for our parent hearts ❤️. You'll get that 300 and crush it as you pass it, I have no doubt in you!! Keep with your habits, you've got such a good plan in place for what's working for you. You've totally got this!!
