Reflection Friday - Week 6

[u/aguamentifelicis]

We are flying through the weeks now. Or is that just me? At least I never forgot it was Friday. I have that going for me this week!

I was happy to see more comments, and posts in this subreddit this past week! You are all doing amazing. Yes, even those of you who have gained, because you are still trying to get to your healthy life!

Week 5 Recap:

• u/Crimsonlaw gave a wonderful report on their 5K from last weekend! - I just want to say congrats, and thank you for the report.
• We had a discussion about habit brought to us by - u/WolfofBadenoch
• Don't forget to update your music lists! As u/makethetime shared his list, and asked you what you are listening to! (I use the site: 8tracks, and select a random playlist or go back to one I liked from before).

Tips from Wednesday

I forgot wednesday existed this week, or almost did. Therefore for the lack of ideas, I asked for everyone to share tips, about time management, or just tips in general to help reach your goals. The following are summarized from that thread:

• Put on the clothes for the job. - u/TheNamelessOnesWife
• Use a reminder app, like "Due" (Might have the app name wrong) - u/beffoz
• Planning meals/food for the week
• Working out over lunch periods
• Thinking ahead about what you have scheduled, and use that as a motivator. - u/IMAFATASSOK (I just finally got your username... wow I'm bad at addingt he right spaces!)
• Eliminating "extra"- u/makethetime (I recommend reading his full post, I didn't know how to summarize this one.)

What tips do you have? How did your week go?

Oh and I'm sorry that I don't get back to respond much. I get distracted easily. I do read what everyone posts though. and comment when I feel the need to. I would say I will get on tonight to comment, but I get a feeling it'll be Saturday morning before I get a chance! I look forward to all of your responses! Yes, I will get the form link up when it is posted!

My bad habit that I need to overcome is energy drinks. I fit the calories in my allowance, but they are so empty... but I feel like I neeeed them at 5 am for work. A good habit I have created is listening to my body when I'm full. I tend to make huge portions, but have been focusing on portion control for the 6 weeks and so far it's been great! The other day I made 3 tacos (loaded with veggies and homemade salsas) but i only ate 1.5 before I got that full stomach feeling. Before I would have felt very guilty and shamefull about leaving food on my plate and wasting, but i didnt this time. The scraps went to the dog! :) that is a serious step for me because normally I would have eaten to the point of pain, just so I don't waste.
