I struggled mightily with food the last challenge. I didn't work out as much as I have in the past. Domestic Rangering wasn't as thorough as it used to be. But I did not quit, and I will not quit. I'm doing a challenge because it helps me remember who I am. I am a person who lifts. I am a person who does his best to eat well. I am a person who does Yoga. I am a person who walks. I am a person who keeps his living space clean And there you have the foundation of the five goals I always use. My goal is to do 10 lift workouts My goal is to go on 6 walks My goal is to do Yoga 6 times My goal is to cook paleo as much as possible, and limit non paleo foods as much as possible. My goal is to do laundry every week and clean either the upstairs bathroom or the downstairs bathroom and kitchen each week. The biggest focus is going to be on eating. My no more than x variances per week system has not worked as well. I'm going to be doing a lot of introspection about my eating. I grew up eating my boredom. Food became entertainment for me, and that led to not controlling my portion sizes, how often I ate, and mistaking hunger for boredom. Healing those parts of me, and growing beyond those emotional connections to food, will be very helpful in my journey to being the most healthy I can be. Therefore, I will break precedent with the past and add a sixth goal To read the Intuitive Eating book.
