Teancum Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 PACT Plan Challenge 2 "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy and wealthy and wise" I'm continuing my plan to Put Away Childish Things (PACT) which you can read more about here. I will be continuing my daily calorie goal, taking the next step in my sugar goal, and adding in a sleeping goal which will be the big focus of this challenge. I also plan to maintain my habit of walking every day, but will not report on it in this challenge. June Goals Eat one or less servings of sweets per day - YES/NO One day per week with NO sweets - YES/NO/PENDING Eat less than 2500 calories/day - YES/NO Go to bed by 10:00pm daily - YES/NO Wake up and get ready at 7:00am daily - YES/NO Determine diet habits and triggers and adjustments to be made - YES/NO/PENDING Get new bank account - YES/NO/PENDING It looks like a lot, but I think it'll be manageable. The sweets and calorie goals I've been working on for over a month, so it's basically a continuation. The sleep and wake-up goals are paired (I need to go to bed earlier if I'm going to get up earlier) and are the big focus this challenge. The last two are just to be done sometime in the month. The first is to help fill out my future goals to get a better handle on my diet and change some of my bad habits. The second is just a to-do that fits with the challenge theme =) As with last month, I've identified a few obstacles I'll face and a plan to overcome them. First off, later this week I am graduating!! That'll likely mean extra food and a late night. I'll allow 2 sweets for the day on both Friday and Saturday (graduation parties) and will eat healthy while not at the events to leave more calorie room. Saturday night is the banquet, so I will waive the bed time that night, and adjust the wake time on Sunday to 8 hours after I go to bed. I'll also be camping later in the month, and plan to bring less sweets than usual and more fruit. I will also note that the calorie goal will shift down as needed if I gain weight two weeks in a row while actually following the goal. I hope that this system will keep me on track for weight loss, but also make sure I don't try to move down too fast. Thanks for taking the time to read! I'll be glad to have the support! 2 Quote "You can have what you want, or you can have something better" Character Page Current Challenge Spoiler Previous challenges: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 PACT challenges: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 To set an example for my patients and my family.

So it'll be bed time for the night before, and wake up time for the day that I am posting. Today was a good day food-wise though. I was fasting most of the day, so easy to stay in calories, and I was just fine eating fruit tonight instead of fake sweets, so I got my weekly no-sweets day in early!

Exercised some self restraint with sweets, thought I was good to have a snack in the afternoon (and that would be it for the day), but then my wife came home with cookies I can't say no to (one of my kryptonites). I still stayed under calories though, so that's good. I bought a ton of veggies at the store yesterday, now I just need to make sure I use them before they go bad!

It's hard when she's doing it to be nice. My willpower was such that if I avoided it (which I was) I'd be fine, but when it's right in front of me I'm not turning it down. Last night we went to the Lord of the rings symphony! So bonus Nerd points, but didn't get to bed on time. Today we took the kids to see Incredibles 2. It was pretty good!
