2/09 Time and Adherence Report
Posted: Sat Feb 10, 2024 12:28 pm
Hi Journal!
Happy early Valentine’s Day! ❤️
Here are a couple of lunches from the week. Made a huge pot of Mexi Soup and ate it over brown rice. I love this!!
Making a pot of veggie soup – just dump whatever veggies you like into the crockpot and turn it on! Turns out great every time. Added a big box of baby bella mushrooms.
Here is a dinner for the week! Loving pears right now of all sorts.
Love what you do
Happy, Healthy, Strong - 2024
1) Follow MWL checklist (closely)
Yes.
2) Exercise (daily walk, 2-3X/week strength train, pickleball)
Met the minimum this week. At busy times, I am thankful for the events / classes that I have signed up for which I don’t miss.
3) Connect with family and friends
Yes.
4) Plan for retirement
Looking to get started here in Q2.
5) Events – social / exercise
Did ok – not great in last week’s PB tournament. Got eliminated from the work table tennis tournament, but it was fun and hoping to find a group of folks to play with throughout the year. Signed up for another PB tournament to challenge the mediocrity.
Below is behavioral assessment that I will post for week of 2/9.
Hi Team Time & Adherence,
Hope everyone is doing terrific!
1 Start each meal with a soup and/or salad and/or fruit.
Many times – 16/21.
2 Follow the 50/50 plate method for your meals, filling half your plate (by visual volume) with non-starchy vegetables and 50% (by visual volume) with minimally processed starches. Choose fruit for dessert.
Yes.
3 Greatly reduce or eliminate added sugars and added salts. This includes gourmet sugars and salts too. If either is troublesome for you, you can eliminate them.
Yes.
4 Eliminate all animal foods (dairy, meat, eggs, fish, seafood).
Yes.
5 Eliminate all higher fat plant foods (i.e., nuts, seeds, avocados, tofu, soy).
Yes.
6 Eliminate any added oil.
Yes.
7 Eliminate all higher calorie-dense foods including flour products (i.e., bread, bagels, muffins, crackers, dry cereals, cookies, cakes, puffed cereals, air-popped popcorn, and dried fruit).
Yes.
8 Don’t drink your calories especially from juices & sugar-sweetened beverages).
Yes.
9 Follow these principles, eating whenever you are hungry until you are comfortably full. Don't starve yourself and don't stuff yourself.
I think so. I am never starving and continue to be mindful to stop eating at satiation.
10 Avoid being sedentary and aim for at least 30 minutes or more of moderate exercise daily (i.e., brisk walking).
5/7. A very busy work week – resulted in less time available in this space. This was a one-off where a deadline was pushed forward 2 weeks – so hoping to be back to at least a 6/7 next week.
Victories, comments, concerns, questions:
I have a busy weekend coming up – my FIL’s 90th birthday, niece’s baby shower, a Super Bowl party… Should be lots of fun but a bit more hectic than ideal… I will be bringing lots of fruit trays --- have already got them set to go and packing potato and sweet potatoes in my purse. The red sweet potatoes are amazing, if you haven’t tried them --- check them out!
Bambi and Starflower – I am with you in eating lots of soup at this time! It is nicely warming and comforting in the cold weather for sure! Thanks for sharing what you are doing!! Gimmelean had posted a Kitchari recipe a year or two ago that was fantastic!
Mark – thanks for all that you do to support us!!
Wishing everyone a happy and productive upcoming week! Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
Cheers,
Stephanie
