I read a Darren Daily this morning that talked about being your best self. This is not in the future, or some ethereal version. It is going through your day and making decisions based on what your best version of you would do. It really struck me as important and I have decided to make choices based on what my best self would do. So this morning I thought my best self would have eggs...so I did. My best self would play with her son while waiting for her exercise partner. So I did. My best self would set a timer while sitting at the computer...so I did. My new goal is to use this guide every day to gauge my choices. So I have added Be your Best Self Today to my template. You will be seeing a lot more of it! :)

I am 34 inches thinner from my bust/waist and hips and a size 8's measurements of 36/28/38 on October 7, 2015. I am following the trainers workout and food plans drink 64 oz of water a day and getting 8 hours of sleep every night.
I track this by completing my measurements every 4 weeks and weighing in weekly. My expectation is to see a decrease of approximately 5 inches per month.
I am completing my daily trainer workouts, planning my meals, eating as I am hungry and listening to my fullness cues. I get in 10000 steps 6 times a week. I measure my progress with Sunday Morning weigh ins and document it on my blog. I stick to a regular bedtime and use a timer when I am on the computer. I feel energetic and strong. I Feel good in my own skin.

"Every time you start to eat, check your hunger level. Ideally, aim for around a level of 3 to begin eating. If you are at a 5 or above, you are not biologically hungry. If you are at 2 or lower, you're likely over hungry and at risk for overeating." Scale and comments taken from the book "Intuitive Eating" by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch.
