Mission 11: Use A Weekly Action Tracker
We’ve all had the experience of wanting desperately to make changes in our lives, but finding, over time, that our motivation flags and our good intentions fall by the wayside.
If this describes countless weight-loss attempts for you, then don’t despair.
You can forgive yourself, because life intervenes. Even the most motivated person can lose focus in the face of family, work, the economy, and relationships – life!
However – and this is a mammoth however – this time things are different. In this mission, I’m going to give you a tool that will help you to sustain your focus, despite the intrusion of life.
This tool is so powerful that if you use it, you will find it difficult not to succeed.
Note the ‘if you use it’ qualification. The best hammer ever invented is useless until you pick up that thing and start thwacking it around.
Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.
~ Johann von Goethe

Really loved this topic. As a list person I fully get the psychological benefits of keeping a checklist. My battle is to accept and observe the imperfections. I have created my list and look forward to keeping my health goals In mind all the time and not fall apart when something else takes my focus.

This is all feeling very real now. I really don’t want to disappoint myself so I’m trying hard to stay focused and eat sensibly.
I have my tracker all filled out and have been doing a great job checking off those actions!
I took the sample tracker and will print it , I have been logging all my exercise and food in myfitnesspal but but for journaling and writing my feelings and mindset, it will be more challenging. I made a cake yesterday and didn’t get into the cake dough, which was my bigger struggle for a long time. I can finally start again to bake and not be afraid that the dough won’t make it to the oven:)
I have some good news from yesterday. I went for my evaluation at the gym and I have lost 8 pounds in a month and 5 more inches. Total as of yesterday: 28 pounds and 13 inches lost since the beginning of my weight loss journey:) My trainer was really impressed. I have 7 more pounds to go to make it to my goal:)
