Hiiii, happy Monday.
I’m going into this week with two focuses, and I’m keeping them simple on purpose.
Focus one: my calories. My goal is to stay under 1650 a day, or at least average that across the week.
Focus two: steps. I’m on fall break, the walking pad is finally here, and I want to see how many steps I can actually get when my day isn’t built around a classroom.
That’s it. Two things. Not a new meal plan, not a 5 a.m. workout era, not a whole new personality.
Why I’m focusing on the average
Here’s what I’ve noticed about myself. When I treat every single day like a pass or fail test, one off day makes me feel like the whole week is ruined. And then I do the very mature thing of deciding I’ll just start over next Monday.
Looking at the average changes that. One higher day doesn’t erase anything. It’s just one day inside a week.
And to be clear, 1650 is my number.
Yours might be completely different, and that’s okay.
Inside this thread
What the average actually looks like for me. Including the day I came in under and what I’m doing with that.
The fall break steps plan. How the walking pad fits into a week with no schedule.
The messy-day version. The bare minimum that still counts.
A few focuses to steal if you’re staring at the comment box with no idea what yours is.
