Amy, I have a question about the A agreement. What to do if you are already meeting your activity goals consistently? On most days, I have no issue getting in my walk and gym time. (I hope this doesn’t sound like a humble brag. Unlike a lot of you ladies here who are still in the thick of it with kids and jobs, my kids are both out of the house and I work a very flexible job from home, so it’s usually very easy to arrange my schedule.) I don’t really have another activity I want to pursue right now, and despite my schedule, the thought of adding in another commitment just to do it right now would probably stress me out rather than relax me or support my goals. Thoughts?

@Patti Mroczek thank you so much — I must have overlooked this resource. Thank you for pointing it out!

Day 13✅ I’m not sure if this constitutes a trigger or just my response to the trigger, but I sometimes (too often) find myself feeling resentful about how much effort and thought it takes to plan and prep my meals, make sure I’m getting enough protein, drinking enough water — all of it. Which leads me to want to rebel — against myself? — and “sneak” food, an extra handful or spoonful of whatever I just took the time to weigh or measure on the food scale, running my spoon around the inside of the yogurt container after I’ve made up my overnight oats jars to “clean it up.” It’s a “you can’t tell ME what to do, but *I’m* the “you.” I feel at cross-purposes with myself.

@Leigh Ann Koch ohhh -/ I love that “she focuses on what she wants most instead of what she wants now.” Totally stealing that! 🩷

Day 7: IF I keep my calories low, THEN I’ll lose weight faster. FLIP: I’m building a strong body, not a skinny k e. I nourish my body in support of my goals. My worth doesn’t come from the scale. I have ease in my relationship to that number — I know it doesn’t define my worth.

Day 11 was really powerful. I loved the thought that this person was already inside of me — I mean, I knew that but had just forgotten. It was nice to see her again.

Day 13: well that was ugly. 😬😢😖

I love hearing the science and logic behind the programming. Thank you. In addition to all the things you mentioned, for me, the mental side of this programming is also huge. There’s so much less dread factor with the full body program for me
