Suffered concussion. Difficulty functioning, focusing, organizing, reading. It is too difficult to concentrate on measuring food and making entries into my diet journal.

Nov. 6 2019 204.6 lb. January 1 2020 204.2 lbs. In "Secret of the Ages" - Robert Collier writes: "Every organ, muscle, tissue & cell of your body is subject to your sub-conscious mind. They rebuild exactly as the mind directs them. What's the model you're holding before your mind's eye?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You cannot evolve and truly blossom spiritually unless you consciously work on forming a collective ambiance of harmony, love, peace and light, in which everyone will breathe and be nourished."

First is to find peace & balance living all alone. Take care of myself the way I would take care of my children. Be as efficient, organized, and productive the same way I would perform at a full-time job. Learn how to Mother myself, well. Set realistic goals: Food Plan - definitely use the tracker to keep me focused on correct portion sizes & balanced protein/carbs/fat. Sit with food, give Thanks, & read a print-out of the food tracker meals to appraise the quality, quantity, and value. Bless the water I drink and repay the Almighty Source for having clean pure energizing water by showing my Love and Gratitude. Exercise Goals - I am not ready. Back injury - need to plan out with my doctor. SP says I need a Cardio & Strength Training program to lose belly fat & improve waist to hip ratio & overall appearance and health. Set up a weekly reward system. Bed by 11 PM. Read until 11:30 PM. Jon

* Food Tracker * Deal w/ Depression Refrain from using a setback as excuse to fall off the wagon. Keep a daily journal on things to be grateful for, and on positive aspects of self, emotions. Do self exam on progress and why I eat the foods I do. Build muscle - burn fat - tone skin as the fat melts away. Keep an outfit out in bedroom that I want to wear, again - try it on every Saturday morning until it fits.
