So, I signed up to try out the Health Coaching from Fitbit since I just can't seem to manage on my own. I don't need a trainer; I just need someone to check in with me daily to encourage/motivate me and remind me of my goals. I just started but I already feel hopeful that it will help. Just knowing another person will actively check in with me is helpful.

My goals this week are:

- 10,000 steps a day
- 3, 30-45-minute cardio workouts
- Average 1700 calories per day

Yesterday I got all my steps in and took 3 long walks with my dogs. I went a little over on my calories because I had a tea latte in the morning to help combat a migraine, but I still was under my calories burned so I'm going to call that acceptable. I had a break through in therapy and recovery the last month or so as I have realized that it's my OCD that really creates barriers in my diet and weight loss. So I'm just trying to view every step forward as progress and if/when I meet my goals that's a win and cause for reward/celebration.
