Food and Finances

I’m going to be real with you.

I hate tracking my finances.

Like, really hate it.

You know how you feel about thrusters? or burpees? or … *gasp* … RUNNING?!

That’s me tracking dollars.

I’ve always had a weird relationship with money—partly because of how it was talked about in my house growing up and the behaviors I saw modeled. It worked well enough for my parents (all love to them), but now, twenty years later, I’m feeling like I have a lot of work to do on a seemingly simple behavior.

I won’t go deep into all that, but here’s what you need to know:

I avoid looking at my bank accounts, credit cards, and investments unless I absolutely have to.

It makes me uncomfortable. It stirs up all kinds of feelings—mostly frustration and shame. I just don’t like it. I get discouraged. I feel behind. I feel like I’m failing (even though we’re perfectly happy and comfortable). And it becomes this vicious cycle of avoidance.

But here’s the thing… I do have financial goals. And the only way I’m going to reach them is by being consistent about tracking, analyzing, and reporting what’s going on.

I come back to this quote from Sharran Srivatsaa all the time:

Sure, it’s about business KPIs, but the same principle applies to personal finance. And you know what else?

If you want to improve your finances: track and measure your spending and income. If you want to really improve it: report that data to someone who can help you make strategic, personalized changes.

Same goes for your nutrition.

Want to improve your food intake? Start writing everything down. Want to really improve it? Measure it, log it, and check in with someone who can help you optimize it based on your goals and your life.

For me, tracking food is easy. I’ll weigh, measure, and input everything into a tracker without thinking twice. It doesn’t stress me out—it actually helps me stay grounded and feel in control.

But finances? Whole different story. Even though I know that tracking, analyzing, and getting guidance is the path to success… it still trips me up.

So here’s what I’m doing about it:

It’s not complicated—but it is difficult for me. That’s why I’m leaning on a coach to guide me. After all, growth is on the other side of discomfort, right?

And maybe food is that difficult thing for you.

If you’re feeling frustrated with your weight… or your relationship with food… or your lack of energy… or just feeling stuck and overwhelmed by nutrition—
