My issue seems to be not finding workouts I enjoy and stick too. Also the environment I'm in. I was recommended a podcast and one thing they talked about was to set things out ahead of time so it takes the guess work out and it's right in view. Worth a shot.
Today was my first day of a con. I went to the gym in morning and packed all my food so I could calorie count.
Kept it around 1500 today and followed IF. Made very healthy food choices.
Thank you. I had a great first day. Going to attempt 7 to 8 hours of sleep so I can be ready for the gym in morning. I know people will keep going all night but I want my body to feel good and I want to keep to my goals. I'm also choosing to only drink water and not do any boozing.
Lose 10 pounds: 1/10 (Start of month is CW in flair)
Lift weights 8 times: 1/8 (same)
Track and stick to calories: 4/4 (1500-2000)
Ride stationary bike: 0/8 (same)
Made the meal preps I was planning out yesterday. Didn't eat one yet but I had a BBQ with my grandparents. Unweighed homemade food kinda scares me for tracking but I tracked it as best I can. Now just have to make sure my dog makes it through the night without getting too scared and keep trucking as usual. Hope everyone is having a good 4th of July!
Well done for enjoying the day off. Dogs and bunnies 🥰
📆 Day 4
🎯 Goal July 2024: create a moderate overall deficit for the month + practice weight neutrality
🧃 July balance: 893 kcal deficit
🥬 Weight: neutral. I did brag about my weight loss earlier but gotta be careful. The loss isn’t real until there’s averages so don’t get too invested in the number 😂
🏓 I had a nice day off after yesterday’s ill health. Basically chilled napped and washed my hair.
💭 I’m a broken record but I’m
SHOCKED at the difference carbs make. Eating protein+veg+fat in high volume to lose weight left me night time snacking. Eating frozen dinners that contain… potatoes… I don’t snack. I don’t even THINK about snacks. I don’t even NOTICE I have a deficit. This is counterintuitive to me so bears repeating. 😂
Hi all!! After a few months break, I am back starting tomorrow (which will be day 6). I'll try to post some weekly goals in the day 5 thread. I was moving which really threw off my routine but now I'm all moved in, workout stuff is unpacked, and ready to jump on a new routine.
Day four:
Protein goal 127 ✅ 4/31
Fiber goal 28 ✅ 3/31
No coffee ❌2/31
Surprised myself and no coffee today. I felt awful this morning lol. Protein and fiber happened.
I tried a premium app and it’s nice but $$$$ so I’m migrating to loseit. Looks like my goals are premium, so I’m trialing that now.
Day 4!
• Keep within my calorie budget as much as possible: ✅ 3/31
• Exercise (weights, yoga, Pilates, dance, whatever) 2-3/week: ✅ 3/31
• Weigh in daily: ✅ 2/31
• Keep up with cleaning: ✅ 4/31
• Declutter: ✅ 4/31
Not perfect with the calorie budget and weighing daily, but still trying. Today, I recycled some printed sewing patterns I no longer want to use, upcycled two hoodies into cropped hoodies since that’s my preferred style, washed dishes, and completed two long-standing sewing WIPs to add to my closet.
Also, I woke up to a boil water advisory and set about boiling two giant pots of water only to have the advisory end before the water even cooled down. Feels a little bit like a waste but I’m thankful that it’s over.
Day 4:
114 calories over my goal which again considering it’s a holiday I am not gonna complain about too much.
Tomorrow I am going on a hike with my bf and two of his friends. He’s very active, he picked a flat-ish trail for me. I can hike but I do tend to go slower and get winded, another reason why I want to keep losing. We’ll see how I do!!!
Day 4

Post here every day: I am back to log my progress for a second day.
Calories: Currently, I've eaten about 1,450 calories. Had some fruit and store bought prepared tofu. Also had half a take out burrito for lunch. The exact calorie count for store bought food is unknown, so I could've over or underestimated. Oh well. I'm going to have a snack later, so I'll definitely be over my limit today, but I'll be ok with that.
Steps: I have close to 12,000 steps.
Run every other day: I am planning to go for a run after I post. The goal is 3 miles but I'll keep going if my legs and lungs are up to it. It's still quite warm out.
CW: 103kg GW: 63kg
Jumping on this train 4 days late but oh well! I've eaten a strawberry protein smoothie for breakfast and a bit of salmon poke bowl and miso soup for lunch, will have had 1100 calories so far today when I eat the rest of that later. I will exercise and take a shower later too. Then I need to watch my project video. And snacks will be an apple and 1tbsp peanut butter later, and dinner will be 100-200 cals blue cheese and some cucumber and tomato salad with lemon juice and olive oil.
