Go out once a week to hangout/hobby/concert/etc✅️ I did hangout with a friend we went to the gym together but I'm not sure if this counts as hanging out. I'm gonna say it is for this week being around friends seems good
I had a trip that went super well! I had a performance with my alumni group and the current members. I didn't track food or even estimate for the first time in over a year. I also didn't weigh! And walked about 20k steps a day. I was pleasantly surprised that my weight today was still about 128.
■□□□□□ **Calorie deficit**• ✔️I'm gonna say just barely.
■□□□□□□ **Pre-Logged**• ✔️
**I ate** a tuna sandwich for lunch.
**I cooked** rice to go with the Trader Joes orange chicken and frozen stir fry veggies we had for dinner.
□□□□□□ **I walked** 3k/8k steps - it's my day off! :)
Day 9: Just came back for a trip. I was pretty surprised to see that I didn’t gain any pounds. I didn’t lose any either, but I am super happy that I can eat at maintenance without counting calories. Back to regular schedule.
- Mindful eating ❌
- A serving of fruits after each meal ❌
- A serving of veggies with each meal ❌
- Working out at least 3 times/week
- At least 7,000 steps ✅ (9,812)
- Empty water bottle at least three times a day ❌
- Sweet drinks (5/12)
Ate at maintenence today because I was feeling too lazy to track.
Successful fasting.
My trainer had to cancel our session because they were sick. I was really tempted to skip the gym. But I ended up going and had a decent workout.
Resetting tomorrow with my deficit.
Lose 10 pounds: 3.2/10 (Start of month is CW in flair)
Lift weights 8 times: 1/8
Track and stick to calories: 9/9 (1500-2000)
Ride stationary bike: 1/8
Made 5 more meal preps this morning, ate 2 already though lol. Didn't sleep very much last night so I'm going to bed early. Always get bad snack cravings when I'm tired and like sticking to a good sleep schedule. So I'm eating an apple and then straight to bed :)
I weighed in on Sunday and was up .6 lbs. I kind of expected it since I had gone significantly over my food budget on Saturday night.
But today I am 30 cal *under* TDEE calorie goal and I did my HIIT class yesterday and am signed up to go again tomorrow 💪🏼
Day 9 Workout:
- 2/ 5 this week (✅✅✔️✔️✔️)
- Track all food ✅
- Walk 10k+ everyday✅ (walked 12k) - Lose 5 lbs (below 145) (149 today — hoping for 148 by end of week!)
Well done on laughing. Yay prairie dogs bunnies and robins. 🥰
📆 Day 9
🎯 Goal Jul 2024: create a moderate overall deficit for the month + practice weight neutrality
🧃 July balance: 1603 kcal deficit. It’s growing! 👑
🥬 Weight: neutral.
🏓 I enjoyed assembling a “copycat” frozen dinner. But even though I calorie matched, somehow my version is tiny compared to theirs. 😂 No fair lol
💭 my waist went down to 71cm! That’s 12cm lost! I was smaller in 2022. I refuse to gain weight again 😂 dieting is a pain.
🏋️♀️I created a brutal glutes routine and shockingly I enjoyed it… bc it was tailored perfectly to me! (Weight gain gave me the push to start lifting, so I appreciate it.)
Day eight:
Protein goal 127 ✅ 8/31
Fiber goal 28 ❌5/31
No coffee ✅7/31
Beans are magical. Without them I do not hit my fiber goal. I didn’t hardly sleep at night and almost skipped the gym to “conserve strength” for my long day. I went and it was fine. Made me feel strong and I made it till the end. Not a minute over. But I made it. I thought the coffee headaches were gone. But I had another, mild one all day. Read up on caffeine withdrawal and sounds like it can take a month AND both drowsiness and insomnia are symptoms.
Day 9!
Goals:
- hit 220 ❌ (not yet! currently at 230.8)
- weigh myself every day ✅
- go down a pant size ❌
- drink at least 70 oz water every day ❌(hit 50)
- eat more fruits and veggies ✅
- walk at least 10 K steps a day ❌
I signed up for this thread last month but I haven’t been on plan a single day. I am struggling with chronic illness and depression right now and I know the only way I’ll get out of this cycle is to eat healthy and be more active. But every day I try I end up binging and repeating the cycle. It happened yesterday, I allowed myself an unplanned snack and I went off the rails. I could have resisted the cravings but I didn’t even try. I just gave in immediately which is not like my usual self.
Today I am going to stick to my plan and will report back. My last streak was 3 days and I felt good enough to go on a bike ride. I know I can do this but something is blocking me right now.
I’m not seeking advice because I have complicated medical issues on top of this, I just needed to write this out for accountability reasons.
Day 9!!!
