I'm with you on all that -- I'm really focused on the day-to-day, week-to-week, one step after another aspects. Too daunting to think of how far I still need to go; much easier and happier to look at the daily accomplishments. Between the 5:2 program itself and all the support and encouragement here, I think -- I know -- I can do it.0

@GraetLifeIfYouDontWeaken Awesome job! So happy about your progress.
I definitely struggle with the fd lately as my hunger has increased. I think it's the new exercise regimen I have implemented. Seems the more I exercise the more I want/need to eat. Have to tweak my cardio/lifting/fd to find the right combo.. Anyone have ideas?
Good fd so far...hopefully goes better than earlier this week.0 -
Yes here's an idea for you -- stop exercising!!
Just kidding, of course, and I'm so impressed with all you're doing to be healthy! I personally hate exercise of all shapes and sizes, so I'm doing little of it. Makes it easier on fasting days for sure, though I know I'm going to have to start stepping it up (literally) very soon.

Lol. Thank you for the support Graetlife! Exercising is what makes me get up @ 4:30 most mornings; without it, my internal clock says "you crazy fool stay in bed until 9:30!"
I love working out. Now. Up until 3 years ago, it was very sporadic and little to none. Amazing how it and healthy changes have improved my life. Hope I never revert. I have worked really hard and for way too long to gain all the weight back or lose my gains.
You are doing wonderful without exercise! Keep doing what you're doing and if you see an exercise you are interested in trying, go for it. You never know, although of course you really can already know. Lol
Ps - Yay can't wait for your "steps" to start! My new toy arrived today and I CAN NOT wait to try it out!0 -
How are you liking your Atlas?!!?0

Up late tonight! Just checking in since I've been busy socializing the last Two days - out for dinner & a lunch!! Had one friend comment that I'm down right skinny! Haha! It's hard to log from a restaurant that's not listed in MFP, but trying to log the best I can by estimating is at least worth points right??
@megemrj What is this toy you're talking about??? So curious!!
Yes Flossy!! You & I must plan a virtual "cheers" on your bday.... Which is also my daughter's grad night from nursing! We must stay focused on our goal .... April 29th here we come! I have been considering doing that Jillian Michaels 30 day shred workout......? Not really a fan of hers, maybe yelling burns a lot of calories.....in any case I'm focused on the 29th & may consider adding an extra exercise.
Hope all is going well for everyone!!!
Whew! I'm gonna feel like crap tomorrow...downed 3 glasses of wine!!!! K it was slowly, but still.......

@maminthekitchen makes you feel accomplished when someone notices your hard work! So happy for you. We should enjoy life and really live. Otherwise what's all the hard work for? Totally know about the restaurant trouble with recording. We had a family shopping day and lunch. Well of course we ate at a restaurant not listed. So I think my entry looks weird too. But I did record it so there is that...
My toy is my new Atlas fitness Wearable. It will help me calc calories burned from weight lifting and cardio. It also recognizes exercises I'm doing, how many, and rate my form. I used for the first time last night while lifting and it's a learning process for me and it. Today is only cardio so we will see how it is for that. Loving it so far!!
Hope you don't feel too terrible today. I ended up having sweet potato fries (@lunch) and a cookie or two last night (homemade for my boys). I'm all kinds of bloated and gassy.0 -

Just saw this^^ so liking it so far! It's learning and I am too. Me probably more than it. Lol. Although I think it thought I was taller ***must be my BIG attitude***. It kept missing my squats in the beginning but by the end it caught every one. Lol. I wish it would work with other fitness programs like strong Lifts. That would be cool not to need to utilize two apps. But hey I'm gadget Queen so it's all good. 0 -
Glad you're pleased with the Atlas. It will be so nice and customized just for you very soon. Such a cool product. Maybe you could drop a line to the team that makes it asking them to consider cross-functioning with Lifts etc in a future update?0

Good idea! I did email them quite a few times asking questions before I made the purchase. They were very helpful and quick with responses. Maybe it will make a difference.0

Whoops, ya okay, I feel terrible.... It is so strange how I feel now after having more than one glass of wine. I used to have plenty of wine! Cut it down a little at a time to reduce calories, then started to forget to have it, now I have maybe 1 1/2 glasses per week! But 3 glasses last night and I need a Tylenol and a gallon of water!!! Geez! Not sure if I'm annoyed or not??
@megemrj that's great to hear you're using this new toy!! I have never heard about the atlas, so I'll google it (as soon as I can lift my head off the pillow!). I wish I was as savvy with the gadgets! Sometimes I have trouble figuring out my steps calculated between Apple Heath kit and MFP and map my walk!! Sometimes it registers one walk twice or doubles up? Not sure, it's prob me not reading the instructions properly! All I use is my iPhone. I don't log my weight workouts, figure it's just a hidden bonus and that's ok for now.
Uhhhhh.... Time to be mobile! 0
