    I’m hoping this turns into a scale victory next week. I didn’t go to it because I know I would have gone wayyyyy overboard with eating. Patting myself on the back.

    3 week tracked tdee was over 500 calories more today than for the previous two tracked 3wk tdees. Huh? Not sure why I've got the big diff, and not sure whether to make changes now or wait to see what the values are after another week. I think wait and see.

    Exercised?: Yes. over 10,000 steps (drone track setup and takedown).
    Calories?: Yes
    Tracked?: Yes

    Racing quads again today. Fixed the broken one. Took till 2am, so this is why no post yesterday.

    Out early before I could get breakfast, then was out all day. Was 1,600 calories off daily requirement by dinner and no way I could eat that much in one sitting.

    So well under on food again today (sigh).

    Fortunately my wife seems to be over her illness from last week now.

    By her own idea, my wife has entered into a 30 day Keto challenge on a facebook. I fully support her on this as it may help manage with her type 2. She has had good results with low-carb diets in the past. Atkins has also helped her. Here's hoping she can stick with it to help get her down from >32 BMI (>30 is classified as obese - <25 is classified as normal in - I am round 21).


    June 4
    Exercised?: Yes. 5km in 45mins (city walking).
    Calories?: Yes
    Tracked?: Yes

    Early flight interstate for work. Exercise and diet has gone all to hell. Doing what I can as I can, but still not ideal (or comfortable). Need to change hotels again in the morning.

    Last weeks travel and the weekend has left me well short on calories and it's starting to turn up on the scale. But eating things that I know do not make me feel good healthy seems counter productive.

    Only a little short on calories today, but not enough of what my wife classifies as "real" food.





    Daily Strength challenge

    Challenge for June 04 is sit-ups or crunches (abs day - be sure to use a mat or towel for cushioning -
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzqLFXKOC8Q
    )

    2 sets
    • First set till the point where you can do no more, wait 2 mins
    • Second set of 50% of the number you did in the first set (half)

    The reason for only 2 sets for this exercise is that it ideally should be balanced with back strengthening exercises (which plank variants provide).

    Heavy heart today, involving issues both with work and family. The work matter will be resolved today hopefully, and we'll know more about the family issue later this week, but right now, I feel sick to my stomach.

    Two months ago, I would have run to the kitchen pantry for solace. Today I'm here, reporting this to you all. We're all dealing with the ups and downs (and way, way downs) of living life. Some things we can't control, and some things we can. At least making a decision to eat well today, and take care of myself by exercising, means that no matter what, this day can have a bright spot.

    Best wishes to you all today, as you deal with your ups and downs of this life.

    @LesIckaBod. Hope all issues are resolved soon and in a good way for you (and your family).

    Really well done for not trying to find the answers at the bottom of an ice-cream tub or cookie-jar.

    Taking care of yourself leaves you in MUCH better condition to deal with life's issues. Work on what you can control and other things will fall into place.

    It's the Serenity Prayer being played out.
    "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference."

    You are a great example showing that having the healthy habits of eating and activity will help with everything else. Even if it is the only thing within your control. This can be the core from which the strength comes to deal with other things. "I am doing this right, so I am capable of doing good. From here good things will come".
