Exercise: Yes
45 min.workout with dumbbells. It felt like a bit of a slog, but I got it done!

Calories: Yes
I’m a bit surprised I’ve managed to keep my calorie consumption down lately, but I know I’ll have multiple times i want to indulge this month, so I’m trying to bank some calories.

Tracking: Yes

It's such a different situation in your sport, a medal only depends on myself in my own sport whereas you've got to deal with someone else who may think otherwise! Talk about team work. Way to go!

Very good insight! Not only 2 minds (and emotions) but also two different sets of biomechanics to bring together and very different languages (dressage training is primarily developing a common language that results in the horse responding to requests to perform the same movements on request that she would do naturally on her own.) A longterm relationship with a horse you have trained is very special.

Youtube video where Arnold originally lectured on this (just under 5 minutes long) The poster is the Coles Notes / Table of Contents list. Worth hearing / absorbing / applying the details.

Yes x3!

Exercice- 60 min yoga class with a friend and 6000 step dog walk to round off the day! It was the 1st moment where this challenge stepped in (haha) to motivate me to go outside and go something when I would have rather gone straight to bed!

Tracking - yes!

Calorie budget - yes!

FitAndLean_5738

Yes x3 today. It's only been a handful of days and I'm already starting to feel so much better than when I ate whatever I wanted in unnecessarily large portions. Getting in 20 minutes of activity everyday has also helped with my stress which is such a blessing, especially around finals season.

Yes 3
The exercise minutes are high by 15. The calories burned probably low (long story)
Pleased I’m Continuing to eat less & I’m ending day with larger caloric deficit.

I’m going to go out on a limb here regarding “no forbidden foods.” I’m on this journey to maximize my health. So I do have forbidden foods (by the Txplant medical team): no buffets, no deli counter foods, no salad bars, no sushi or raw meats or eggs, no bacon or sausages or deli meats, no feta, blue cheese, Camembert, etc., no grapefruit.

The ones I’ve added: deep fried foods, things with refined sugar, white flour, processed foods, high sodium foods...

I probably allow myself 3-5 servings of these per Month, so they probably fall more in line with what you guys are saying.

The reasons I don’t eat them often at all:
1) I love having great results on my medical labs. Cholesterol Bp triglycerides complete blood count etc. HA1C are all low-normal 🙏🏻

2) They trigger me to eat more. If I don’t eat them (except rarely in small amounts), they don’t seem to trigger my appetite and/or my cravings. I no as long as I don’t have those, I can remain slim. Small price to pay!

I watched a video about what do successful maintainers do. And one was “sustained cognitively reduced caloric intake.” And folks use many different methods to do this. Some restrict the times the can eat (IF), some eliminate or reduce food groups, some restrict calories per day, and some restrict trigger foods, etc. my feeling is we each figure out a combination of strategies what work for us!!

For me, it’s some restrictions, eating only if I have a 350 or more caloric deficit, eating the same 650-700 calorie breakfast daily at the same time, 500-600 Active calories per day, lots of water/tea, gratefulness, 3 meals per day, eating mindfully, small plates.

unsalted nuts, apples, berries, non-fat decaf lattes, Ezekiel Sesame bread, 82% dark chocolate, lean meats, fish, veggies, greens.

@MadisonMolly2017 Do you have a link to this video? I might like to watch “sustained cognitively reduced caloric intake.” I agree that "folks use many different methods to do this. Some restrict the times the can eat (IF), some eliminate or reduce food groups, some restrict calories per day, and some restrict trigger foods, etc. my feeling is we each figure out a combination of strategies what work for us!!"

I saw it through a discussion group about 2-6 months ago. Tried searching for it. Needle in haystack, but I’ll keep looking!
