Mini Challenge
Date: Sun, 17th:
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes, treadmill for an hour. I can't wait until I'm completely healed from my surgery expand my workouts!! Getting on here every day is making me realize how bored I am with treading every day. It'll definitely be refreshing to get back to work in the gym and change things up.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? no(Pass Day) I let myself fall off the keto platform today and when I do that I tend to overeat. But I'll be back on it tomorrow morning
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes2 -
Weigh in day:
Last week 175.3
This week 173.5
Not sure how I lost this week as didn’t go to the gym at all or log (though did only have prepped meals). Stress? This is a lucky result. Survived my on call week but desperate for my day off (Wednesday). I have an online shopping delivery booked for then to meal prep for the week and my fiancée is away so only accountable to myself. So happy I can go to the gym and taekwondo this week!

First week opinions on Intermittent Fasting.
The transition has been much easier than I thought it would be. I was never a breakfast eater so I usually didn’t eat til 10am anyway. I basically shrunk my window from 10am - 8pm over to 11am - 7pm.
One of the things that made it easy is I try to prep, and enter into the app, all of my foods for the next day the night before. This seems obvious and maybe I should have been doing it all along, but the smaller time window made it seem more necessary to me.
The biggest struggle has been the time window at night. I usually don't get home from the gym til 6-6:15pm. So I have been left with a short window to get dinner in. Someone here told me they do a 12-8 window. I may try that out this week so I am not forcing dinner right away just to get my last meal in.
I do the 12-8p. I usually just eat lunch and dinner. If I wake up hungry, I'll only eat breakfast and dinner. It helps me to have bigger meals since I used to be a binge eater.2 -

I also do IF but switch it up every week so it doesnt get boring for me. Eating 12-8 is a good plan. It allows for lunch, enough tine to do gym or errands after work, and still time for dinner without it being super late and eating righ before bed.4 -

Well done everyone for the losses and effort stories last week - it really kept me motivated and on plan.
I've been away on a mini break and food has been off plan in quite a big way. Get home tomorrow so hoping 2 days of guzzling water and being 100% on plan will mitigate any gains at least slightly 😳5 -
Hi, all. Took some family time away from here Sunday and Monday, so now I am going to get caught up. Bear with me.4

@lozenger1984, well done on losing almost two pounds! Your prepped meals obviously were under your calorie goal, and yes, some stress may have played a role as well! Enjoy your workouts again this week!!2
