Comments: I learn almost every day. I planned to make healthy cake, which according to the diet book gives 1500cal (which I planned to eat: 1/3 for dinner, 1/3 for breakfast and one third for husband).
Didn't taste so good, so I added some sugar and plum jam. I thought, that it would be additional couple hundred calories, but it gave additional 1500 😟😟😟
In addition: 500 cal piece of cake was so small that left me hungry for the evening and this led to binge eating 😖
Well, you live, you learn: 1) no more "healthy" cake baking for me; 2) to calculate calories before adding them to the meal

Oh... and the hubby refused the cake, so all 3000kcal are mine

Track - yes
Calories - yes
Exercise - yes , one hour step class and 30 mins on treadmill
Comments; I arrived at the leisure centre early for my step class so decided to go on the treadmill for 30 mins while I was waiting. OMG it was sooooo boring, I was really watching the timer count down. But I persevered and felt good about it when it finished.
@Rigibann I tend to run/walk on the treadmill only when it's super hot outside and I don't want to bother with sunscreen or my cover ups because I am far too pasty to be in the sun for too long at midday and it's definitely boring but I tend to watch 5v on my phone which helps and it's really the only time I watch TV so I guess it's not the worst since I do get to catch up on TV!!
@Rigibann , I forgot to tell you, your comment about the treadmill being soooooo boring, made me lol. I know how you feel. The treadmill IS boring. It's why it's also referred to as the dreadmill. But @AB0215 is right. It's a great option when being outside just isn't an option and it's a great way to catch up on some guilt free TV watching. I actually ran 4 miles on the dreadmill this week while watching an episode from The Biggest Loser. I am not a fan of the extreme diet and weight loss methods, but I have to admit, the show gets me motivated and it was a good way to knock out my 4 mile run which I was feeling too unmotivated to run outside. I think it's awesome that you got in some treadmill work before your workout!1 -

Happy to see the scale going down again, but MFP has stopped posting my weight loss. It's a minor issue but a little discouraging.batgirl140 wrote: »Batgirl140

Yay!! It's the weekend! On my new regimen I will not be doing IF on the weekends due to the fact that I have to run 11 miles this (Saturday) morning. I wasn't feeling the best yesterday (Friday) so honestly, I'm a little terrified. Already looking forward to eating after my run

Good luck !!!1 -

So very happy about this despite the "gain" Yesterday I was 140.2, so I will definitely take this. And hopefully I can control myself this week and see 134 on the scale for the first time ever in my adult life, hopefully, I think I've been going through some self sabotage lately, I tend to do it when I get close to my goal and that is something I really need to work on.2 -

I think my Fitbit is on the fritz. It is posting exercise and calories burned when I did no such exercise. Yes, I walk at school, and to/from my car, and I do some yard work outside, but not as many calories as the fitbit says. It can't be accurate.2 -

I'm so happy! My run went really great. I planned well in advance as far as my eating went, so although my calories were above what I have set in MFP (I don't have premium where you can set different calorie goals on different days), they were still within my planned limits for the day. When I do a big run like that, I NEED to eat back enough to help me recover or I will feel like crap for two days.
I started my morning with some keto coffee which never fails to give me adequate energy for a run. But I also did another experiment. I wanted to see what would happen if I ate peanut m&m's during my run. I don't eat a general low carb diet because I don't like carbs, I do it because I LOVE carbs and I want to learn how to control and use them to my personal benefit and pleasure. To give me strength instead of zapping it. To bring me joy and satisfaction instead of guilt. So last week when I did my run fasted, black coffee only, I was struggling from the first step. I was starving. I could feel it. This week, fueled by coffee with fat added, I started feeling really good...and I wasn't hungry at all. On my fasted run, about 50 minutes in is when I felt my body make a turn for the worse. I felt like my body was screaming for some kind of fuel at that moment, so I took a note of it. So yesterday at the 50 minute mark, even though my run was strong and I was feeling great, I put an m&m in my mouth. From that 50 minute mark the rest of my run would be primarily uphill. It tasted awesome and I loved being able to eat one of my favorite candies knowing I would be burning it off before my run even ended but also felt good knowing that I didn't NEED to eat it. So I ate one M&M every 10 minutes until my run was over. It was awesome. I really feel like it added something more to my run. Definitely something to look forward to! I brought 50 grams with me, but only ended up eating 22 grams (around 7 or 8 m&m's). Even though I burned off enough energy to eat all of them, I wasn't even tempted to, because they had a purpose, and they had served it. All of my long runs this year have been fueled by coffee plus fat. Some were good, some were a little harder. The BIGGEST difference between this run and all the others was my energy level AFTER the run. I felt GREAT. I STILL had tons of energy and felt like I could have easily ran another two miles at the same pace. Normally after a long run, I'm just dead. Even though this was my longest run so far this year, it was also my best one. So next week I will be bringing my m&m's and hoping for a similar result.1 -

💬Comments: Today I bought a big tub of whey protein powder (Belgian chocolate flavour). I haven’t been getting enough protein in my diet and I’ve been feeling hungry and snacking on unhealthy stuff. I’ve only had one shake so far but I’m not feeling hungry and I don’t feel like snacking. I’m hoping that drinking a couple of shakes each day will help me feel fuller.
