    Feeling good about this loss and planning a walk for this afternoon. Trying to plan meals ahead as a way to stay on track and avoid snacking on less healthy foods.

    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.

    You can do it!

    Comments - knew it was too good to be true - had a good week, kept control and did my exercise and then my daughter and family came over unplanned. Lovely to see them but boy oh boy did I blow it tonight! Crisps, chocolate and alcohol- feel so cross now I’ve eaten it 😖

    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.

    ✅Track: yes
    ✅Calories: yes
    ✅Exercise: 122 minutes running at 11 min/mile pace. 20 minutes warm up & cool down

    Comments:

    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.

    💬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.

    Small gains the last 2 days. Waiting for the drop again. Maybe not enough fiber.
