    I have struggled a little with eating at night lately. My daughter sent me this another time I was struggling. Thought I would share.

    So far I made it both days. Today was hard because I am tired.

    I feel great today! Wasn’t hungry so decided I’d do a little intermittent fasting. 18:6 today! Stayed within my calorie goals and just crushed my longest bike workout yet. Hoping it shows up tomorrow morning during weigh in. I was up earlier in the week, so it won’t be much of a loss I’m sure, but I’m hoping for something.

    I forget where I left off with steps, but here’s the last few days:

    1/26= 10,539
    1/27= 6,801
    1/28= 12,179

    I've been eating so very bad. It's terrible to love food and never really feel full. Today though I've started back at the gym. I'm doing stronglift 5x5 and walking/running.
    My steps today(1/29/20) are 13,803.

    Friday Weigh In
    Week 4
    Previous: 167.6
    Current: 166.4

    Victory.gif

    Total loss for the month is 2.6 lbs. It could have been more had I been more consistent throughout, but I wasn't and I'll take this loss. I KNOW what works for my body, but like @19shmoo69, I love food and don't always DO what works for my body. The No Junk Food Challenge does help me stay on track a bit better, and the things on that list are both "triggers" for me and also make me gain weight. If I can continue to eliminate (or really just control) those things and continue to increase my exercise, I CAN and WILL lose weight. This is not a sprint; it's a marathon.

    Here's to consistency! One Day at a Time!

    Hi Team!! I’m super curious to know if anyone here is following a specific type of diet? If so what is it and how do you like it. I am normally all about CICO and take an everything in moderation approach. This month I’ve been following more of a Whole 30/Paleo approach. I am doing so in support of a friend who is following Whole 30 strictly. Now I have not been fully compliant but stuck to it pretty close overall. I’m finding that I like how I am feeling but it’s definitely not a long term plan for me. I have already started adding back in some sugars but in moderation. Dairy and grains I’ve been more compliant with.

    What’s your plan? What works for you?
