Jordan's Skinny Syrups is offering a three-pack of zero calorie pumpkin syrups right now: Pumpkin Spice, Pumpkin Caramel and Pumpkin Cheesecake. Of the three, the Pumpkin Caramel is my favorite but they're all good in coffee and with certain herbal teas. (I finally figured out how to enjoy the chamomile tea that came in a variety pack). They're especially tasty when added to plain Greek yogurt.4

ME:
30y * 5'9" * Weight goal: 63kg (138,89lbs)
OCTOBER GOALS- Get back below 69kg
- Maintain good eating habits/workout routines even when away from home...
- Continue no (added) sugar for as many days as possible
WEIGHT
1 Oct: 70kg
In 9 days, I'll be living my dream and become a digital nomad! Super excited about that but it does make it more difficult to be "good"; you have to resist all the new temptations food-wise, you are more social (which means more drinking), and it's harder to plan your workouts. Plus, the first stop is Croatia, where the food is a devious combo of cheap, carb-heavy and divinely good! I do feel I'm in an excellent mindset again, with very few cravings. I hope that sticks with me

01/10: 75.4 - I guess a lot was water weight due to an immense amount of salt and carbs
I went to a new orto specialist today, and the conclusion is that I have to be patient, take pain meds and start physio as soon as the pain subsides, but it can be another few months before it will get better. Meanwhile: rest! So no extra cals from workouts, I will need to be very careful about my eating.5 -

I’m having a really hard time staying focused due to a lot of stressors. I haven’t logged for a couple days. But I am still trying. And apparently trying enough to keep the scale moving. Next weekend we are headed to the mountains. I’m really looking forward to the fall colors! We plan to do tons of hiking and I hope that will help with both the weight goals and the stress.
Good luck everyone!5 -

Stress about my job situation has made this year very - well - stressful. Thankfully still working at this point, but come 2021, chances are my life will be rather different. So just trying to take one day at a time, and make smart choices along the way.4 -

Thanks for the positive feedback!!
I took measurements for tracking.
W: 30”
H: 34.5”
I’d be happy to see 28” for waist.
Will keep working on core exercise 👌🏻
Meanwhile, please REST!
If the doctor is telling you to take it easy, take it easy!! There’s plenty of floor core exercise without arms. Maybe try squats and floor??

05/10: 75.9 - I've been consistent with my eating last week, but I had a small pizza yesterday and I believe this is the result of high carb and high salt intake; it will probably be better tomorrow. Last week, I also managed to get to 70K steps- yay me !4 -

07/10: 75.2 - we have ordered healthy prepped food for the next 4 days. It's a new service in our area offered by an Australian lady who was baffled by our lack of healthy food takeaway options. It's a bit more expensive than cooking ourselves, but superfresh and tasty. So here we go, giving this a try.
