Was back in the office for my temp/part-time job and it was MENTAL! I only had half an hour for lunch, and it was so full on.
Also was my birthday on Sunday and given it was my second lockdown birthday, I made myself a cake, on a whim! I have not baked a cake since I was.... a teenager, which was about a million years ago!
Oh and I tried the famous Greggs Vegan sausage roll. I feel my life is now complete! It wasn't bad actually.4 -
@rfsatar Happy Birthday! 🎂2

3/22-3/23
Carbs were a bit high each day due to more vegetables than normal and some nuts for a snack. Calories balanced out for being under one day and over the next. Protein remains a focus to see if I can make my cavern of a stomach feel satisfied because thus far, it is not! AND....I gained a half pound so I guess my choices haven’t been all great although a half pound is nothing to be up in arms about. My weight loss challenge ends this week and I’m only down 5 pounds in 11 weeks but I am gaining some definition from my new exercise routine so I’ll be satisfied with that and congratulate the winners.4 -

Yesterday was a great day... until after I went to bed. Got up in the wee hours..well, to wee, it was pitch black, I was half conscious and slammed into the corner of the wardrobe HARD. knocked me on the floor, landed weird, bruised all over and have a black eye. The hubs freaked out and wanted to call an ambulance. I’m fine, just kind of tending to my body and ego bruises today, but I broke my step streak and now I have to start over. Damn.2 -

I have a lot of trouble getting all my protein in too. I actually think carbs from veg are not a bad thing considering the other advantages. What is your routine?

Did not track or exercise (too sore) but ate very little with very low carbs. Onward!3 -

Been down in the dumps, comes and goes.
I did not log food but made sure to get some activity each day and was mindful about my carbs. Took yesterday off as a mental health day to get some cleaning done (=exercise) and walk outside in the sun/70°, a rare treat in the Northeast in March. Had a good night's sleep.

I had my off hours again this week starting Tuesday. I did fine that day and Wednesday, keeping calories and carbs in check and protein over 100g. But by yesterday, I was running on fumes and ate WAY too much. Calories and carbs were over and protein was under. Saving grace was that I worked out early and had a great move day before crashing at 5:30.
@Ringbearer2 i have been doing some exercise challenges on the www.nourishmovelove.com site. There is a lot of HIIT routines and strength and I follow up with a quick jog to get 60 minutes a day in.2 -
Ugh, for some reason I can't seem to get myself to log consistently more than a few weeks at a time. I've been pretty consistent with everything else -- eating about as low carb as I have been, with occasional off days, really good focus and progress on my activity and training goals, good focus on my morning/evening mindfulness routines (which, to be fair, include my Lenten additional prayer discipline, so it's been relatively easy to keep focused on that), and even more focus on and improvement with my sleep. One relatively new addition is a morning wake-up yoga session I've been trying, which I love as a way to start my day.
Next month, though, I am going to really try to log daily the whole month, and also to journal daily, as I've noticed I tend to put that off on days in which I don't log (and I tend to attribute it to stress, so these are issues to get a handle on).4 -

Know them feelz. So much.
I hope to finally lock all my issues down and finally carve enough time to post in my own dang challenges. Fitness is still good. The logging is good, until it isn't, then I fall off the edge of the earth, so the Quarantine chub obviously isn't budging. So far so good. This week at least.
We just need to string more of them together.4 -

So—- finishing out the month:
Weight. -4.6 lbs. I’m a little disappointed in this. I’m also not fitting back in clothes I previously wore above this weight. Age. Grrrr.
Waist -1.0 inch
Stomach -1 inch. I could make it 2 if I really pulled the tape measure tight, but that’s cheating 😀
Hips -1 inch.
Thigh. -.5 inch
Weather is improving and gardening is looming so I hope to improve in Active April!1 -
I kinda fell of reporting in at month end. I was up and down but ended my weight loss challenge down 4.6%. I had hoped for more but am getting to that point where I’m pretty fit and have a hard time shedding more than about half a pound a week without dipping too low on calories. And I’ve gone through a streak of wanting to eat constantly so all in all, not bad. Maybe I’ll hit my goal by summer or just readjust my thinking that the number on the scale is just a number.2
