This is dissapointing but not surprising. I really struggled this week. As an introvert, adjusting to post pandemic life my anxiety has been way up. I am exhausted. Also, an out of town friend has been visiting this week. Haven't been able to see this friend since end of 2019. It's been fun, but bad food choices.3 -
My food has been quite a mixture of things today and my macros are way off what they should be, but I've kept within my calories.
That will have to do for now1 -
Weekly Roundtable DiscussionWhat do you currently have your calorie goals set to? Do you vary it from day to day? And do you have any other macro/micronutrients that you currently strive to eat less or more of?
Happy Friday!🥂
OK, I have a few minutes. I used to have my profile set to very active which gave me a calorie goal of 1530 per day. I didn't add back any adjustment from steps or exercise as I figured that was already accounted for in my activity level. I recently decided to change it to lightly active which gives me a goal of 1230 calories per day, and have been adding my calorie adjustment. This is why I've gone over calories the last few days. I haven't been getting an exercise allowance as I've been glued to my desk and only getting 5-7k steps a day as opposed to the 15,000 I would normally get.
I don't vary it from day to day as my breakfast, mid-morning snack, and lunch never change. The only variable is what I have for dinner and if I have a drink after.
About 2 years ago I started watching my carbs. I don't do keto as I like fruits and veggies too much, but before I would have steel cut oatmeal for breakfast, Greek yogurt and/or a banana for snack, etc. I'd eat a lot of other high carb fruit like grapes, mangoes, pineapple, etc. My carbs were typically over 200g per day even though my calorie count was about the same as it is now. I found lowering my carbs to less than 100g, ideally less than 75g per day has been the key. Before I struggled, dieted, exercised, etc. and could never get below 155. For my daughter's wedding in 2017 I managed to get down to 152 for about a week. Since reducing my carb intake I have been able to maintain between 141-145 with no trouble.
Happy Friday! I'll be on vacation for the next week, I'll probably pop in once in a while but will not be participating in the MUAC until I return on the 20th. Enjoy!!2 -
You guys - I really miss being in the challenge! It's so easy for me to slack without the accountability. I am looking forward to checking back in July and rejoining with new dedication. (and probably a horrible starting weight) You guys keep up the great work - this group is so supportive and helpful. Sometimes you don't realize how much you love something until it is gone

I may be quiet and not as participatory for a while. We put an offer on a home and have been trying to get our home ready with all the purging of 19 years and what not. We are in a bidding war with multiple offers. Trying to remind myself, either way, its all in God's hands so don't stress eat! It won't help! 😊
Lol Sounds like you’re moving to Florida?? Or maybe the GA housing market is just as hot as ours!? I work in the home insurance business, so I know it’s crazy out there right now!
Good luck! I hope they take your offer!! (Also: Moving might be considered a workout in and of itself!!)
It's terrible here too neighbor! They are now receiving multiple offers so we resubmitted a new offer. Should hear something late Sunday. We crunched our numbers plenty and if it's not good enough then so be it😉
(In response to an earlier question. I'm at 1300 now calories per day. I would probably up it if I could be doing more intense exercise - maybe the moving will help!)
