    @MotivatedM3 I intermittent fast too. I feel like it makes it much easier to lower my intake. Also I weirdly feel a little more free because I spend less time cooking, cleaning, being hungry and it fits my goals better.

    @AB0215 awesome. I still have to cook for the kids and clean for that matter lol. But now I feel less hungry and end up only eating one meal a day. I make sure I get all my nutrients in that one meal tho

    Goals/Comments:
    Finally went outside using my upright walker on Tuesday. I've been afraid cause we gave a steep driveway and the rollator is has loose wheels but I did it.

    I spoke to my pulmonologist about my breathing concerns and he changed my medication for these tough months and said despite my 4 lungs 🫁 diseases I have pretty good lungs and when I continue to lose weight consistently he doesn't see why I would be able to get off the oxygen. So great news! It feels good when your doctors acknowledges your progression.

    Met with my personal trainer yesterday and most of my workouts she change cause I was not forming it correctly but that's why I am glad that I have her so I don't injure my body more doing the workouts incorrectly. So did it this morning with her changes and boy although I burn less I felt the difference so feeling good. Knowledge is power.

    On another note on one of the weight loss groups I am in one member posed the question, "is your lifestyle something you can continue or is it just a diet (temporary)?"

    So although my food plan is something that's long-term I had to reflect on my workout regimen. Although I've been struggling with my breathing I am committing 2 workouts a day for at least 30 minutes 5x a week and resting on weekends as my long-term goal.

    I think this is something we need to reflect on. . .what do you guys think? Is this a temporary plan or can you follow through 80% of the time?

    Tracked: No
    Under Calories: No
    Exercise: Sorta, went shopping. 45 moves minutes. Sorta did fit as challenges, jumping jacks yes, side rotating planks no. My upper arm strength has a lot of room for improvement. I can barely get into a regular plank position, and can not hold it more than a second or so but did attempt to do them instead. This challenge has motivate me to want to use my weights again and try and do some strength training.
    Got dinner after shopping, hamburger, tots and a milk shake. It hit the spot but was almost uncomfortably full afterwards

    @KakoHikes I used to be able to do side planks and side plank rotations much better than I can right now, that was a wake up call for sure! It is motivating though, because it's reminding me why I'm doing this, to get back to where I was at the beginning of last year so I can feel better and move better!

    Goals/Day/Comments: Saw my Sleep doctor this morning, it was a good visit and I don't have to go back for another year. But I forgot to put the SD card back in my CPAP Machine from the last visit and I had to order a new one today. Brain Fog is a major issue, and one I struggle to overcome daily.

    @gjaholy33 This is my opinion only, each person has to do what works for them. My goal is to never get fat again, and if I don't put in the work learning what healthy portions are and what foods are healthy to eat then why bother with MFP in the first place. It's about eating right 99% of the time, with conscience planned breaks and then back at it again right away (but only after I reach maintenance but I will get to eat more calories then, I hope). But some of us, like me cannot over indulge, not even in the slightest right now because I don't trust myself to stop. I'm learning a lot every day. My diet does not vary a lot and I'm ok with that, but it does have flavor. If I'm really hungry I eat more squash noodles with shrimp. It's hard to get in enough calories on those days. I've learned to just drink more iced tea / water when I've reached my calorie goal but I'm still hungry. Before I would have just eaten however many cookies I wanted. Cookies, Butter and Cheese are not healthy for me and they never will be. I don't want this to be "just another diet". But only time will tell, I'd like to see myself 3-5 years from now. Will I always have to weigh and measure? I know how I failed with WW, and I know how I failed at Low Carb. I don't want to fail at Counting Calories too.

    Exercise: Yes, weightlifting 45 minutes, Fitmas - 25 minutes (sigh), walking 1 mile

    Daily Post Thursday

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes, Idk how to be honest, I thought I overate but did make better choices, so I guess it worked out, I was like 8 calories over what I'd wanted to be but far under where I had to be, so we're going to take the win
    Exercise: Yes, 2 miles walking, fitmas 25 minutes

    Comments: Welp, these fitmas challenges are kicking my butt. I'm recording them, they're going to wind up as a youtube video for my channel when they're all finished. I'm getting back into sharing my journey on youtube again, hoping that it helps me stay motivated and focused but someday, more importantly, I hope it helps someone else. If anyone is interested I'll share that here but I don't want to "advertise" per se, but it's my idea that someday it could help others.
