    Track yes
    Calories yes under
    Exercise no rest day over did it a little my knees and back is killing me besides my stupid shoulder pain

    Goals/comments
    Feeling extra stress over family members but spoke to this individual this morning and am excluding them from my circle right now. I am already in danger of binging again and don't need any toxicity to push me over the edge. Each day is hard for me as it is but by His grace which gives me the strength to stay positive so really do not need anyone to push me backwards.

    Daily check in: May 17

    Track: No
    Calories: saved my cals for dinner so think I did ok
    Exercise: Yes. My sis is visiting 😁 and we went for a 1.5 mile walk

    I made myself a b-day dinner, pulled pork and haluski and sautΓ©ed veggies. It was so good and enjoyed it a lot. Ice cream today instead of cake. Meals out too hoping I do ok. Not sure I’ll track today or tomorrow just plan on making good choices.

    Thanks for the tip Nancy, I will try 6:1 for the first week as I think it’ll ease me into it, and then switch to 5:2 after that. I know you’ll get your weekends under control again, you can do it πŸ‘Œ If you don’t mind me asking, what sort of weight loss did you see when you started IF? Was there much of a difference compared to what you were losing prior to starting IF? I’ve got a feeling these last 7lbs or so are going to be a bit stubborn, so I was thinking that 5:2 might just give them a nudge 😊

    I saw big losses (of about 1-3 lbs--not being able to lose anything beforehand) once I started 5:2--- and I got down to within 3 lbs. of my goal... if you follow it precisely, it will jog your metabolism and jolt the fat loss--- it really helps if you've hit a plateau too.

    I came across this quote and i love it! Some days we might fall of the wagon, over-indulge and feel like we’ve messed everything up. BUT that was yesterday...we just move on from it, forget about it and get right back on track!

    Track: mostly
    Calories: over
    Exercise: chores and a walk
    Water: about 130 oz

    I tracked everything except the small ice cream sundae after dinner.....
    And I was already over my calories when I had it.
    It was just one of those days..... and I did end up uncomfortably full. That wasn't fun. I never remember that feeling when I am eating, though!

    As you know I need more electrolytes and I finally found a product that I LIKE $20 for 90 servings

    i3m7hoqiacxe.jpg

    It doesn't have any after taste either like regular stevia products do. So I drink one water bottle (73oz) of these a day.

    A lot of the ready made drinks and electrolytes powder out there have sucalose, ASPARTAME or some other form of chemical contrived sweeteners that causes side affects.

    I AM STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS AND NEED TO FIND WHAT WORKS FOR ME.

    πŸ’¬Comments: Today was my first day of trying IF (6:1 to start with then moving to 5:2) and I think I done quite well for my first time. I had 3 smaller meals and some snacks, totalling approx 554 cals. I found it easier than I thought it would be and managed to fit it my oatmeal, fruit, veg, fish, popcorn & yoghurt!

    Track: Yes
    Calories under goal: No, over by 60 calories but I was way under yesterday
    Exercise: 6,200 steps

    My co-worker and I amended our step challenge agreement with each other. We initially agreed to walk 10k steps every day but we amended it to "average" 10k steps a day. That way we can take a small break on Sunday if we did well during the week. I really intended to walk 10,000 steps today but I slept half of the day .....I guess I needed it.
