Going to take some inspiration from @kosseychick
For Today:- Stay within budget, don't eat after 8pm.
- Couch to 5k Week 2 Day 3 (done!)
- 8,000+ steps
- Retire the majority of my 4x shirts / larger pants in closet, box them up and bring them up to the attic.
Why not send the clothes to charity? After all you're not going to need them again are you....?2 -
That's exactly what I did last time and it was pretty costly to replace. I'm going to give it a little time so I feel more confident, then do that.3

I ebayed all mine and spent the proceeds in the sales. I try not to pay full price for anything at the moment as I'm hoping not to fit them for very long.1 -
@Jackie9003 I'm actually going to donate my gently used clothes .. last time I went through my closets I donated several bags of clothes and 1 bag of shoes to the Salvation Army..1

That's great!
I did give some of my first batch to charity, bigger clothes always seem in short supply.

Yesterday I did go to the pool, kept under my calorie goals and went through my closet.. got a garbage bags worth to give away👍. It was like Christmas in there, loads of clothes I forgot I had! Lol
Worked in my CBT Workbook
Today's goals:
1/2 hr walk and some weights
Stay within my calories
Work in my yard
Finish off the painting on my deck😊1 -
@NovusDies --- not 1800 now. With regular fasting I am now at 2000 cal/day, sometimes more. Now entering third week of this, down 3.5lbs and lost an inch off my waist last week. So, more calories, better weight loss. Whodathunkit?0

@jim_pipkin
Not really that surprising. I believe you were putting your body under a fair amount of stress which increases your cortisol and that increases your water retention. Reducing that stress would release that water.
I wish I could talk you out of fasting 2 days a week and taking it even easier on yourself. The weight will come off you just by your calorie deficit. In 4 days I will have been meticulously tracking my results for a full year in my soon-to-be-infamous spreadsheet. At the time I started it I had already lost over 80 pounds but since Aug 24 of last year I have lost another 126 pounds which I have watched disappear 3500 calories at a time. Very often I had to wait for 3 weeks to see the new low weight but it always showed up and continues to show up.6 -
@NovusDies I'm not fasting just for weight loss, but for all of the other benefits as well. I've already noticed a difference to my control level around food. Discovered from several sources that fasting is not just about fat loss, but many other things - controlling blood pressure and blood sugar among others.0

The blood sugar benefit is only for people with insulin resistance. If your blood pressure can improve it will do so with weight loss all by itself. Much of the information online is taken from rat studies and anecdotes. Other than helping people with insulin resistance all of the human studies have come back with zero measurable benefits.
However, if you think it is providing a mental benefit you have to do you. I really don't like how hard you are on yourself. Have you tried just fasting one day a week and see if your control slips at all?1 -
I have lots of biking goals, I know, but! the weather tomorrow is looking a little cooler (mid 70s), so my goal is to do a 12 mile ride home. must remember to bring water.
also, headed to a concert tomorrow night, so my goal is dinner at home beforehand and only one drink at the show.1 -
My husband and step daughter are away for a couple of days so I've been up since 5.30am.
My goals today are to bake a birthday cake for my husband's birthday tomorrow, and not be tempted to graze on the decorations and off cuts. And to stay within my allowance despite being up soooo early.3 -

I had a bit of a busy day at work yesterday so didn't get around to updating here or setting some goals for yesterday, in fact had a bit of a *kitten* it day.
On Monday I did get my steps in, I logged accurately and I got rid of some of the electrical goods but didn't get around to clearing out the cables.
Today's Goals (Weds 21st August)

> No phone after 10pm (excl. work calls)
> Accurate Logging
> Go for a walk at lunchtime if not raining
> Clear out cables.

1) Navigate my day/routine with people here at the house working - going to be tough
2) 6000 steps
3) Try to hit my calorie goal fairly closely since I was so far under yesterday
One of the items on my pre-surgery list was to get the outside flood lights fixed so when my wife takes over the primary dog duties during recovery it will be easier on her at night. It will obviously make it easier on me too and with winter and the time change coming it was going to be a priority in October regardless but probably best to get it done now.
I am hoping they won't take too long. With less calories I really count on my routine and it will be heavily disrupted today.3 -
I'm hosting a party tonight and my son and I are making my favorite dessert. My goal is to eat maintenance today and limit calories from alcohol. My other goals are to have a ton of fun since my youngest moves into the dorms on Saturday. I don't want to waste time being nervous about eating too much or being upset that I did.5

I've got a friend coming over and she is going to help me with some gardening and yardwork.. in turn I'm going to make her a yummy yet healthy supper😊. If I'm busy I will stay under my days calories. I went over a bit yesterday evening because I was just sitting around watching TV. I know I cant do that or I get snacky.2

Slightly under steps and didn't remember to make the appointment. I'll do that now instead
No major goals today other than staying within my budget.
