Oh my goodness WHAT A DAY! Started out with call 911 to get an escort carry down since my elevator is out. Missed my pain management appt due to my transportation not picking me up from the dentist in a timely fashion, where I found out I had 10 cavities (this is what happens when you don't go to the dentist for 3 years and you ground your teeth constantly) My brand new Walker of only 3 months wheel broke. But thank God the elevator was working by the time I reach home. Oh and my Aide try to entice me with chicken wings at 11 in the morning but I was good and said no I am having my own healthy chicken tenders made with herb seasoning and cornmeal when I get home for dinner So yeah the enemy was really trying me today but above all I Managed to stay positive.

I'm exhausted and stressed just reading about your day! But you made it though! And you tracked and still managed to stay below your calories despite all that stress. Way to go! Hope your back is feeling better! Sorry to hear about the cavities!1 -
Daily Post: Saturday
✅Track: yes
✅Calories: below
✅Exercise: Jogged 10.6 miles
Comments:
Due to my new experiment with 16/8 IF I decided to do my Saturday long run in a fasted state. I didn't expect it to go in my favor, but I wanted to see how I would feel unfueled vs fueled. Part of why I run longer distances is I enjoy the flexibility it gives me as far as food goes. Normally I will eat under 70 grams of carbs per day which is relatively low carb and fits my macros of 15% carbs, 60% fat and 25% protein. On the night before a long run I will sometimes eat a simple carb to help fuel my morning run. This week I Didn't. So Saturday I woke up feeling very hungry, but my energy was good. I didn't have my keto cofffe which I normally have to start my mornings, just black coffee. My run was brutal. I could feel it around mile 2. Normally this is where my energy starts building and The music gets me pumped and I'm just excited and happy to be running. Saturday at mile two I was like...OMG....I forgot the first half of this run is uphill. And I just felt (and was) slow. I had planned on going 11 miles but only managed 10.6. I have a very strong will. Normally I would have pushed through to get that 11th mile, but I think not fueling at all in the morning really affected my run. So at least now I know. No more fasted long runs!! Next week I will experiment with fueling at the 3/4 of my run to see if it gives me a little boost.1 -

🌟Daily Post: Saturday, 7 September
✅Track: Yes
✅Calories: Under
✅Exercise: Plenty of walking
💬Comments: Today my niece and I are going shopping and we will probably grab something to eat at McDonalds. Prior to losing weight I’d go for a large Big Mac Meal with Coke but I won’t be having that today. I used the McDonald’s nutrition calculator so that I can plan ahead, and I’ll be getting a grilled chicken garlic mayo wrap with small fries. It adds up to 500ish calories and I’ll have a Diet Coke with it too.
Whilst checking out the McDonald’s nutritional info, I was surprised to find that a large Big Mac meal with coke (which was always my go-to) contains 1122 calories!

Yes I agree, I had dropped out of tracking - I usually do this when I overeat but I should still track - today’s a new day!. I would struggle if I didn’t eat when I get up, even if it’s just some fruit and yoghurt - so I would find it hard to do 16:8. I just need to be able to get into a better eating habit
@Rigibann You can adjust that window to suit your need, like eating in the morning and not the evening, that's how I do it. I eat around 9am and stop by 2 or 3 in the afternoon, really works with my work schedule and my morning routines, that window can be any time of the day (or night if you worked nights for example.) Most people just choose mornings as the not eating window and there are a lot of benefits to doing that but not everyone does that as it doesn't necessarily work for everyone.1 -

Exercise: Yes (housework)
Comments: My apologies for not posting yesterday. I had a very busy day and was exhausted and completely forgot to post. However, I was tracking what I ate. I stayed under my calories, and did a tremendous amount of work around the house (we are remodeling one of the bedrooms to move our son into the bigger room). It’s a lot of work but he is so excited with anticipation.
I guess I have been more conscious than I thought I was being about what I ate because when I weighed myself, I had to do it three times because I couldn’t believe it, 8lbs? Might be water weight, not sure but regardless it’s motivating. I always drink and only drink water more than 64oz a day. I have been more conscious of portion sizes too. I’m super excited about this. Now I have to continue to find some Achilles friendly exercises so I can continue to see progress.

🌟NSV🌟 Due to the loose and sagging skin I had once I reached my (initial) goal weight of 143, I decided to go into maintenance for a few months. Yesterday I noticed that the skin on my inner thighs has noticeably improved. I'm SO happy and I hope it was not an optical illusion! I also hope in time the other parts of my body and skin will tighten up too.
