Have a great day!!
Here is an NSV with an important insight. When you focus on intense exercise and strength, do not expect to see the scale go down. You are building healthy fat-burning muscle.
@lalabank posted, "All of my victories are not related to my scale (which is mocking me lately). My muscles are becoming more defined. I think it’s a victory for me that I’m genuinely feeling a separation from my scale number. I weigh every day but my focus is really moving towards fitness goals. After being so focused on losing numbers it’s taking time to shift my emotions away from the scale. I still have some long term scale numbers in mind but it’s a secondary goal."
Now that is a Non-Scale-Victory to celebrate!!

Tried to post this morning and hit done instead of post so it disappeared. That button is horrible!
As good as my pass day is good my emotional wellbeing, I need to be more selective in what treats I have. I slept badly, woke up with reflux and my run was mostly a walk with my heart rate high and my asthma interfering. It was not fun.
I then stopped at work to look after my giant puppy and meet the newest one, before heading to church. I was adopted as the favourite by our youth pastor's eldest who wouldn't even let me leave but wrapped herself around my leg. She's 5 and adorable!
After a healthy lunch I did a bunch of meal prep and admin for the week. Might go to church with my house mate tonight, or stay in Reading.
Ready for a good week!9 -
@Dory_42 completely agree - the done button is the worst!! I click it all the time in error. Ugh!
Hope you have a great week after all your hard work prepping!! I find it helpful to plan meals in advance too.2 -
Exercise: Yes. Walked to see a friend's Indian Dance and Storytelling show, really good, then to the cinema and back to see a wonderful Indian film, all about food! Luckily it was 11pm already when I got back, or I would have been tempted to start cooking and eating. Had a sugar free organic peanutbutter sandwich instead, on rye bread .... Well, yes ...
Calories: Stayed under, even with the sandwich.
Tracking: Yes, logged everything.4 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, a dog walk and second longer walk for myself. I'm trying to work on my stamina and increase my speed.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, well under. I was interested in the comments @Impala007 made about his improved bloodwork because of intermittent fasting, so I'm going to run an experiment to see if fasting improves mine over time (my window for eating will be between noon and 8:00 p;m.)
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

Yes x 3 - Exercise was over the top for me: Walking throughout the day plus yoga and swimming. Food and tracking were a bit of a guess as I didn't do the cooking, but yes. Fun trip but it's good to be back home!3

Haven’t posted in a few days. Congrats to all for the NSVs. It’s very nice to see all the positivity and inspiration.
I’ve been doing ok. Took another pass day on Friday. I went dancing until 7am 😱. I did get my exercise in but it didn’t offset the drinks. It was a great fun evening though. Totally worth it. I’ve stopped counting my pass days for the months. There are many. But they are still better than if I was not paying attention at all!
Yesterday was ok given the lack of sleep. I ate well and ran some errands in my bike.
Today, I woke up bright and early for an organized 50km bike ride along the coast. It’s awesome not to have to worry about cars on events :-). It was chilly though, I thought my toes could fall off at one point. I got to get some better winter riding gear. Ate healthy and within my calories.
Hope you all had a fantastic Sunday!4 -
