No bloating, I just ate too much and moved too little
Luckily, this week is finally (!!) a normal workweek, so it should be easier to keep the routine schedule.
As for my goals:
1. Didn't get it, only 55K, so 15K short
2. Didn't get it either, I barely ate at a deficit this week
3. This one I did do, luckily !!
So all in all, not doing well, but this is a new and better week! Let's crush this !3 -
BMI: 22
MEASUREMENTS
Stomach: 82cm (32,82") -> 83cm (32,68) ^up 1cm (.5") last month
Waist: 75cm (29,53") - no movement last month
Belly/Upperhip: 90cm (35,43") - no movement last month
Hips: 99cm (38,98") - no movement last month
Thighs: 58cm (22,83") -> ^up 1cm (.5") last month (up 2cm (1") since November)
GOALS
#1 Still working on that actual pull-up/chin-up. I definitely feel I've become stronger yet the full range movement is still (way) out of reach.
#2 Get back down to my "stable" weight of 66.x kg
#3 Do IF more conscientiously; I've often ended too soon at 13 or 14 hours instead of the minimum 16.
2 Jan - 68,7kg (151,46lbs)...
6 Jan - 68kg (149,91lbs), 7day average
13 Jan - 67,8kg (149,47lbs), 7 day average
Well, barely any result last week but I didn't do well with food either so not a surprise. At least IF has been back on track and I'm starting a 48h fast today. It's high time for a firm sugar-craving-reset!

14 do you do "slow cadence" negative chin/pull ups? They are the one move I found useful in achieving positives chin/ pull ups. I also recommend watching Athlean X tutorial videos on Youtube. Good luck!2 -

1/2 - Oh joy - I've been putting off forcing myself to get back the groove...but seeing 150 on the scale this morning was a wake up call. Kicked the day off with Fast till lunch and brought a decent one with me to work. Been fighting a cold and just not giving a damn. So - I'm grateful for this group and it's baby steps today. No sugar and get intake under control. Off at 3 to go video horses - been fighting lots of deadlines & stress - it's been tough to get much exercise.
1/3 - 148.8 - no workout yesterday, but did well on cals & stuck to no sugar. Working on the same things today.
1/6 - 149.2 - Sat was great, super busy and did well on food.... Sunday - was stuck watching a volleyball tournament for most of the day and they over did it at dinner. Back at it today.
/17 - 149.0 - Did well on eating - IF in the A.M. and under my 1420 for the day. Working to get back in the habit of logging every.single.bite. Pretty stationary day Worked thru lunch and appointment afterward... I'm shooting to get to workout Wed-Sun. Life is insane at the moment....but I can concentrate on intake- that's always doable.
1/8 - Running late this morning and forgot to weigh.. Yesterday I took my 96yo Gram to dinner, fortunately she chose a French place so I did stay under on my cals - but no workout. On another note - we bought her one of the digital skylight frames and I HIGHLY recommend it. Super easy to set up last night and our entire family has been emailing pictures to it. She doesn't have to do a thing and LOVES it. She can't see the pictures very well on her phone when we send them and refuses to touch a computer - this frame is fabulous. IF this morning, I'm starving but there's no junk food at work so I'll make it.
1/9 - 148.0 - Did decent on cals, did have a big ol cake donut - but stayed under on cals. Finally got to spend a few hours outdoors after work, felt like a new person. I'm not made for winter or indoor days. UGH! IF this morning... and no sweets today!
1/10 - 147.2 - Did really well on food 1412 - and got an hour outdoors to ride yesterday.
1/13 - 147.2 - Happy Monday.. insanely busy wknd, got in 20k steps yesterday just doing barn chores. I didn't try to log food, but did manage NO SWEETS all wknd!5 -
@cayenne_007 nicely done on resisting sweets!
@Antiopelle YES! Im glad we're in the same boat; this week HAS to go great
@PearlGrey Yeah, I did isometric holds, negative chin-up, and scapular pull-up (which is just a fancy way of saying a tiny pull-up movement). I now replaced the isometric hold with assisted chin-ups. The rest of my workout routine is also targeted at the muscles necessary for a pull-up: inverted rows, barbell row, dumbbell pull,... The route for me to achieve an actual pull-up seems to be insanely long....3 -
@I4a_p and @Antiopelle
I sucked it up and did the initial test for the push up challenge today - I rather want to cry because I've lost so much strength. All I can manage currently is 10, 10, 5....and then I had to go to my knees to do 10 more. BUT - it's day 1, week 1. There's no way I'll complete it in their time frame so my goal is to complete it this year.
AND today I learned the difference in a pull up and a chin up.... weirdly enough, I don't think I can do a chin up.5 -

HW: 76.1 kg / 168 lbs (26/Aug/19)
GW Jan: 70 kg / 154 lbs
Overall GW: 57.5 kg / 127 lbs
Monthly average –> Sep: 73.6 kg / Oct: 73.0 kg / Nov: 72.5 kg / Dec: 71.6 kg
Goal #1: Get back into a “normal” rhythm after the holidays, for food and sports.
Goal #2: Log more regularly (except weekends, still can’t be bothered).
Goal #3: Keep taking more time and space for myself.
01-jan: 71.2 kg (7-day average: 71.6 kg)

13-jan: 71.6 kg (7-day average: 71.4 kg)
14-jan: 71.1 kg (7-day average: 71.4 kg)
So, after two weeks of struggling and not posting here a bit of catching up. Took me AGES to find back into a rhythm after the holidays and I'm still not fully back. With TOM on top of it all earlier this month, the return to "normal" sleeping and office hours just left me feeling like an old sneaker in the corner; just meh. Result: PLEASE gimme that chocolate! Of course my mouth got what the belly was asking for. Pffff. Time to amp up the game again. Fortunately the sports schedule is also returning to normal. Will help with burning off some of last week's munchies.
One set of good news: I already achieved the first of my sporty goals this year: level up for the running class Am now a Level 2 runner instead of a Level 1 jogger, hehehhe. Well, first training with the new group will only be tonight so I shouldn't be too happy about it yet. I can already sense the soreness tomorrow morning. But it was a nice reward last week to receive the invitation after a day that saw a particularly big amount of chocolate disappear.
Anyway, anyone else having issues finding back their groove? Somehow I feel that returning from the Xmas break is more difficult than coming back from other holidays. With the darkness/short days and after all the December foods, present hunting, family/friends/colleague celebrations,... It's strange to go from full happy-go-merry-energy to full "normal".5 -

Reading you guys exchanging updates on this is making me want to try as well! I think I'll give this test a chance later.1 -

Good to hear from you @jacau ! I was wondering where you were.
So no panic, we are a few here who are in the same place as you, and we are having a go to a turnaround this week, with positive news next Monday, whether it is a SV or NSV (or a start with the PU challenge )

@jacau Yup I'm struggling to find my way again too! I think it's also because no matter what I promise myself, I do let it slide during the holidays and then being confronted in January with weight you have to lose again is just so demotivating. But from what I can tell, you're on the right track again!
@cayenne_007 I'm pretty sure if you can do a pull-up, you can do a chin-up! They are the easier variant.
Minor weigh-in (I usually only do once a week but want to share): 66,8kg (147,27lbs) this morning again! Which is -1kg compared to yesterday. Now I'm very aware that it's not all real (also since I'm 18h into the fast atm) but still I was happy to see the number.5
