    100 days of 2020 goals

    1) 15 pound loss (This will bring me to 149)
    2) Yoga 3 times a week (I REALLY need this for my sanity)
    3) Create one new dish weekly (Burned out with the same old menu)

    Thanks for the inspiration! Great idea!

    @kilobykilo I did, thanks! Today I already got some walking and moving around at work. My office is moving next week and we visited the new location. It's just under a mile from our current office, so we walked both ways. There's already some furniture in the new office, so we moved the stuff to "correct" places.

    PW. 131.6
    CW 132.4

    Amazingly enough yesterday I was at 131.2? How did I gain 1.2 pds in 1 day? I worked out 40 min., hiked 2 miles and did a 5 min hiit routine AND I watched what I ate and didn't over eat. ๐Ÿ˜  Really thought I was getting somewhere....Ugh.

    You didnโ€™t gain a pound overnight...
    I bet #7 applies. Your muscles are retaining water from the intense workout.

    I did not do a food photo today, but did check my boxes.

    Today was my daughters birthday. She wanted dominos pizza (low maintenance...)

    I did well on my calories today and had 3 pieces for dinner. Omg I am miserable now! What was I thinking? I bet I have tummy issues tomorrow ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

    Wahhhhhh yesterday I was working from home and started at around 7.30 and didnt finish until after 9..... roll on next weekend when all will be calmer, I hope!

    I did squeeze in a lunchtime workout.... i didnt leave my small flat so did few more than 3000 steps.

    I didnt log, but ate pretty well as not much other option in the house!
    Back to the office today and back on it.....

    although I do need to pop out to buy lunch, not good! But, i can do it!

    We made it to Friday everyone!

    I think I need to make shorter-term goals, daily/weekly commitments. Since my life is now a floating mess without timelines or schedules compared to pre-covid, I struggle. I realized today a big part of the struggle is the lack of schedule - in my old life I had to make a plan and stick to it, because there was no option. Lately I've been failing at setting my intentions as a scheduled plan, so they just kinda float in the air and then I disappoint myself because they didn't happen. Now that I have the option of going to the gym or on a run whenever I want and there's always tomorrow and no conflicting commitment stopping me from going tomorrow, I don't make the effort of going today.

    So, I have to make shorter and more concrete goals. It's lunchtime now and I'm eating my salad (yay!). Next I have a personal training session, and tonight I'll have a healthyish dinner. Tonight is for rest after a difficult week, tomorrow I will weigh in and schedule my plan further.

    I have been drinking more than usual lately, just stress of life. I tried to fit it in my calories the best I could but the last two days have been hard. I am looking forward to a better week.

    @Beka3695 How long is your IF, can I have 1 cup coffee with 1/2 n 1/2 or does it have to be just coffee. Like to try this but don't know how to start and how long to IF. Advice

    I end my window at noon... I donโ€™t have a strict start time, but I very rarely eat after 7 pm.

    I call what I do โ€œmodifiedโ€ IF because I have coffee with cream or maybe a protein latte. I use MIF as a calorie control method only. This is the only concrete reason I have found. All other โ€œbenefitsโ€ are subjective.


    Once I put solid food in my mouth, I will have the tendency to eat more. If I can put this off a few hours then I have calories in the bank for later ๐Ÿ˜Š

    @Beka3695 Thank you, with going back to the Office Oct 5, I think this is quite doable. Pack a lighter lunch, small afternoon snack. I think the key is not eating after 7 or 8. We have a tendency to eat later so I think dinner 7:30 and nothing more till lunch the next day. I have seen a lot of people do really well with this and losing weight. Thanks, you are doing amazing.

    I do IF naturally. I'm never hungry when I wake up. I do have 3-4 cups of coffee with a protein shake as my creamer/sweetener. My first meal is usually about noonish and I don't eat after 7pm. You can do whatever works for you! There is no right or wrong as long as it leads to you being successful with your goals :)
