It's a small loss, but it's a loss.... 7 days if focus ahead.... let's see what that brings!3 -
@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.2

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. 😠 Really thought I was getting somewhere....Ugh.2 -

You didn’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 🤦🏻♀️- Go for a walk. ✅✅✅✅✅

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!2 -
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.1 -

@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 don’t have a strict start time, but I very rarely eat after 7 pm.
I call what I do “modified” 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 “benefits” 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 😊

@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.0

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 1 -
Friday check in:
I skipped my walk today and my eating was not on point. I was still “green” but over my target amount. The sweet tooth struck and I had microwave s’mores.- Go for a walk. ✅✅✅✅✅❌

On a totally different subject - y’all know I’ve been out of work for the last 6 weeks or so. Out of the blue today I was offered an consulting job! It is just a one time thing - just 5 days. But I’m quite excited.
Another awesome thing - the company knows my situation. I have no professional clothing here and I took the job at 5:30 pm... I can wear khaki shorts and tee 😊 Also, since I keep the baby during the day, I’ll be working 4-9 pm!8
