Yeah we've always homeschooled as well. My oldest graduated in May so thank goodness I only have 3 to wrangle right now. I have to stay on my Junior's case b/c he gets distracted and draws things out, so I have to micromanage him a bit more than I would like, but he's improving.1 -

Under calories 👍🏻
Low carb/high protein 👍🏻
Another good day. Closed the watch rings and stayed busy. I’m dragging a bit getting back into my work routine and likely from cutting carbs. I ate a fairly light lunch and considered eating more but waited a bit and forgot about food. Nice change of pace!2 -

6 Jan:
I hit the wall with a thud this afternoon, so this one isn't flash (bad night's sleep mostly to blame, I think/hope)- Log, min 500 deficit, aim for 750 - yes, a little over 500
- Net carbs under 50, protein over 100 - yes (34) and yes (118).
- 5000 steps a day min (this is bumping from 3000, there may be bad days where I don't make it, but that's a given) - no, only just over 3000
- Min 30 min walk unless I'm too unwell - definite no
- 30 Days of Yoga - Not even the energy for a gentle practice
- Start riding my bike again - nope.
- Soft weight loss goal of 2kg - I'll be doing diet break starting late in the month, so will have some gain from refilling glycogen stores
- Diet break!!! Two weeks of summer fruit. - start Jan 24
Tomorrow is another day...
Oh! I have now lost 10% of my starting weight, and am a third of the way to goalSlim by Spring, I shall be.
4 - Log, min 500 deficit, aim for 750 - yes, a little over 500
