    Calories and proteins good for the day but carbs were slightly higher than normal due to higher vegetable consumption. I won’t complain about that.

    Close watch rings ✅ my energy is flagging in the afternoons so I wonder if I should have a small snack to help versus copious amounts of caffeine.

    Carbs and protein just okay for the day. Protein was under 100g and carbs were up because of a big salad and some popcorn.

    Excited to weigh in but I’ve been having sugar cravings I’ve avoided so far. Fingers crossed it stays that way over the weekend.

    January Goals:
    Start weight, January 1, 2021: 178.5
    Current weight: 175.4

    ❌ 1. Min. of 25k steps on weekends/days off. No. It didn't get out of the 20's today and with the wind it was just too cold for me to walk. It's definitely harder to get 25k in steps if I don't go for one of my long walks outdoors!
    ❌ 2. <40g carbs today? Only over by 15g. today.
    ✅ 3. Gluten Free today?
    ✅ 4. 60+ mins exercise: I walked 30 mins on the treadmill at 3.8 mph :smiley: and another 30 mins at 3.0. I also did 20 mins on the rebounder, and 90 mins giving massages.
    ❌ 5. Minimum of 500 leftover exercise calories. I had 226 calories leftover today.
    ❌ 6. Eat 3 servings of vegetables.. 1 serving today :neutral:

    For next week, I'm going to take eating GF off of my daily list as I'm pretty consistent at getting this goal every day. I want to work harder on getting 3 servings of veggies every day and to work harder at ending each day with an excess of leftover (exercise) calories of 500 everyday.

    Calories, carbs and close the watch rings 😀
    Protein was a little under goal. It has been the last couple of days as I’ve wanted salads but they just irritate my system. I’ll try to go heavy protein tomorrow to see if that helps.

    A cold front swept through and has kept me from enjoying outdoor walks and on the treadmill instead. Looking forward to any kind of warm up to move back outside if only for a day or two a week.

    4) Qi Gong ❌ S
    5) Water - 27oz 💧

    A lot of gadding about - had to drop my old laptop off for it to be cloned over to a new one, and then had to schlep back to pick it up. Drives me nuts how as soon as there is a little bit of sun the inhabitants are out and about as if there is no pandemic. Traffic was horrific to get in and out and I was mightily relieved to be back home.

    Lots of batch cooking planned for today and one last grocery shop next Sunday to get me through three weeks of working Australian hours.

    I'm here! :lol:

    So long since I updated properly that I don't even remember what I said I was going to do...

    Food has all been fine, walks/steps have been variable, yoga and bike riding have no happened.

    Started diet break yesterday, though it was a fail and I was a couple of hundred cals under maintenance. For today, I've scaled up the things that are both calorie dense and nutrient dense (seeds) through the day, and scaled back the veg volume for dinner, plus shifted timing around a little (though yesterday was more running late on having smoothies, which had a flow on effect to not being hungry at dinner time and it being a massive struggle to get through even my pared back meal).

    I knew I wasn't going to be getting up and doing Qi Gong but while I successfully moulded my backside to the sofa for a well earned day of watching films... my water intake was ATROCIOUS! Bad Rozzington Bear!

    Calories, carbs, protein and closing watch rings 😁. Good day for meeting goals but I’ve been feeling lately like nothing sounds good so I’m picking at random things to eat. Not a bad thing I suppose but maybe some advanced planning would help. I’d like to say I’m not hungry but that isn’t the case.

    I was wondering last week where everyone went. Hopefully they are off living their best low carb lives and don’t feel the need to check in.

    Today was a REST DAY for me, but I did stay under my calorie goal! I also stayed at my 20carb limit for my REST DAY, so I'm happy about that!
