Not bad at all!

Is there a limit to how many times you can edit a post? I'm confused. The edit button was there a second ago....

Busy day so far. I think one of my alarms didnt go off because in a blink it was a whole hour and a half later. Had to rush a shower and get out a door for a coffee date. But it was all good. Yesterday was good eatin'. This morning i did my weighin for both WW and a small local weightloss contest. Everything is looking…

Ahhh, why do i not come here everyday? So much more to read if i skip. Yesterday was nice! I slept through breakfast tho, so i had to work to hit my points.I think my circadian rhythm is shifting later. But i'm okay with that. If it's meant to shift back it will. I ate a bunch before bed again tho. I actually cant tell if…

Today was a great day! Yesterday dieting went good. It was tough at times. Got very sleepy and lethargic. I shoulda found more time for napping. Today i made sure to rest when i got home around sundown. Today i also made sure to keep on top of my points! Sometimes i get so obsessed with keeping my consumption total low,…

Yesterday was a bit rough because i blew through my points really quickly. A Starbucks coffee cake is 16! And i only have something like 23 a day. I didnt even want the coffee cake that bad; i only had it cause my bfast was light and i was out doing errands and running low on energy. I blew most of the rest on chocolate…

@mytime6630 I just saw that WW has *another* sale! :hushed: This time its three months free + a free bluetooth smart scale. :hushed: :hushed: Is Weight Watchers okay? :# :p

Happy new year. I officially started WW friday. I have no idea how this is gonna go, but i'm journaling everything. So far its been easy (as all diets are in the beginning) and fun. I like that whenever i'm hungry, no matter how many points i spent during the day, i can have as much zero-point foods as i want. Focusing on…

I was hungry until late last night too but i'm thinking its because i'm staying up later and need less sleep now that i caught up (went to sleep around 1 PM, got up around 8 PM). But it might also be because i'm eating so little fat, and fat burns for a long time. My other option in the future is switching out my last meal…

Ah. So it's 10$ a month for ten months (100$). Thats a bit long of a committment for me. But they also have 15$ a month for three months (45$), and then ofc you can do just one month but you have to pay the starter fee of 20$ for a total of 43$. So theres basically no point in doing the one month commit, even if you stop…

Woaah thats very exciting and cool. Thanks for the heads up! I think i'll try it.

Okay, so maybe being "refreshed" doesnt mean i have an easy time getting up. Even tho yesteraday i didnt do much and i didnt go to bed super late or ate past 8 PM, i slept real funny and woke up bleehhh. But i also was rather hungry last night. Maybe it has to do with my chocolate intake? I can never tell if i get addicted…

Yesterday was okay. Lost of energy. Lots of stuff being done. Maybe too much computer. I had an unexpectedly long call with the hubby. Spending so much time with myself has painted a clearer picture of how anxious i get talking, even when its my husband, and how easily i get distracted by others (lack of self control). I…

Lmao does it filter the f-word to "kitten"? That's amazing. I wonder what other filters there are.

First off, MyFitnessPal recently told me that i have been promoted to "Member". Anyone know what that means? And now, for my usual post.... Yestermorning and this morning have been unintentionally silly. Yestermorning i ate a satisfying breakfast of which you can see in my last post as well as the regrettable turkey. I…

Yesterday i did a thorough job of eating low fat. I had cereal and nonfat milk, edamame, mandarin slices (and a bit of turkey i regretted) for breakfast. For dinner i wasnt very hungry, so i had vegetables and fish and soba noodles. At night i had more milk, strawberry gummies (i think theyre by welches) and something…

Good morning yall. Last night was fitfull sleep. A change from the night before, when i went to bed early and slept well. I was just as hungry around 8 PM as last time. I dont know what was different. Even at 12 PM, i felt too stressed to sleep. I felt strange these last two night too. Both hot and cold at the same time.…

Its currently 8 PM, which is the cut-off i decided for eating. Im hungry, unsurprisingly. Ive been eating a lot late at night. Part of me, an emotional part, is worried i wont be able to sleep. But i know from experience and from science that isnt true. I will be okay. Posting this here right now so it clicks in my head…

Whew its been a while. A little too long; i'm struggling to remember all that happened. So for now i will say what's been on my mind recently. Although ive known that my sleep hasnt been great, i havent seriously considered that i have not been getting *enough* sleep until today. I read an excellent article by Healthline…

Diet has been successfull. I have been easing myself back into it. I feel better than i expected i would. Thoroughly chewing my food seems to be helping. I stuffed myself a bit last night on schwarma, veggies, and hummus, which felt a little bad at first, but then later that night i felt very well, unusually well, like my…

I forget what i broke my very short fast with, but after deciding its best to do whats tested and true and to not overthinking (thanks, nap), i finished the day following an old diet i used with great success. Mostly. I'm easing myself into it. I'm hoping the extra protein (if any) will help with my ankle injury and…

I had only a little bit of coffee yesterday. I didnt feel drowsy most of the day, but i did overeat for lunch. Took a long nap afterwards, woke up feeling crappy. Dinner was smaller, late at night, and surprisingly unsatisfying. It was just a sandwich, but something about it was off. Maybe too rich? I feel like i live in a…

Yesterday i may have drank too much caffeine. Very productive day but was quite ill by 5pm. Awful nausea. Antacids seemed to help. Glad i had time for a nap before the rest of my day. Sleep was very fraught. Didnt help that i panick-ate (something im prone to do when highly aroused late at night) which fueled the belief i…

Forgot to add! Ive been treating my trigger points (massaging, stretching) twice a day. I think its been helping my muscle recovery and efficiency. But i am sore a lot! I dont mind too much, but i have put off going to the gym because of it. I have sooo many trigger points, and the ones on my back are very bad. I get why…

So its been a bit longer than i projected, but im here to update. Some thoughts so far: If the pros of caffeine are unlocking my energy and stabilizing my appetite, the con is being numb to tiredness. I briefly experimented with alternating caffeine+activity days with non-caffeine+rest days, but it wasnt sustainable (didnt…

Early update. I felt awful last night. I think ive been either having too much caffeine, or not enough rest. I do remember making myself have some black tea just to perk myself up, but i wasnt "hungry" for it and it didnt even perk me up much. But regardless the fact is that, if im consuming caffeine, i am disconnected…

I have a bit of a weird challenge.... Context: Ive been trying to trim up for years now. I had an easy time going from a 27.9 BMI to 22.7. All i did was cut out starches and ate as much as i want. Now that's stopped working, but i still have ten pounds left. I had success with calorie counting but it killed my energy and i…
