spent so long packing I decided to do this low impact workout again vs the thing I had planned. Doubt the people downstairs want to hear me stomp around at 10pm

side planks and similar... I have hypermobility issues and sensitive wrists, there's no way for me to put most of my weight on 1 wrist uness I want to be in pain

I'm also moving out this weekend, which means living in the upper floor of an apartment building and no more high impact/jumping exercise for me ;_;

I might take today off, I kinda loaded up on carb-y/salty food because my blood pressure apparently wants to hover in the 90ish/50ish range which makes me feel super iffy (happens. it's usually OK, but I'm not gonna push myself if I'm genuinely not feeling well)

today... was a bad day for working out - my blood pressure's been low so I'm not feeling great

breakfast: grapes and a small chocolate protein shake lunch: a serving of lasagna (by weight should be 485kcal), a small dark beer snack: apple and coffee with milk dinner: salad (lettuce, tomato, some beans, yogurt dressing) and a slice of corn bread kcal: 1,594

breakfast: just coffee with milk and a tsp of sugar lunch: home made pizza with prosciutto, low fat cheese, bell peppers and tomatoes & a small salad (spinach, a few tbs of beans and light dressing) dinner: a protein bar, 1 egg, coffee with milk, and then I basically ate the leftover tomatoes with just a tiny bit of salt…

I've had this happen when I skipped meals (like skipping breakfast) or if I just wasn't eating and drinking enough to support my activity. Not saying this is 100% the issue but your exact diet (IF and low carb) is basically what made MY dizzy spells much worse/more frequent when I gave it a try. Making slight adjustments…

I'm exhausted (didn't sleep well and was up early), I'm probably way above maintenance today - but, I got a job and went out for lunch and cake with family. Been unemployed for a while so this is a big deal Still, did get through this shorter workout today https://youtu.be/_r3AAdEFVNM

breakfast: vanilla protein shake and an apple lunch: grilled cheese sandwich and some grapes dinner: tomato and chicken salad with yogurt dressing, one bottle of apple cider kcal: 1699

no youtube workout yesterday because I went for a short hike with my family and got home pretty late (and tired), this is my plan for today tho:

breakfast: small vanilla protein shake and some grapes lunch: lasagna (again, this is why I weigh my store bought food even though a package is meant to be x weight, portion is meant to be 524kcal, but going by weight my piece was 570kcal - not a huge difference but it adds up) snack: a small cup of red currant dinner: big…

I typically pre-log in the morning and then adjust as I go (while still aiming for the same-ish kcal goal)

A twix bar (ate one half one day, the other half next day with my coffee)

Some people (including me) can feel hungrier after working out - I will say tho that having 200kcal more can make a huge difference if you use them to add food that's lean protein or high in volume (and fibre) and low in kcal... I'll sometimes have huge salads for lunch and feel absolutely stuffed.. but they're only about…

breakfast: 1 egg and some cherry tomatoes lunch: store bought frozen pizza (ham) (supposed to be 675kcal but I weighed it and it was actually 745ish going by weight) snack: a cup of red currant and a banana dinner: salad (green beans, lettuce, tomatoes) with light mozzarella and yogurt dressing kcal: 1542

I like to do a variety of youtube workout videos - mostly cardio and dumbbells, but I'll occasionally do some yoga, pilates, or resistance bands stuff

breakfast: chocolate protein shake and 2 slices of french toast lunch: 2 eggs and vegetables (tomato, green pepper, onion) snack: a cup of mixed berries (frozen strawberries, raspberries, currant, blackberries) dinner: cherry tomatoes and light mozzarella with some yogurt dressing and a slice of corn bread kcal: 1690

taking a rest day today minus maybe a short yoga video, have had a persistent feeling of soreness/fatigue that yesterday's low impact workout didn't solve so.. yoga with adriene it is!

the one thing I've noticed is that if I don't sleep enough I end up feeling hungrier the next day so it can make me overeat (I'm in the "maintenance but wouldn't mind slowly dropping maybe another 4-5lbs" stage tho, personally)

I would strongly suggest investing in some adjustable dumbbells - I love mine, I started off with 2-5kg and I'm now up to mostly 8-13kg per hand (at 159cm and 57kg), nothing wrong with *starting* light but you'll want to add more weight to see any kinda change in shape/strength

I'm down 1-2lbs (depending on the day) so not much of a change, I've been MUCH more active though and have a lot more muscle definition

b: sataraš (cooked tomatoes, peppers and onion + some oil and spices) with 2 eggs and corn bread l: salad (cabbage, lettuce, beans, corn, light yogurt dressing) and falafel & a small beer d: chocolate protein shake, a banana and a bowl of berries (calories: around 1350)

Chicken thigh, it's not as dry (ok, it's also not as lean) as chicken breast, but I like the flavour more, depending on how I'm preparing it - typically we put it on a grill or I roast it in the oven with some nice garlic and rosemary potatoes and brussels sprouts. Also, turkey - I'll sometimes get it ground and make meat…

I weigh everything (apart from maybe lettuce, cucumber etc - which is unlikely to make my count more than 10kcal off), and also - the rate of weight loss that's sustainable/reasonable changes depending on how much you have left to lose, if you're close-ish to goal weight you could set your rate to 0.5 per week. But…

sataraš (cooked tomatoes, peppers and onion), 2 eggs and some corn bread (with a little bit of cheese and seeds on top apparently - got it from a bakery)
