I've done insanity fully 2x and partially or adjusted (aka I mixed it in with my other workouts vs doing insanity following the plan) another 2-3x, eating properly/enough was essential, and if I started with below ideal endurance I did end up taking 1 extra recovery day around the ends of weeks 1 and 2, I believe in…

today was pretty fun

I've decided to try some of her videos as they come out, since I've been doing so much fitness blender I need a bit of variety (nothing against fitness blender, mind you), it's a nice change

i did that same video, hah

I took yesterday off and was gonna work out today, but I ended up walking 5km in heels and my feet are killing me, I'm sticking to a 20 min yoga with adriene video, then going all out tomorrow

I soak chia seeds and oats in protein drinks (I honestly love my chocolate flavour lactose free protein milk - stuff ends up like a chocolate pudding if I leave it in the fridge overnight), I eat a lot of low fat mozzarella in salads, I eat a lot of lean chicken/turkey, I love my beans (mostly for the fibre tbh hah)

went for a 4km walk then did this

mind you my heaviest photo is from 12 years ago (2008 vs this year), difference should be roughly 33kg between the 2

can I just ask why you try and stay 100+kcal under? 1200ish is low as it is and if you're weighing and measuring your portions you should be ok eating the numbers mfp gives you

if you're only going for 15 more lbs I'd choose a slower rate of weight loss, as you have fewer calories to play with to start with - no need to go for rock bottom if you can still lose consistently and at a decent rate while eating more :) personally I find 1200 tough to stick to, but 1300-1500 is much easier (this is…

I've thrown in more workouts with dumbbells past few months... my weight has been stable (159cm and 58kg +-1kg), late march vs early july:

it's my rest day, so I did this + went for a short walk (3km)

Honey, I just don't like the taste. I also can't stand lemon juice on meat/fish, it overpowers and ruins the taste for me

1kg per week is actually pretty aggressive, and 1200 is quite low - even for me and I'm 30, roughly 160cm and 57-58kg (trying to *very* slowly get to 54-55). Personally 1500ish is easier to stick to/more sustainable, and it's easier to keep things balanced. Not sure about the goal weight thing but you can always reassess…

I made pizza, it didn't necessarily come out pretty but it was tasty

Actually, yeah, this year's been *terrible* for allergies (pollen - it's usually mild enough that I haven't gone to the doctor for it, this year tho... yeesh), been having issues pretty much constantly since early April - though it did think it got a tiny bit better around mid-June... Can't think of much else that might be…

For sure, being stuck at home starts to mess with me and my energy levels... I had a job dry up because of covid, been sending out job applications, signed up to workshops (which just ended), and just finished going to a German class... I'm mostly a bit worried about the soreness more than being tired though, tbh, because…

this in the morning, then decided it was enough for the day

It's been roughly same weights (aka not upped the weight in the past few weeks) and I do a warmup and I stretch after

kinda wasn't feeling it today in the sense of "I'm so tired it's hard not to halfass it"? I might just take a day off tomorrow or just stick to a short yoga video

what's the deficit you're aiming for and what's your maintenance kcal? Cuz for some people it would be ok, but - say - someone like me who *maintains* on 1500ish without exercise (hi, short woman here) and aims for a small deficit, that kinda day *would* wipe out pretty much all the work I'd done the rest of the week
