"not sure if it’s because i’ve been going back to f45 so it’s the muscle mass or what not. things have stagnant i don’t know if i should accept as this being the lowest i could go"
"Had my first Slow Carb meal. Couple of insights.
- I dont think I'm going to need meat for this diet. I was originally scared if doing to much beans but I found myself craving for the beans. Also, it might help with my cravings for the mouth feel of carbs. And the fiber should keep me full.
- I'm having random cravings for fruit and to pick at food. I can feel that I've tapped into my willpower. That won't last long. I'm going to have water and coffee near by at all times. Also keep busy and keep telling myself "I can have it now, or have a gigantic satisfying cheat day in 6 days" "
"Well, yesterday was not a good day of eating. I didn’t plan ahead, loosened the reins a bit, and then let myself get too hungry while I was out, and there are just not enough options out there right now. I did enjoy my cheat-ish foods and got a lot of activity though. Next week I have a good, legit restaurant meal planned that I think will be a better option. But you know what I’m going to do? Go back to the way I ate the rest of the week today. No detours, no starting over. I’m going to eat the chicken and vegetables in my fridge and get my steps in and keep fucking going. "
"I made a spreadsheet to be able to calculate 3 day running average of my calories in my calorie deficit. I figured that way I can stay on track and still not worried about if I have a bad day or a have a day where we go out to eat or something then I can just make up for it over the course of the next couple of days long as I stay within that average I should be good. Doing good so far finding it a little difficult to get my exercise in on days that I work because I'm essentially committed to working 14 hours a day 12 hours plus a 2-hour commute and I need to sleep too so there's just doesn't seem to be lot of time for exercising those days but I'm trying to make up for it on my days off."
"So far I've been in a month of keeping up with Goals and just getting things done. I have been micro exercising in the morning and lost in one week 5 pounds. I have also decided to walk the pups early in the morning for about 30 min whist it not so hot during the day. I've continued to write in my 5 sec journal and continue with Mel Robins Mindset Reset program. Although its from 2019 I definitely feel I've taken in LOADS of great insight from her. I've continued to update my budget from Every Dollar and will be starting two envelopes of cash for Home emergency fund and Car Emergency Fund. I am actually excited to have seen a video on how this was done. Thus far I feel as if I'm on the right track. "
"Very proud of myself, I did not binge or eat mindlessly today!
I made three low carbs dishes, baked beans with black soy beans, cheesy cauliflower, and potato salad with cauliflower very good! . "
"172.2 this morning. I'm about to do my kettlebell workout. Today is my first day of doing it every other day. I'm ready to step it up from every 3 days. I also will be starting to use a 15 pound kettlebell soon. Not yet but soon. I am optimistic things are going well. I just have to focus. I'll get there. "
"Today was successful. My real, non-craving sense of hunger and fullness is coming back, after being mostly hunger for the first five days. I'm eating slower. It's good. Did a thorough grocery shop and bought myself a pre-prepared salmon meal for variety. I even already seem less bloated? I know it's going to be a long road but I'm feeling good."
"I'll be honest, I have been slacking extremely hard. This pandemic, this country, these cops... everything is getting to be and I've just been sad and blah. I worked out almost every day during my first week. Then I stopped. I have done nothing but sit on my ass and play Sims. I'm disappointed in myself. My next goal is to get to 178 pounds. I want to do it, but I'm scared. I don't want to keep disappointing myself. I lost a few pounds during my first week and then gained them all back the next. UGHHHHHH. So what's the solution? I'm going to get up, eat some food, and do a yoga video. I got this. "
"Having stayed away from "treats" for over two weeks I am starting to pay more attention to when I crave junk ( chips, and cheezies and other mixtures of salt and fat, red wine, fresh baked goods.....) Not sure where I am going with the information. Will see how it plays out. "
"Day 5. Waking up hungry, I didn’t even eat up to my calorie limit last night. Mostly laziness and lack of groceries in the house. Noticing a lack of power during my workouts while I’m in a deficit. Still soldiering on. My real wish is to last more than two week. It’s so hard to do the marathon and not the sprint. "
"Going good so far. A goal of just over a pound a week seems fairly easy. I haven't craved snacks and I've been sticking to the plan even though it's only been a couple days. "
"Food log for July 2nd.
I made a pasta dish using heart of palm. Made a mushroom cream sauce with lots of mushrooms, scallions, pork, oregano, garlic, etc. So good! 10 carbs per serving of dish.
I really want to use it ti make spaghetti, it's a thick noodle and I think it would hold better.
"
"Day 4. I’m so hungry tbh. I guess I can deal with this for 17 weeks if it gets me where I want? I think acceptance is key. I’m not dying, just hungry. I already like the way I look and feel more. There will be times I can’t take it, and times where I screw up but I commit to continuing. "
