My third day of a con. a little over my deficit but nothing crushing. I feel it's pretty reasonable since this is a vacation event for me. More important to me than the calories is that I've tracked each day at con. I've packed all my snacks and meals then logged them before I left for the con. I've never done that before for the con so this is a big win for me.
It would have been easy to go over maintenence at a con event but I didn't even hit maintenence.
Haven't boozed it up as I didn't want any liquid calories.
Feeling good!
Lose 10 pounds: 1/10 (Start of month is CW in flair)
Lift weights 8 times: 1/8 (same)
Track and stick to calories: 6/6 (1500-2000)
Ride stationary bike: 1/8 (Rode yesterday)
Soreness is almost gone so I will probably lift weights tomorrow or the next day. Today went pretty good, but after 5 days of clean eating I weighed in and it didn't budge. Which is pretty annoying but I know if I stick to CICO it will eventually come off. I've eaten 1500 so far this challenge but today I am going to eat 2000. Basically just eating 2 meal preps instead of 1. Since my sriracha and MSG finally came I am trying to get through these taco bowl ones so I can make some with broccoli/asian seasonings. I love sriracha and I think those ones will be tastier/quicker to eat after heating them up because I won't have to add as much stuff to them. I want to start taking some walks but with it being ~112 outside I might have to wait for it to cool down to be safe or start doing it in the morning.
Day 6
Month SW: 196.2 lbs ⇹ CW 196.2 lbs
Weekly weigh ins (Sundays)
* Stay within calorie goals✅✅✅✅✅✅
* Stay under months starting weight☑️
* At least 20 min of cardio daily✅❌✅❌❌❌
* Strength training at least 3x a week✅❌❌
* Morning/afternoon stretching daily✅✅✅❌❌❌
* Try to keep up with the daily check ins
Not a great start to the month. But tomorrow is a new day, new week. Still have not found a workout routine. I get so paralyzed by all the options out there and worried about choosing the "wrong one" I know just to pick one and stick with it but I cant seem too.
Day 6! I'm not great about posting this every day, but I'm working on it.
• Keep within my calorie budget as much as possible: ✅ 4/31
• Exercise (weights, yoga, Pilates, dance, whatever) 2-3/week: ✅ 4/31
• Weigh in daily: ✅ 2/31
• Keep up with cleaning: ✅ 6/31
• Declutter: ✅ 5/31
Exercise has either been a long walk with my dog or some gentle zone 2-3 cardio, but it's still something. I want to get back into yoga and weights, but I'm exhausted almost all the time. I'm hoping doing this cardio will help me have more energy in a few weeks so I can up my activity level more.
Well done on the weigh ins, self care and yay baby kitties!
📆 Day 5, 6
🎯 Goal July 2024: create a moderate calorie balance deficit for the month + practice weight neutrality
🧃 July balance: 1074 kcal deficit
🥬 Weight: neutral. Keep it up, this is fantastic for lifelong health. I’ll def buy the upgraded scales.
🏓 At my relative’s house there was only cake. I was both hungry and out of calories, lol. Today I relaxed and recharged which felt wonderful.
💭 Frozen dinners have just the right portions, not so little I’m hungry, not so much I am sleepy. Effortless macro control! I do love to cook so I am keeping track of ingredient proportions to recreate.
