I Walked for 45 minutes this morning, while the kid was in tkd. Roughly 6k steps. Gotta take advantage, when I can.
I rejoined this morning for three months. The tracking really does help so much, as I only rejoined after lunch and didn't realize how much I'd already screwed myself when it came to dinner. Which plan are you on? The first time, I was on Blue, but I went through the series of questions today to analyze, and it recommended Green, which gives more daily points but fewer zero-point foods. I'm going to try that one.
I like this idea and will adopt it, too. K, gotta go right now because I only have three minutes to shove as much food in my mouth as possible.
I believe it’s the closest I’ll have to a silver bullet. The evening couch drinking and snacking is what rocks me. But yeah, a few times I’ve been in the kitchen looking at the clock at a quarter to eight thinking “last call,” and considering pouring a nice tall alcoholic drink with a side of donuts. So far I’ve been pretty good about that though. So far.
Deschutes Brewery Wowza! Lo-Cal Hazy Pale Ale and Lagunitas Daytime IPA are two great options if you can find them on the East coast. Both have flavor and are great summer beers for drinkability and clock in at 100 and 98 calories.
I did this one Sunday. I liked that there were some different bits to it. The time seemed to move quickly.
Awesome job on that.
I always do the Green plan as I like the more points vs. longer list of no point items in the other plans. It always recommends the middle plan to me (forget the color) but Green works best for me as I feel like it gives me the most flexability to cheat (within the system) and the zero point plans items are very cheap on a point basis.
Since you've quit snacking after 8, do you ever feel hungry at night? I can't tell if I'm actually hungry or my brain is just convincing me that I am because in reality I'm bored.
Blue is the middle one, which is what I did before.
I'm confident in which option i will choose when given an option to do a headstandBlue is the middle one, which is what I did before.
Turns out you can eat a lot of sushi (I mostly avoid the rice) and stay in your WW points, even if you add some wine.
This week's YWA on her calendar are all bedtime-type yogas, stuff to do to wind down. Since I never do yoga at night, I'm skipping those for now and poking around with later parts of the April calendar. Today I did the 27-minute Confidence Boost Yoga, not because I needed a confidence boost but because I was looking for something ~30 minutes. Apparently confidence boosts for Adriene include a dozen minutes of difficult one-legged balance poses, an optional headstand, and crow, among other things. Yeah, I really felt better about myself after failing at all of that.
If I made more money I would be so into this diet.Turns out you can eat a lot of sushi (I mostly avoid the rice) and stay in your WW points, even if you add some wine.
Good question, I'm not sure. I do find that suddenly now I need to eat breakfast in the morning. I haven't eaten breakfast for years. Probably because I was shoveling cartfuls into my pie hole just before going to sleep. No wonder I wasn't hungry in the morning... I much prefer the not eating after 8, sleeping on a more empty stomach, and waking up to some coffee and a light breakfast.fred_1_15301 said:
Honestly, the late night food and drinking binges are basically cause of all my weight gain. Cutting that out is a huge change and like you I wake up and have a light breakfast and regular intact of Coffee. Hardest part of dieting is resisting those evening binges as a couple of beers and some ####### oreos after I have them sounds amazing.
Your body isn't quitting on you and probably the opposite because you've done an amazing job undoing the damage you did to your body when you were younger but part of the price you pay for that is that it's harder to undo that damage later in life than earlier and you've worked so hard to get where you are and improve your heart health and weight and get yourself physically in shape that you probably pushed harder than you should have but just remember that is a much better reason to be in the hospital than another cardiac event and your positive attitude while doing all the walking and biking and cheerios transformation is one of the most impressive things I've seen so keep your eye head up because it is exactly that positivity that will get you better later so I don't want to hear any of that body is quitting on me talk and you can hop that to the bank, slowhan.
Had a good week. Goal was 2 lbs but lost 3. Saturday day off exercise. Extended my exercise bike rides to 21-22 miles most days, up from 19 or so, and gradually increasing resistance. Gave myself some rewards Friday and Saturday (friend came in town and made prime rib!) but then stuck to my calorie totals strictly the rest of the week.
Update on the Noom journey. Again, at the risk of sounding like a commercial, I've been following it since Mid July.
