My goodness somethings in the air! The freezing weather is def a huge downer, I can barely get outside because of my knee. I slipped quite badly last night taking the dog out. I was scared of crushing him, he’s only tiny, so I slipped really weirdly and my knee made a weird popping Noise. I’m praying I haven’t set back my healing!!!!!!!
I weighed in from five myself motivation, another pound down but I don’t know why I felt very negative about it. It’s silly because I’m down into a ‘kilo bracket’ that I haven’t seen in over a year.
@texican your post was so welcome, so good to hear that we are all doing a very good thing in a tough time. I’ve also been consistently slightly over 800... sigh... at least weight is still Coming off! I don’t know if this appeals but you could try tofu a scramble instead of egg scramble? It’s pretty nice and amazingly low carb high protein.
@BoozeHound haha that dream made me laugh! But I see what you mean! Thanks for the tip about veg, I might just stop putting it into my calorie counter and just focus on the rest of it, I’m just consistently between 850-1000 if I’m getting my protein in but I’m a way I prefer that, I don’t want to lose my muscle! Especially as I’m barely excercise Nd at the moment. I’ve also had some really crazy dreams... scary ones and sad or awful ones that make me so glad I’ve woken up! Shudder!!!
@PhoenixMama I think that’s a good plan, I feel like you’ll feel less like full bingeing if you’re on plan and as you said getting back on it on Monday will be better!
I’m meeting with a pregnant friend on Monday and she will def want to get a treat somewhere and I don’t want to miss out so I might give myself Monday ‘off my fast’ but still do as you are and rest of the day be eating fast800 style.
@Forfecksake17 1/2lbs probably water weight or weird scale fluctuation though it’s probably made you annoyed 😒 Have you been drinking caffeine? I’ve cut out caffeine after 4, I used to struggle with the exact same thing and I read that caffein doesn’t actually affect you when you’re tired, it just prevents you getting tired once you’ve slept so it will stop the sleep hormones affecting you when you wake up if that makes sense? Just the way it works on the brain. So best way to Get caffein to wake you up is drink a cup before a nap, then when you wake up you’ll be super alert... I also found that food was a way that i soothes my anxieties so a lot came up in the first week and I’ve been doing headspace to deal with that.
@Squirrelblanket Glad you enjoyed your meal and well done being straight back on it
I’m going to focus more on water, ive really not being doing great on that either ... but hoping it’s just a learning curve.
