Intermittent Fasting! Still alcohol-free. Caffeine-free other than a tbsp of cocoa in my shakes, and I'm tapering down on that too. I also did some meal prep!

Non-scale victory of the week!

I meditated twice this week and completely kicked my morning caffeine habit!

What do you feel you could have done better this week?

I didn't count calories this week and I know from past experience that the weight I'm at now is about the point where I really have to count to continue losing. I also only did intermittent fasting one day.

Non-scale victory of the week!

1. Stuck to Keto, I didn't meticulously track calories but I still ate sensibly. So now I know that I have learned what foods and eating habits serve me well. 2. Still no alcohol since November! 3. I cut down further on caffeine this week - I'm down to 3/4 cup of green tea. Looking to cut down even more this coming week. I definitely think excess caffeine makes me eat more in the evenings!

What do you feel you could have done better this week?

I definitely ate when I wasn't hungry, I could be more mindful about eating. I also need to restart a real exercise routine, but I know that my appetite and calorie intake goes up (and weight fluctuates a ton more) when I exercise regularly. So I want to wait until my weight is solidly down in the 150s

Non-scale victory of the week!

I moved houses and managed to eat in a healthful way. I haven't had alcohol since November 1st and wasn't tempted to drink even through the stress of the holidays and moving.

What do you feel you could have done better this week?

I actually think I did pretty well, given the circumstances. However, I still have trouble overeating due to stress or social pressures. I haven't stuck to a strict Keto diet since July and it shows on the scale.

What are your goals for the upcoming week?

I'm starting 2 new DietBets, one Kickstarter and one Transformer, with the intention of having it actually stick this time. I've started and not completed two Transformers. I want to complete this one! I want to stick to strict Keto this week, this month, this year. I want to stop yo-yoing between 150 and 165 and actually get down to my goal weight of 140 (assuming I like how I feel/look at that weight).

Non-scale victory of the week!

Running less but got a ton of house chores done over the weekend. Went to the gym on Monday, did a Pilates video at home on Tuesday.

What do you feel you could have done better this week?

Still working on not binging on nuts. I had a couple drinks a few days in a row. Those two in combo equal fast fast weight gain.

Be very honest with myself about what I'm putting in my body. Track it all in my food diary.

Non-scale victory of the week!

I'm not really sure. I've been avoiding the scale since Easter and with this latest weigh-in I'm seeing the negative outcome of that!

What do you feel you could have done better this week?

So much. My diet went off the rails for Easter/Passover and I'm up 6 lbs as a result. I'm hoping it's mostly water weight, and I started a new Kickstarter because they're more motivating than the Transformers, but I still need to hit my goal for the Transformer! I don't think I can do it, but I'm hoping. I took a break from running but it hasn't really helped/changed my hip pain - it's sitting that's the problem. I'm going to start running again this week.

What are your goals for the upcoming week?

Strict Keto, watching calories, start running again, but try to be kind and accepting with myself and give my body the best nourishment possible.

Non-scale victory of the week!

I've been stretching more and my hip is hurting less. I transitioned to black only-decaf coffee in the morning and it's definitely improved my overall mood, energy and sleep. I have been trying a few days of intermittent fasting per week with good results.

What do you feel you could have done better this week?

I didn't lose as much this round as I wanted too, but it looks like I'll at least be a round winner. It's hard to keep tracking food all the time when I'm also trying to build good habits like stretching multiple times per day and taking sufficient breaks from sitting down. However, I think if I just intermittently fast M-F then it'll be much easier to track/log meals, and I'll cut down on my habitual/not-really-hungry eating & snacking. And, as always, I need to eat fewer almonds :/

Stretching for my hip: 8 minutes, 3 times per day. Work in 45 minute bursts with 15 minute breaks. Intermittent fasting Monday-Friday.

I've only had alcohol once in the last two weeks, and it was just one drink. I don't miss it! I'm trying out intermittent fasting and was able to do that a few days this week. It *kind* of helps with caloric intake.

What do you feel you could have done better this week?

Eating at a caloric deficit is just so hard sometimes.

What are your goals for the upcoming week?

I hurt my hip running too much so my goal is to figure out a very stable, safe set of exercises I can do, and to limit my calories appropriately for my lower level of exercise

Non-scale victory of the week!

I ate *way* fewer nuts and it was way easier to keep my calorie count down. I ran 5 times and weight lifted and skied for exercise. I was able to eat under my calorie goal 4 out of 7 days and only had 1 really high-calorie day. I used Intermittent Fasting to help pay attention to what real hunger feels like and keep my calorie consumption lower. IF works really really well for me and I might start doing it almost every day. I continued to avoid alcohol, go to sleep by 10pm everyday. I've stop drinking caffeinated coffee - just decaf now, and I plan to wean off that as well!

What do you feel you could have done better this week?

Actually this week was almost perfect!

What are your goals for the upcoming week?

Keep on keeping on. Run 5 times (with one much longer run). No alcohol. No coffee (even decaf). Intermittent Fasting at least 3 days this week. One perfect pushup every day. Go to sleep by 10 every night.

Non-scale victory of the week!

I joined RunBet to make me start running again. 2 runs down and 28 to go! No alcohol again this week. Started my bedtime routine before 9:30 every day this week. Kept my carb intake low. Yesterday I hit my target weight for the Kickstarter Final Weigh-in next week!!! But today I was back up a pound.

What do you feel you could have done better this week?

I need to limit my calories more - I'm relying too much on exercise and I know that I might not hit the Kickstarter Final Weigh-in weight if I'm not a bit stricter this week. My TDEE is pretty high but I average eating around 2200 calories so it SHOULD BE EASY to cut that down to 1800. Really I need to do a better job of not hanging out in my kitchen (I work from home) if I'm not cooking/eating.!
