    • Day 3 - Wednesday Stuck to the core menu plan with no extras.  Calories were very low with 447 calories left over (that includes workout calories).  I didn't really feel overly hungry though so I'm not too worried.  There is a spell in the afternoons where I am feeling hungry but I've had my snack and then I get busy.  By dinner I'm not really that hungry.  I was low on energy for the gym though.  It is shark week so that's draining all my energy.  I felt like just half assing it.  Honestly, I felt like skipping it and half assing it was the compromise.  But once I got there I just whole assed it until I got to the core bits and skipped that part.  Got all stretching done and some primal squatting.     Day 4 - Thursday Appetite seems to be normalizing.  I was hungry during the day but didn't have any extra snacks, even though there was room.  I was banking on something bigger for dinner and eyeing the cheese curds in the fridge with gravy on my mind.  I was low on energy again but wanted to get a walk in.  DDG tried to give me an out but we went for the walk anyway.  We just capped it at 2 miles so we could get home and relax.  When I went to plan some dinner I found some store bought naan that needed used immediately so I popped some chicken fingers in the air fryer and made that gravy.  The gravy was served over chicken atop the naan with side salads.  It was very tasty.  No need for dessert.  Due to exercise calories and a few extra leftover I had total 300 leftover for the day.  
    • As always it's great to have you here.  thanks for your support.  💜   It is so tricky!   
    • 3/28 I ate   Instant Oatmeal 2 hb eggs instant ramen veggies 2 pulled pork tacos - no dairy 1 small cookie that my son made green beans an apple   In the morning I did some light bench presses   In the evening I walked for about 30 min.   So far things are going well I think.  I forgot to weigh in again, but I had a lot on my mind this morning, and I'm out of the habit of doing it.  I'll try again tomorrow.    
    • Cant garantee it will work, but i would suggest getting a small sketchbook and pencil and just carrying them around with you. Then when you stop or have a cuppa or whatever, you can pull them out instead of the phone.  less screen surfing, more sketching time.  hypothetically a win win
    • W1D5:  one large DDP with my morning fiber bombs.  As of today I'm switching to Dr Pepper Zero Sugar (DPZ) instead of the diet version since it tastes better while still having zero calories.  As long as my system tolerates it I'll stick with the DPZ through the rest of my cut.  Lunch was the pot-roast meal prep.  When I got home from work I snacked on a bit of cheddar cheese.  For dinner I peeled and cubed a couple pounds of yellow potatoes and popped them in the steamer, then I made a quick GF gravy with some leftover turkey stock from the freezer while they were cooking.  I stirred leftover rotisserie chicken breast chunks into the gravy and set it aside while I sauteed a pan of fresh green beans with some butter, olive oil, and garlic.  It all made for a nice, quick weeknight dinner since MFG was stuck with Brick at his PT appointment.  1682 kcal.   No Move goal, and since I finally had an evening with no obligations I just took it easy at home.   Scale this morning was down another 0.4, so I have just 1/2 lb remaining from last week's embiggening.  DOMS hasn't fully let up yet--this go 'round is being uncharacteristically persistent--but it's eased enough that I should be able to knock out another strength session after work today.  I'm looking forward to a nice weekend even thought it's going to be insanely busy.
    • Slept poorly. have dreadful cramps so Not feeling 100% today. Just going to take it very slow.  Messed up my calories yesterday as I'm craving sugar really badly. Right now if i could eat 1400kcal of chocolate i probubly would…Not that it would actually be that much chocolate.  Hormone cycles suck.  almost at the end of book 5 in the knight series by a.j.sherwood. One more and hen i’ll be into the new book series.    keep meaning to write about this and forgetting. Since ive been buying second hand romance novels i noticed there seems to be a tradition of making shorthand reviews on the first page. I have 3 books with them in now. This is the newest and most extensive. Its written in at least 2 different peoples hand writing.  from what i can gather the shorthand reads thus: pas = passionate mp good = male protagonist good gt = no idea about this one, any ideas? theres clearly a particular way to write them though, as the other ones i have are also written in the same condensed wording.  its fun that this is clearly a thing many people do though. Possibly it was the only way to get a review on such books before the internet and places like good reads. Always fun to find them though.   
    • Any chance of doing a morning workout while you travel? It sounds like you travel for work MUCH more often than I do, but for me, getting my workout done before all the social expectations kick in helps quite a bit. And also means that after I've exhausted myself by pretending to be an extrovert all day/evening, I can put on my jammies and try to recharge without having to then muster up the energy to hit the gym at the end.
    • Lift. 2x week. It didn't work last time, let's try it again, eh? Monday & Saturday mornings. It doesn't even have to be the program, FFS. Just move something heavy-ish up and down a few times. Walk. 2x week. Before work, when possible to avoid the heat. Alcohol. None on weeknights. Snacks. Think about when/why. This is often due to boredom. Fix the boredom with something other than food.   -----   Yesterday was not a lifting day No walk accomplished. No alcohol consumed I had some EXTREME battles with snack-age yesterday. It was absolutely because I was bored. I REALLY wanted to be doing ANYTHING else but had to work instead. Snacking was a way to 'validly' put off working, so ... bah. I had some carrots, at least. And evening TV snack was a handful of chocolate chips. Things could've been worse.   Yesterday morning at around 4a my brain decided it was done sleeping. Around 5.30 I gave up and got out of bed. This made for a very long day and I was quite tired by the end of it, despite an extra cup of coffee to bolster me along.   After work, I was able to start the laundry, hit the grocery store, and then do some sewing. Got a couple small things sorted out for the store then worked on the current project. It's basically a re-do/better fabric version of the thing I just made, so it's not terribly exciting. I'm hoping it'll go quickly and then I can move onto all the more-fun stuff I have percolating in the back of my brain.   Today I'd like to get a walk in, as the rain seems to have moved on. Also finish up laundry and get going on the sewing project.
    • Here for gymming and all the things.   Happy that you're back, Hatter.
