    • Your photos are so beautiful, Ann. I'm so glad you share them. 💜 Glad you had a good trip! 
    • Glad TimovieSon and everyone else are okay-enough.  Sending good vibes for the next leg of your journey! You're inspiring me to step up the steps, even though I have 100 miles to get to Rauros.   Looking forward to lembas bread! ❤️ 
    • As far as I know, this is more of a concern if you have an average to low body fat percentage, but less of a concern at a higher body fat percentage. If you're carrying a reasonable amount of fat then your body should be able to burn that to keep you from going into true starvation mode even if you're below your BMR. I wouldn't recommend doing it, because you probably still won't feel date and the diet will probably be miserable and difficult to stick to, but it's probably not dangerous so I also wouldn't worry about accidently dipping below your BMR if you don't have a good way to reliably calculate what your BMR is. (Disclaimer: I'm a random guy on the internet, not a doctor, this is not good, or even mediocre, medical advice.)     I'm in a similar place with this - my observed maintenance from calorie tracking is a good 300-400kcal higher than most calculators will give me, and one calculator gave me a maintenance figure the other day that I'm currently losing 1lb/week at.
    • It's funny how there are some food things and some situations that are just so hard to avoid this happening with... Good for you being aware of it and planning for next time you're 'player'ing
    • I went to look up the new one to see the subject, and it looks like the title's been announced too: benaaronovitch.com/wp-assets/uploads/2024/03/MOS-cover-reveal-FINAL.mp4?_=1 (I don't know why that video won't embed, but still, it's there!)
    • Intriguing, but not in my wheelhouse.  Pot roast is done when I'm ready to eat it and not a moment longer.     W1D4:  one large Diet DrP; my mostly sugar-free mornings (fiber bombs notwithstanding) continue and seem to be paying dividends--my appetite feels a little more stable and predictable for most of the day, and I haven't been having snack cravings at all while at work.  Lunch was the pot-roast meal prep.  After work I ate a beef snack stick before heading to church for worship night and didn't get home until well after 8pm.  I reheated a pork chop with some roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli for my dinner, which didn't quite appease my hunger.  I added a couple servings of prunes, a bit of cheese, and two more beef snacks afterward to close out the day slightly high at 2077 kcal.   Move was nominal:  owing to horrible horrible DOMS from Monday I could barley muster enough  energy and will to do a bit of stretching before worship night, then I was on stage for several hours playing guitar.  I'm counting it as a pass.   Pretty good day, even with the cautionary yellow on Eat--if I were doing a zig-zag program then that would've been a perfect zig day, and it's still a decent deficit.  Scale was down another 0.6 lbs this morning, so now I'm within a pound of overtaking my previous low.  I'm altogether pleased with how this week is going despite having to Frankenstein around the planet at the moment while my legs (and abs, and arms, and shoulders) refuse to work properly.  By tomorrow the DOMS should be out of the way, and I'll be ready to resume the strength portion of my plan.   How 'bout that?  I inadvertently resuscitated  the Way of Pain™    
    • Well I was on track for the day until towards the end when I was waiting for the training to finish so I could go to quartet rehearsal and my brain started dribbling out of my ears... My quartet host provided chocolate and sicilian lemonade though, and because we finished pretty early and were only a ten min walk from the work peeps in the pub, I went to the pub, got many guinnesseseses and some snacks, and some pittas when I got home at 1am... I did not run this morning, and am slightly regretting my life choices to go see the Buffy musical thing which is in The Arse End of Nowhere (east London) as well as doing a 12:30-1:30am easter vigil with the sister I'm going to the show with. However, Last-Night-Silmarilliane prepped the coffee machine and also the filled the washing machine so those were nice forgotten-surprise when I got up today! Sleep-wise, I did read for a bit when I got in, while I was eating the pittas, but don't think I stayed up particularly crazy late for no reason.   Yesterday: 🍻 0pts 🏃‍♀️ 5pts 🚶‍♀️5pts 🌞 5pts 💡 0pts Total: 95pts   I'm not sure what the food situ is tonight (the place says 'meze snacks') and the next four days are UK Easter bank holiday weekend, so no doubt I'll be overeating to some extent. I should probably track my calories today so far though, and get my physio done (my hips haven't enjoyed two days off and sitting in the uncomfy training chairs).   Hope everyone who's bank holidaying has some lovely plans set up  
    • Ah ha! I did wonder why I couldn't see it any more!
    • Thank you! It REALLY is!   Okay, but its funny how in I've been studying this hard for 6 years and there is still times my brain goes "ohhh that's how it works!".    ---- 3 days in a row with 8 hours of sleep... and I woke up feeling even more exhausted. Aka, I'm finally feeling how tired I am.  But got work done last night, need to get more done... but getting my butt toward bed after 8 to be in it by 9 has been working for the better.    Yesterday morning I made Ugly chicken and cabbage before work, think I ended up running late between that and eggs but lesson learned. Found out if I don't chop the cabbage into tiny pieces but go for slices, it turns out like noodle shapes! Doesn't replace noodles but a VERY different needed texture to know.     ---- I was reading @Sovalis's challenge. the talk about wheat flour effecting joint pain. IDK if I have joint pain, but I 100% have inflammation in all my joints (especially as I try to move more). From my feet, knees and hips to even my back and ribs.   My brain brought up last night... what would be a passive way to lose some of the pain I'm losing until I could do more?    Brought it up to my naturopath a few years ago when I was seeing her and she confirmed it was definitely inflammation I was feeling. From her and others in my life I have been suggested to avoid eating: refined sugar, white flour and seed oil.    Before I would be changing my diet for losing weight (tight serving sizes). Or other rules. I already avoid buying ingredients, but as I work on how to cook in the dungeon. I can the recipes that will help me not only survive the dungeon but get stronger/feel better. 
    • My library system doesn't have it as a book! Maybe just a matter of time, they have most of the others. I may have to relisten, though, despite the reader making me want to painful things with a spoon.   (The next novella is coming out this September, by the way. Title not announced, but subject announced.)
