      No alcohol. 30 or more minutes cardio everyday except Friday. Portion control.

      We'll see if I can keep it up this week.

        With the exceptionally cold weather we had in February, and the attendant snows, I've been a slacker about going on my walks. Interestingly, in December, 5 ยฝ miles was a typical walk, and I did it in about 95 minutes.

        I started again, in earnest last week, and found that, at three miles, I'm getting tired. So, I've limited it to about 4, 4 ยฝ miles the last few days.

        I wonder if it's because I got reconditioned, or that I'm just showing and feeling my age (shut up, @jon).

          You definitely feel it if you take time off.

          But I think you get back up to speed faster than it originally took. It's not like starting over from scratch.

                Mixed bag. Weight jigged up and down all week and finally settled at a loss of one pound. Exercise was a non-starter, a little foam rolling.

                The best thing is that I'm starting my fourth day drinking almost nothing but water, and it's fine! A life first. I'd be thrilled if this lasts and I can get off the sweetened beverage train.

                Unrelated to weight loss, but it's possible my difficulty breathing that has been plaguing me forever has improved somewhat.

                  Slow start as I'm recovering from a nasty leg injury.

                  Still, did a few workouts. Weight trended well, but moved slowly as I would expect and want:

                  I know have an A/B regiment with 12 exercises to do each day, switching between A days and B days. It should be sufficient to keep me going until I'm comfortable rejoining a gym. Also it'll be warm several days this week so I'll get back to walking outside.

                  You were warned.

                    Scale says Iโ€™m down 3 pounds this morning from last week, but it was 2 yesterday (and since things go up and down as they go down, Iโ€™m going to call it 2, which is still fine with me!). I didnโ€™t actually count calories this week, (mostly because Iโ€™ve done this enough that I know what I should eat, and what portions look like) no added sugar, and when I had a sweet craving, I had a tangerine or some apple. One big thing is to not drink my calories (because Iโ€™d rather eat them) - Iโ€™ve stopped drinking alcohol for the most part anyway(migraines) - so my โ€œtreatโ€ is a non alcoholic beer, or if I want something cold and fizzy, I drink soda water. Otherwise itโ€™s coffee/tea or regular water. Hopefully will do better this week with exercise (itโ€™s snowing at the moment, and Iโ€™m ready for spring!)

                                    Day 2 of 16 hour fast routine.

                                    I am only eating, and making smarter choices, between the hours of 12:00 and 20:00

                                    It's not that bad.

                                      Can't say for sure, but I think I've lost around two pounds this week, for a total of three pounds.

                                      Much improved in the hydration department. This week I had like a cup of beverage that wasn't plain water, and drank more water than I have been -- still a ways to go there. Am liking plain water more and more.

                                      Also discovered -- or rediscovered -- that drinking a smoothie for breakfast is a signficant assist in keeping the carbs low for the rest of the day. (The smoothie is 14 carbs.)

                                      Cutting way back on starchy carbs. Looking forward to increasing vegetable intake.

                                      Exercise is still a non-starter.

                                        I typically make smarter choices between 12:00 and 20:00, too.

                                          I'm at about 11 lbs down, which I'm fine with. According to BMI, I'm still just barely "overweight," but fuck that shit, it's ridiculous.

                                          Please love yourself.
