Thursday, 18 April  Fitness: I left work around 20:00, which makes it a 12 hour workday. Add walking back home and it felt like I didn't have enough time for everything I wanted to do. Which kinda pissed me off, so I smartly used that anger to actually fuel a workout. Between that, dinner and a shower, I slept like a baby and this fancy new sleep tracking app I downloaded out of sheer curiosity seems to agree. As far as the workout is concerned, I stuck to 5kg dumbbells, dropped the reps to a minimum and extended my rest time between sets from 10 to 15", which apparently allowed me to do better.  Media Production: Listened to the album of the day while at work and typed out my comments, so all I had to do after work was actually set up the video, add the music and make the IG post.

This is copy and paste from my challenge I am skimming through a diet book that I read before  "You Can't Screw This Up" by Adam Bornstein. I find it super helpful. It's very pragmatic. He has a whole list of  menu items that you can from restaurants that are good, filling, but not super high in calories.  One of the ideas he  spoke about was from James Clear (habit guru) When you are struggling with a goal a question to ask yourself is "How can I make this easy?" I  did that when , at the beginning of the week, I was worried I would fail at my diet goal. I realized that I was worried I would go over my calorie goal. So, I decided to cut my calorie goal by an amount that I thought I could do. The author, Bornstein, also talks about how it is good to step outside your comfort zone, but you don't have to leap. You can keep one foot in your comfort zone, and one foot out. When  we stretch too far in dieting, is when we tend to get burnt out. And you don't have to stay there. You can slowly up it. Applying this to my calorie goal, I can up the deficit slowly. Which makes sense. I feel like sometimes it takes a while to get in the groove.   And adding, because  after I read Harriet's post, I remembered this: One thing he suggests is a shorter time frame for diet. And then staying at maintenance for a bit and letting your body adjust to it's new set point.  I thought this was interesting since a few of us were going to try that method

Somehow missed your update. This is a great plan, and  I am glad it is working for you.

Today was a good day. In the morning, I joined a couple of friends for chatting and scrapbooking. Then we went and met some other ladies for lunch. We ate at Cheesecake Factory . For the win, I had preselected something from the skinnylicious menu (tacos!) so I stayed within my calorie budget.  Not tempted to have cheesecake, since my stomach and that much dairy do not get along. I came home and had some chicken. The nutrition guide said they were enough chicken for 30 grams of protein, but to me, the tacos seemed pretty light on actual chicken.  Then I went for a walk in the sunshine. After dinner, hubby and I went for another walk, I have over 10,000 steps.   I am skimming through a diet book that I read before  "You Can't Screw This Up" by Adam Bornstein.

I tried on several pairs of shorts, and they were too small. I want to look good in them by summer. I've talked before at how I sorta feel guilty for having an appearance goal. I know weighing less is healthier, but that seems so abstract. Fitting in my shorts for summer feel like a nice goal. Not too hard, but a bit of a push.

Thanks, Yes, I've had some wonderful walks

I'm re-reading a fantasy romance series by Rena Marks.       The job frustrations have faded considerably, which support the theory I formed back on Tuesday, that the frustrating incident on Tuesday was actually very minor. It just became that famous very last drop that cause the water glass to spill over.     I'm trying to learn from mistakes I've made in the past, when I "managed" stress by hiding from it, and self-medicated with ice cream and whiskey. shockingly, this doesn't actually make the stress go away.     Gym again tonight. I is leg day!    

😍   With diamond teeth? Toxic fumes breath weapon? I want in on this boss fight!

Agreed, the only thing it has in common with rice is they're both white. I'd rather just skip the rice if I need to.
