Not a ton of fiber in the cashews, more in the Craisins (or whatever). And yeah, not eating a whole pound is definitely the challenging part.

I'm fond of cashews and dried fruit. Kinda hefty calorie-wise but will help toward your fiber goal.

You can work out fasted if you want. Most people who work out fasted like to eat immediately after (I imagine you'd be ravenous at that point). However, timing of meals and workouts is WAY less important than simply doing the workout and making sure what you're eating is appropriate for your goals. You can delve into the minutiae if you think it'll help but most people find it best not to over-analyze. I think there are a couple of intermittent fasting articles here on NF; I'd start with reading those.

I will absolutely never tire of seeing this.

As to not perfectly hitting all the goals, it's called a "challenge" for a reason. If everyone always hit all their goals, they'd call it a "really freakin' easy."

Bit redundant there, no?

Stop doing that.

Image still broken. IG pic and the IG account is private? Just a guess. Don't worry about it on my account, was just giving you a heads up.

I got a "nope" image. Link broken?

What is butterbeer?

Home gym hit by a meteorite in 3... 2... 1...

I need to do more exercises like this where you basically build a fort first. Seems like fun.

After one or two incidents of deleting my work, started saving like every five seconds. This served me well until I worked at a place where the Excel macro shortcut to clear out the sheet and irreversibly destroy all the data was... wait for it... Ctrl + S. We had a talk.

THAT'S THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THIS CHALLENGE'S GOAL.

A tomato-based fruit salad is salsa.

Two. Eat exactly two. TOMATOES ARE FRUUUUIIITS NOT VEGGIEEEESS! AAAARRRGH! ...sorry. Pedantry for life (hashtag, yolo, and whatever else the kids say these days).

Right there with you. Until I've eaten an amount of food whose weight is greater than my max squat thereby rendering me immobile, I'm still going.

What killed ON for me was the Mocha flavor. It tastes like if someone put bleach in your coffee and your coffee had cancer and you drank the coffee and also got cancer in your mouth. Every ON flavor afterward was ruined; before Mocha I could drink it no problem. Avoid the Mocha!

It's full of lead: Optimum Nutrition is ok, but tastes gross IMO. I've been getting Myprotein lately.

Oh boy do I not miss apartment life and the various inevitable waterpocalypses thereof.

This is unusual in an interesting way. Feel free to say more words about it as they become available.

Out of sympathy for your eye problems, I hereby restrain myself from making a joke about "seeing" the neurologist.

What is this? Edit: Do you mean a family member? I'm feeling pretty dumb over here. Edit 2: I see Grumble asked the same question and I feel less dumb.

As you mentioned it's a pretty slow pace. If that works for you then all is well. I personally loathe cutting regardless of how drastic a deficit I'm on, so I'll go pretty hard in order to get it done faster. It's all a matter of personal preference.
