Certainly do, although more comfortable with GM now

I could probably do with a bit of calorie increase, however, even with that I will still go I binges. I don't think that cals and those binges are connected. I'll see how these three weeks go, See how my body feels and if there are any changes. Thanks for the feedback!

Every few days I will binge on junk. It ruins my calories. I know when I am going to do it. I can feel it in the back of my mind. and with in a few hours I will have a huge bag of chips or pies or lollies. I don't want to do this. I am looking for 'circuit breakers' that I can use to cut the process before it gets too far along. Is this something you experience and have over come? What strategies do you know of? Any and all suggestions welcome.

Hello! For the last two years I have been training like fighter. Mostly barbells, mostly big heavy lifts. I have decided that I don't like how that makes me feel. I feel slow, and sluggish. I've made a choice to change my training completely. I have uploaded Phase 1 of my training routine. This is 18 days worth of exercise. That's how long I have until the Easter Long weekend, which will have yoga and walking in it. Goals for this include. 1. Phase 1 covers three weeks of training, week four will be a recovery week Yoga and Walking, week five will Phase 2. 2. Create a collection of 'circuit breakers' that will stop me from sabotaging my diet. 3. Find a small group of like-minded people to make a support group with. I will sabotage my diet every other day by eating a whole bag of chips, or a bag of lollies, or a block of chocolate, or something I buy at a shop. I want to develop some strategies to stop this. I know when I am going to do it. It's a slow building process and even when I'm doing it I don't want to. So, if you have anything like that let me know! I'm a writer and tabletop gamer. I'm big into indie rpgs, fantasy and sci fi, and bad movies. My goals are to lose weight, and train hard. Reach out if any of those things are inline with you, I need a support network. I'm sure you do to.

One week in. I went over my calories twice last week. I'm pretty happy about it. Also, I'm not logging exercise. I feel it isn't accurate and I overeat. So, no exercise logged.

I happy to support those in need

Looks like I logged in with an old account. That's a photo of me about 20kgs lighter... damn.

Yep, Started on Monday

Hey there, so I tried a challenge a few months ago and didn't really get there. So, this timeI am switching it up a bit. I exercise quite a bit. I don't need assistance with that. I need assistance with diet. Main Quest: Lose body fat. 1. Calorie Counting, aiming for 2200 cals a day. 2. Practise mindful eating - All meals will be eaten at the table with no phone or book in hand. That's it. Simple. I am going to do this.

Hey Nic! Going well. have done at least 4 workouts a week and have stuck to the intermittent fasting. Feeling pretty confident about sticking to it.

Hello! Puppy life has consumed me. As for organising my mornings... it's going ok. The pupper has interupted that as can't take him walking yet (vaccinations etc.) However, in other news. Nutritionist went really well. She has me on intermittent fasting. 16:8. This is going ok at the moment. no food from 6pm to 10 am. WIll report on this after a few more weeks. CrossFit has begun to bore me, so I have turned to my own training for a while with the following set up. Monday, Heavy lowerbody lifts. Deadlift Back squat Leg Press Hack Squat 5 sets of each with reps of 2 to 4. Tuesday, heavy upper body lifts. Bench press Should press Seated row Lat pull down 5 sets of each with reps of 2 to 4. Wednesday, cardio and mobility. Start with 10 - 15 mins on foam roller and squash ball. Then, 25 to 45 mins on bike or treadmill (will change to outisde when weather cools down) Thursday, interval or metric conditioning. kettle bells, assualt bike, boxing bag, skipping rope, box jumps... all the high intensity stuff with a leg focus. Friday, the feel good session Arms, chest, and shoulders. and then hammer the assault bike Basically just make myself feel good. Weekends, whatever I am feeling.

Arrrggghhhh! It's mainly the pupper, i know. I have friends I never knew wanted to hang out so much. Hey sweet! What podcasting have you done? https://committeequest.podbean.com/ There's a link to it, but you can find Committee Quest on any podcasting app.

One is good! What is it? The big name as really just a bit of pomp for the podcast

In other news, back to CrossFit this week. ITS HARD after 2 weeks off. I think i am going to smash some PBs in my strength this year. I am lifting what I thought was heavy two years ago with ease at the moment. I really want to improve my cardio fitness, so working on my bike to get it fixed. AND walking is going to turn into running by about mid year I think.

Oh the Hogfather was great! And Reaper Man is a classic! There's a live action film of the Hogfather which is actually pretty good. Right now he's a asleep after 20 mins of play. But we're going to train him for hiking! The Little Hunter!
