Plazmotic Claws Her Way Back To The Planet Surface

[Plazmotic]

I know I’m hella late to this but I’m having a hard time, like, LIVING LIFE without some kind of structured goals to work on. Currently really hating the way my body feels. Going to reinstate some of the goals I had in the last few challenges in order to get myself back on track, and I’m going to continue with these goals until June 30:

 

1.       Limit my food intake to 10:30am to 8:30pm

2.       Limit the amount of carbs I eat (25% of plate if possible)

3.       No chips for snacking (healthy snacks instead)

4.       Physical activity 5 days a week (walking the mall counts too)

 

Could use some encouragement. I feel like such a lazy goober these days. Couldn’t even hold myself to goal #1 today because they’re making something delicious at work and I couldn’t stop myself from sampling the free product in our test kitchen.

June 15th results

 

1. FAIL - ate something at 10am. I ate a single grape at 10pm too but I'm not counting that.

2. FAIL - salad for lunch, but dinner was pasta.

3. FAIL - snacked on yogurt and fruit, but also a bag of Indian roasted chickpea snacks... it sounds healthy but it's not, it's a fried fatty mess.

4. FAIL - sacrificed activity for getting some dope-ass crafting done instead.

I totally feel you on the lazy goober thing. Getting physical activity in is really tough for me. 

 

Can I ask about your reasoning for limiting food from 10:30-8:30?

Emergency Hugs for both of you! (And maybe one for me too?)

 

Welcome back Plazmotic, glad to see you back no matter how late you have arrived   I shall try to be here with emergency hugs. I also understand the lazy goober thing, although I'm more of a procrastinating goober... but I know we can do this!

It’s my attempt to do intermittent fasting. https://authoritynutrition.com/intermittent-fasting-guide/ Been feeling like a ravenous calorie monster lately and need to curb my appetites to something less… extravagant. Also it may help me lose weight. But I'm not going all out because I don't want my fertility affected.

Basically this (beach-themed hurricane vase decor) using shells my husband gathered for me on vacation 4 years ago. It's not completely done yet but once it is, I'll share a photo!

Yeahhhh I kind of fell off there at the end. Too many other things in life to deal with… property management and home insurance renewal and vacation planning, oh my. It wasn’t a good challenge, let’s just leave it at that. But! I think the next challenge will be better for me, going to time it as reboot of sorts.
