Continuing to battle metabolic slow down due to rapid weight loss.
I don’t want to dismiss the constant mentions of the beauty of nature that I find in these episodes when I was spending a lot of time walking outside in the beautiful park near my home. I have thought about getting a bike, but I’m still hoping I’ll get my foot back in shape quickly. But I think that is a big psychological boost, taking in the beauty of nature as much as I can living in a city.
More calories earlier — I don’t know if I ever got to that point. It’s just too unnatural; the idea of the biggest meal being in the evening is just too much a part of my life. But I can definitely do a controlled overall calorie count and I’m already getting started on that by tracking my calories, even if I probably don’t have the deficit I need to lose weight yet.
UPDATE 10/9 – Well, it’s week 6 and I’ve actually gained 5 pounds. Not good. So I’ve gotten back on the stationary bike the last couple of days, back to just a few minutes but I’m doing it every day. One thing I know is that it’s much easier to exercise when I’ve had a good night’s sleep. I got almost 8 hours last night and I felt this morning, well, okay. I mean it wasn’t just torture getting through every second. You know, when you think 5 minutes have passed, and you look at the timer and it’s 5 seconds! COVID is still a thing and my company has said we need to go into the office at least 2 days per week. We have to wear masks the whole day. I have to get used to a new routine, a new building, a new refrigerator. I haven’t been bringing anything to work to eat, so sometimes I go out with some people to lunch and other times I eat nothing. Sometimes I bring in McDonald’s for breakfast, which is okay as long as I’m aware of the calories. After all, the Bicak breakfast I make at home is basically an egg McMuffin. Anyway, not much progress, but I’m going to keep listening to these old episodes and try to keep doing what they suggest I do. Thanks for inspiring me to better health!
