Ate a bit later than usual because there was no electricity. Nothing special today, just filling up the stomach 😒. Except the chocolate! My first piece of real chocolate this year (cocoa powder in smoothies and pancakes doesn't count), and I only had one block.
I went for a long walk/hike today. Which is my workout, I suppose. It's always nice to get out and breathe some fresh air, take in the natural scenery. It's not only good for the body, but also for the mind and soul. Helps set things in perspective. I'd like to do that more, but that may be difficult with the change of season.
Anyway, hope everyone's having fab weekend!!

Shark week has hit me hard with that lower back pain!!! But I managed to get through my workout though. Got to stay on it! It doesn't feel like I ate a lot today, even though I had a more plates than usual, I think the spinach and "coleslaw" took up more space on the plates than they did in my stomach. Feeling good though.
Had chicken soup as part of today's meal, and it pretty much cemented the idea I've had about adding soup to my meals a few days a week. A bowl of soup is so comforting to just hold and it can be filling. I now just need to learn how to make soup, lol!
Hope the week has been good to y'all so far!

Made some green pea soup today, because I had leftover peas in the freezer. It looked better than it tasted. Actually, it tasted okay, but I really don't like the taste of peas. Might have been better tasting if I hadn't used peas. Or if I had mint on hand instead of coriander. Anyway....
The weather (and shift rotation) is putting a damper on my workout ambitions. At least I've done my standard 5 days of working out, but I'm trying to add a 6th day to the regimen (either park run or just a 5km run by myself). Winter is probably not the best time to get into that, but I will see how it goes.
Managed not to overeat today, but not feeling deprived. I think the soup was a bit more filling. Maybe I should incorporate more soups into the meal plans to keep my eating in check. Especially now that's we're going into Winter.
Anyway, hope the weekend is treating you well!!

This was yesterday's meal- forgot to post. I'm pretty sure I overate a bit last night, I think it might've been the weather. Made a banging bean curry with Chinese radish as a stand in for potatoes (less carbs). It was spicy, warm, and so comforting. I was going to leave a little for today, but changed my mind and finished the whole thing. For dessert, I made an apple pie spiced cake ("baked" on the stovetop), topped with fried apples and yoghurt. I've never had authentic apple pie, but I enjoyed my version.
Had to put in extra effort during today's workout to counter the extra food from last night.
I've decided to go back to weighing once a month. No more unofficial weigh-ins for me lest it becomes an obsession. Also, as much as I know I still have some fat to lose in specific areas, I'm not going to change my goal weight on the app. I'm okay weighing around what I weigh now. I'll probably continue losing slowly, which is cool, but I also might not. Which is also okay. The main goal now is changing my body composition to get the shape I want (if that makes sense?). Lose fat, gain muscle to tone up, treat this body well and accept it the way it is, just turn it into it's best version.
The weekend is upon us!! Hope you all have a good one.

Simple meal today, but it was filling. Can't always eat like a king, lol! Not pictured is a fried egg I had for added protein and 3 rice cakes with peanut butter and homemade raspberry/chia seed jam. So much for avoiding rice 😒. But, in my head, rice cakes don't count as rice lol! I'm just having them this week, though, because I was really craving them. Will work off the extra carbs in my workouts.
I also keep worrying I'm eating too much in a single sitting, but my body just soaks it up. I think it may be that the muscle I've gained takes more food to maintain? Plus I workout 5-6 days a week. Just trying to listen to my body, though it is difficult when I extend my eating window. I eat once a day, but when I eat, I eat A LOT and that's what my body's accustomed to. I've found that if I try to extend my eating window for social events and such, I want to eat ALL the food. It happened last week, where I had planned to only have 1 slice of pizza (at a team building) but that turned into 3 slices, PLUS hot wings and fries. I don't even like pizza 😔!!!
I was toying with the idea of changing my IF regimen from OMAD to 20:4, but I probably won't. I just need to be more careful on the few occasions when I have to eat earlier and plan ahead for those times.
Hope you are all having a good week so far!!
