A late start for me this morning, but I'm glad I got up and did my workouts. Always good to start off the week knowing I've done a third of my exercise goal already. Last week I did 205 minutes - not including a nice walk on Saturday - nullified by a raisin danish and chai latte - but all good.
This week I'm aiming for 180 minutes of exercise so this morning was:
Sydney Cummings - 45 Minute Toned Arms AMRAP Workout | BURN - Day 31
and
Jump Rope Dudes - 15 Min Jump Rope Workout For Weight Loss
I don't think anyone ever clicks on the links (they don't seem active anyway so you'd still need to copy and paste) so I'll just post the names of the workouts for my own future reference. Actually did a total of 30 push-ups on my knees in the second workout so that is progress for me.
Last week my average daily calories for the 6 days I tracked came to 1932 so it would be a bit over that with the public holiday on Monday. This week I suppose I'll aim for 1800 again although I'd really like to get back to 1700. It's still seeming really hard, but hoping that if I start this week off with a good few 1500 calorie days I'll have a chance.
This morning my weight was 71kg so there is hope for this Friday's weigh in.
Onward and downward friends! Hope you all have a great week!

Nikina, i am no expert. But looking at your daily allowed calories, my immediate thought is that you might take in too much? You only weigh 70kgs, and eat like 1700 calories. I weigh like 98, and my "to lose weight" calories is 1428. It aint much, but if your combinations are correct, you dont have to go hungry. I try and eat 3 meals, and 2snacks, and it works for me (for the not getting hungry part). Not sure yet about the weight, tomorrow will be weigh in no 1 in a long long time. I got a very nice formula off the internet for calories to maintain, and to lose. But like i said,,,, i am still to see if there is results. :)

Thanks for your input Belinda4W! Yes, I know my calories are currently too high, but I believe in tracking everything I eat as accurately as possible (when I do track) and I am aiming for lower. I have lost the majority of my weight sticking to 1600 calories in the past, but I was also doing 4 hours of exercise a week then. I'm finding it quite hard to stay at lower calories lately, but I'm hoping to improve with time. I record diary entries mostly so I can see my own progress or what was going on when as I've been on this journey for some years now. All the best and good luck for your weigh-in tomorrow!

Aah, such kind words, Mermee! I do appreciate your support too my friend and I'm always so glad to see your posts! I don't believe I am in the relm of you and many others on FS so it's so kind of you to say that I'm an inspiration too - thank you! I'm hoping to get to a comfortable level of exercise and calories as well some day soon. Consistency is key I think. All the best! 🤗💕

Hey Nikina70 I always enjoy your entries and knowing how it's going with you 🤗🤗🤗 With regards to reducing your calories, do you still skip breakfast? I haven't looked at your logs for ages. I find if I do a 16:8 by default I just have more control (and reduced calories) as I would only do lunch and dinner (2 meals) I'm really going to try not to snack this week and just have my 2 proper meals. Sometimes when I go into snacking "mode", normally when I'm freaked out about something 🤔😐 I find myself looking for snacky type stuff, a few olives, ramekin full of chips, a few salticrax, , mixed nuts, a piece of feta, gherkins, you get the idea, whatever I can find that says "eat me, eat me" I'm yummy, and WHAM look at those calories going ka-ching, ka-ching as it starts racking up. It's insane 🤣🤣🤣 The stress I've had with an ill family member for the last 2 weeks is now a thing of the past, so I'm totally ready to have a good week. Wishing you the same, let's crush this thing!! 💜💛💜

Aah, thanks LCFF! I enjoy seeing your posts too my friend! No, I'm not doing 16:8 at the moment although I know it usually works really well for me. I might do it again at some point, but I'm just finding that I want to eat something right after my workout in the morning - and even on non-workout days I prefer to eat in the mornings. I might change it up if I move my workouts to the evenings, which I have done in the past in winter. I find it really hard to control my snacking over the weekends. During the week I'm more organised and plan ahead, but weekends are harder for me to control - hence I save up some calories in the week to allow more on the weekends, but then have gone over most weeks this year. It's a struggle and I will just keep trying. Hope we both do well this week - as you say - 'Let's crush this thing!!!' :)
