I was with my friend and was eating out since we spent the whole day together in Toronto. He then ordered Krispy Kreme and I didn’t, but I ended up caving in. I had 4 donuts at the end of the day.

That said, when I got home bought my healthy groceries and right now I’m going to meal prep late at night, chicken for the week.

Though today was my first net surplus, for the month, I haven’t shamed myself and I’m excited to end the night with a more prepared week.

Just wanted to share this to motivate.

  • Worked an 8 hour shift and then went for a run when I got home. 😁 Haven’t felt this motivated in a long time!! Feels really good.

65% to my goal.

Some ways I succeed:
- Google sheets tracking my calories, works better than my fitness pal b/c colour coded based on trajectory and also estimates what weight I’ll be by any given date
- eat within 500 below my BMR, aim to burn 1000-1950 calories/day exercising
- front load protein intake, increases satiety
- cardio when I feel the energy spike in the day (usually around 4-5pm) I do stair master b/c it’s high calorie burn (avg 1000 calories per hour) at my pace
- strength at night w/ protein (5mg of creatine before and after workout)
- buy healthy snack options so when the craving comes you can meet it with something that can be within your diet

Lmk if that helps 💪?

I’m doing a stepbet alongside this dietbet. It’s making sure that I get out and walk even if I’m tired after work. I’ve made a “summery walks” playlist to listen to as I walk. I’ve also got an audiobook if I fancy a change.

Talk to ChatGPT, it’s been helpful when I’m in a rut

Just here for the money. I know I’ll hit my goal why not motivate myself with a reward?
