No tracking, no hard restriction, just guidelines:
- don't eat stuff that makes me feel bad (heavy/heartburn/uncomfortable)
- don't eat out unless it's an occasion to be celebrated
- don't eat refined sugar unless it's a special occasion
- eat as much protein as possible (still working on this one)
- ((i already didn't eat bread/pasta/cereal/cow milk))
Workout (usually 1.5h with the last 20m stretching and bodyweight):
MWF - Weights, focusing on core and legs (recovering from surgery, this is a specific pain-management need of mine)
T,Th,S - Cardio
I don't track my calories daily, but I do log things every few weeks to audit myself and I'm between 1200-1400 calories on a typical day). Intuitive eating can really work if you know how to read/respond to hunger cues. Still working to get more protein.
I'm pretty hyped, because I've been getting much stronger too, so the weight itself doesn't fully reflect the change in my body composition. My pants fell off going hiking this weekend. It was funny...and makes me want to buy new clothes, but I think I'll just get a belt bc I'm not stopping any time soon. :)
(for clarity, my main motivations are pain management and getting my baseline strength up to get over chronic health stuff that's kept me down for 5 years. I just found an old post from 2015 where I lamented not being able to go on a simple walk around the block in over a year and I just wanted to feel the sun on my skin again. I've come a long way. The weight loss is welcome, but is a secondary concern for me. Still cool to see numbers changing, tho)
