stickwithit check-in
Today is my first check-in day!
I started NoS Thursday last week. Actually I had tried it before several years ago. Now I'm back.
Everything good so far, I especially enjoyed the cake on the weekend.
But I even more enjoyed the sanity with regards to eating. Three square meals, not having to wonder about whether I am still hungry or not after having eaten a plate of food, not having to think about snacking, whether to have something sweet or not and so on.
I really liked the different headers in automatedeating's tracker, so I hope it is okay that I copied them.
Weight: 76.2 kg
Eating
B: carrot; canned tomatoes, sweet corn, beans, olives; 1 1/2 fried eggs; flaxseed oil
L: carrot; canned tomatoes, sweet corn, beans, olives; 2 fried eggs; flaxseed oil; 1 slice of whole spelt bread with butter
D: carrot, romaine lettuce; whole grain rice with vegetables; yellow peas and tofu; 1 fried egg; flaxseed oil
Usually I don't eat as many eggs but I have to use up a few (and got them from a friend who gets them from a place where they have lots of space to run around and they taste great).
Moving
1 hour class CrossFit
15.800 steps

Re: stickwithit check-in
nice bit of extra sleep there!!!!
And how many days/week do you do Crossfit? How long have you been doing that? I've considered it over the years, but I'm a bit paranoid about getting injured because when I work out with other people I get too competitive. Over the years I've learned I am a lot more at peace physically exercising alone. But I do think Crossfit is super intriguing.

Thanks, auto! Sleeping that long backfired a bit though, couldn't fall asleep last night.
I've been doing CrossFit since 02/2017. I've tried to go between three and five times per week. Just started aiming for five times per week again, so I'll see how that goes.
Well yes you can get quite competitive doing CrossFit I assume. But I always try and be cautious and rather do a bit less than too much (i.e. trying to not go too heavy on the weights for example) as I don't want to get injured.

Re: stickwithit check-in
If you are worried about weight going back up it's time to look at size of plate and balance of carbs proteins and fats.
Reducing carbs can help

Thank you, Soprano. Today I reduced my plate sizes a bit. I had been trying to eat enough to not be really hungry between meals and think I ate more than what I had needed in that moment. So today I tried to eat to satiety instead and then had tea with milk when I got hungry before it was time for lunch.

Re: stickwithit check-in
My coworker is a great exerciser - she runs 1/2 marathons regularly and does Crossfit several times a week. Anyway, she was SO sore today! I guess they did a massive leg workout. She was moaning and groaning but I could tell she was proud of herself.
Do you have just one daughter, a toddler? I'm so amazed at your activity level while raising a toddler - also the lack of processed foods in your diet is really great to see.

21 DAY CLUB!
Hi auto, that moaning and groaning sounds familiar. Yes, it's a good feeling somehow to be sore from having worked out hard.
Yes, I have one daughter. Well actually I just started to make working out a top priority again (had a few weeks in January when I couldn't go to the gym because my husband was working very long hours and I had to look after our daughter). It so helps with staying sane while being at home with a toddler all day!
The toddler is the reason why I don't have a lot of time to read other NoS check-ins at the moment unfortunately. I think there is a lot to learn from others' journeys.
The lack of processed foods is something I have been working on for several months now. I have been working with a nutrition coach and it has helped a lot in finding out what foods work for me and keep me satisfied and happy. But there are still days when my eating is far from ideal. But even when I am indulging I am now rather choosing freshly made cake from a bakery instead of processed, prepackaged sweets from the store, which I consider progress.

Thank you, Sammy and Auto! I am feeling a lot better already. Made an onion cough syrup myself for the first time and took a teaspoon full several times during the day. Seems it helped!

Progress comes with plateaus, frustrations, setbacks and lack of motivation at times.

In the afternoon I felt really tired but went to CrossFit class anyway.
Later I thought the tiredness must have come from the greasy food with meat and no veggies that I had had for lunch.
What a difference from the way that I usually eat - and feel! - nowadays!

Thank you, Sammy!
Weight: 75.7 kg
Sleep: 7.5 hours
Eating
B: as usual
L: as usual
D: tofu, tomato paste, pickles, 2 slices of whole spelt bread with butter, big bowl of muesli, 3/4 banana, 1/2 soft pretzel with small bits of cheese and butter, 3 tablespoons soy yogurt
Moving

7.300 steps
This afternoon I was on the verge of buying ice cream, cake and the like. I was hungry hours before my usual dinner time and had forgotten that I could just have a tea with half-and-half.
So I had a very early dinner in the afternoon and ate more than necessary.
Afterwards I felt like eating more. But when I took a walk with my daughter an overweight lady walked right in front of us.
That got me thinking: Is eating more now, just because I want to, worth it to me if being overweight is the price I have to pay?
So I stopped eating for the day.
What do I do if I feel the urge to eat cake and ice cream and sweet stuff tomorrow? Any advice?
Thank God we don't have it in the house (we ran out of chocolate hazelnut spread yesterday), otherwise I would have probably eaten it today.

Re: stickwithit check-in
That's great that you recognize that you may face that same temptation feeling.
I suggest that you have very delicious meals planned for tomorrow, and eat more than you might normally.
and..... keep anything tempting out of sight and stay out of the stores.

Re: stickwithit check-in
Too tired to post at the moment.
I am tired of the situation already. No playdates, playgroups, sports groups anymore. Even outdoor playgrounds have been shut down.
To make matters worse, it looks like they might give orders for people to stay indoors soon.
Had two red days this week. Back on track now.
