I just realized something.
I’m officially 70 lbs down today since last summer.
How did I do it?
-CICO.
-Realizing I didn’t have to have “cheat” days. (That, to me, has a negative connotation.). I did what I have said before.. usually indulging without overindulging.
-I didn’t beat myself up if I went over on calories or took a day or two away from a workout. I just got back on track. After getting back on track, I figured out that those “off” days were/are needed.
-I realized that food wasn’t my enemy. I was. Food doesn’t have emotions. I do.
-I stopped (recently) unintentionally chasing a calorie burn number. I focus on making the best of each session.

Congrats! Yep, CICO and allowing delicious treats in moderation. I also quit focusing on a certain burn amount. A consistent intake is easier and more accurate.

Great job! I love CICO. It works for me and is the easiest thing I tried. 70#! Wow! 😁

Yeah I don’t count burned cals either. It’s too much unknown math and variables. Congratulations on the 70lbs!

Thanks, Peeper! 😊 It’s been a journey. And, to be honest, I’m doing a “yay” me dance on the inside while trying to play it cool. 🤣

You deserve that ‘yay’ dance lol. I did a little one myself when I saw 123 on the scale again today lol.

04 May 20 by member: peeperjj

Thanks Bahs!😊 I still log morning intervals but I used to be heavily focused on the numbers that the machine said so I pushed when I shouldn’t have. I would feel disappointed in myself if I didn’t hit a certain number. I sacrificed form and made it so much more difficult. I was setting myself back. Didn’t even realize it until I started working out at home. Lol Peeper! And 123 is certainly a yay dance, too!

Great going on your journey. I also follow CICO and it was a great relief to know nothing is off limits. Those are great realizations. I love the food doesn't have emotions. Dance away

Thanks Tatauu!😊 It does give a certain feeling of freedom!

I found if I do a weekly goal it's easier to follow. If I go over my calories I spread it over the remainder of the week
