Fiberoptic's Journal, 16 February 2021

I am finding myself impatient again. There is no significant drop again now for a few days. My fault if I am eating the calories earned by exercising.(the over 500)

I proved that I could eat well on a 1200 calorie diet as I did throughout January and perhaps doing it a couple times a week and staggering calories so i don't plateau would be an idea. With FS I am losing the same overall as I did before calorie counting. My nutrition app gave me some idea and making better decisions overall to that end helped immensely and naturally. I have a good idea of a menu that will be varied and balance out when I weigh in weekly or so just to make sure that I am heading in the right direction.

I will continue to walk for my 10,000 steps daily and do cardio for 30 minutes for health reasons but will only do addition when the fancy strikes. I do want to slim down even more and I will whether in two months or two years, but I won't obsess with it. I have proven to myself that I can do what I put my mind to. I have made great strides and learned a lot since my stroke one year ago. I also learned that life is short so enjoy it! I hope that everyone will put their health and happiness ahead of vanity (and gorging) and make better choices going forward in all aspects of their lives.
