WeightIn30 – Day 12

Moved here when Typeshare failed me. I’m done with stupid AI features startups are sprinting towards, rendering the product unusable.

What has it been, 14 years?!

I intend to write everyday now, and I need a reliable friend! And here we are!

So before we start, let me tell you I’ve been on this journey of finally writing down about my weight loss exercise, after nearly 25 years of struggling with extra weight. It has been the center of my self esteem and I will paste the earlier posts shortly so that we have better context here.

Day 12:

I have a feeling I am going to put in weight. I’ve understood why now. Over the past 2 days I’ve been unmindful of what I was eating at lunch. That meant ‘reckless abandon’ into carbs, leading to some pulihara on day 11 and yesterday a brownie!! It was waaay too sweet, but I kept eating and didn’t bother to even compensate with fiber.

And that’s it. I was feeling hungry again at 3. This is the very vicious circle I need to avoid, which can simply be met with a small amount of fiber like cucumber or a fruit afterwards. This is easy to fix. But not so easy to be mindful of.

Performance:

1. IF: it was very hard to continue after 13 hours, I was unable to concentrate at work. My focus now is on extending that torture from 1 hour to 1.5 hours. Usually it doesn’t happen before 14 hours but yesterday was different. Cleaning the guy (aka pooping) seems to create a massive difference in tolerating IF. Undecided on how I should feel about guy cleaning.

2. Fiber: bad bad bad. No fiber at afternoon == no weight loss. Rule of my life.

3. steps: only managed 4.8k steps. This is a good reminder that even a 20 min walk while on the phone can get to 6.5k steps, it’s not hard at all, just mindfulness required to make a choice.

4. CrossFit: leg workout done. Hoping the back is ok for burpees on Saturday.
