Checking in at 1,797 steps so far today. That's more than 200 per waking hour.

EDIT: LAMP.
did not read this whole thread, but I essentially have cut out all sugar that is possible for me to avoid from my diet, I've started lifting 4 times per week, eat things that make your gut healthier.
So my basic day looks like
Morning: avacado and pineapple smoothie, 20g of whey
afternoon: variable but seaweed and some sort of grilled shrimp or chicken, maybe a subway sandwhich.
evening: Salmon/Chicken, rice (pre packaged stuff because I'm lazy), broccoli/spinach.
Drink ONLY water, other than Kombucha or smoothies. No soft drinks, no beer, no sweet tea. water.
Maybe I'd drink green tea if I had it but I don't.
Since I've started this "diet" (don't really ever plan on coming off it) I have WAY more energy...way more, I feel better, more positive about life, healthier of course, and I'm absolutely shredding it in school. I take vitamin D supplements most days and a neutropic called Alpha Brain.
I've become kind of snobby though, every time I see someone drinking a coke I can't help but think "man I bet you hate being bloated" and when I see moms in the stores buying sugary shit for their kids I kinda just shake my head, but tbh I only see it at the checkout line because I literally only stop on the pasta/rice isle, the meat/seafood section, and the fruits/vegetables section.
Pretty much never see half the grocery store and my sections are usually not crowded. It's no wonder there are so many fat chicks on tinder...I swear 65% of the women on tinder are overweight....its gross.
uhmmm not much else to say, not drinking kind of sucks I miss going out and getting hammered but I think I'll live.

What ore packaged stuff are you talkin about? I’m lazy too and been traveling some so not able to get in a routine.
That's what weed is for.
I have been a runner for 20+ years, but I recently had an excema flare up on my foot that caused my heel to split open, so I purchased a single gear fixie bike that hasn't arrived yet. I'm hoping this will be a suitable replacement as I have gained about 10-15 bad pounds over the last 6 months or so. Getting old sucks.
Problem is weed makes me not motivated to do the rest of this stuff which takes discipline. Maybe once I feel really solid and in a groove I'll smoke a joint every now and then but not until I've achieved what I need.
Yeah that's a good plan. I would say weed is best consumed as an occasional reward for maintaining good living habits, and not as a living habit, unless you've already made it to the mountain top.
UPDATE: Sitting on my ass watching some chaulkies dominate, drinking some bourbon, after a cool 19,730 steps today. Hiked several thousand fathoms through the wilderness. Was glorious. I feel alive again.
I have always been someone that just started running whenever I needed to lose weight. Well the last few years every time I tried to run my knee would swell up. This has led me to being way too fat. I have started using the elliptical and swimming. The elliptical is cool because I can do an hour and still feel like working out after, but swimming is the truth.
TL;DR - try swimming.
I'm not a big drinker so it's not something I've had to think about yet. I imagine that when I know I'm going to drink I will adjust that eating window to open around 6 or 7 pm so I can drink what I want to for the next 8 hours.
I've got a friend doing it, tho, who usually has a drink or two every night and she just has those drinks during the time she can eat and has no problem with it.
Glad you are enjoying the IF and congrats on the weight loss!!!
Here is my diet that keeps my weight down.
Eat a banana on the way to work.
Get so f*cking busy at work I forget to eat.
Forget to eat on the way home because I'm cussing at other bad drivers
Eat a massive meal for dinner because I am starving.
For late night either bourbon or weed and several snacks (like to mix it up...no addiction here).
Rinse and repeat.

lol I start asking my coworkers at 9 where we are eating today. Then we debate for 90 minutes and then spend the other 30 minutes mulling around in a huddle near the elevator.
Great tip! I’ve never educated myself on nutrition and dieting, this was a good start.
I think that's weird. I absolutely have to eat. Not like a big meal or anything but I have to at least eat a sandwich or something otherwise my brain goes to mush.
I didn’t used to be like that, but something about having a lot of responsibility now has caused it. Need to be more disciplined though
Well at least you aren’t that sad bastard that goes into the break room to heat up a Lean Cuisine with a headset on.
I want to know who the hell can get filled up by 1 tiny ass lean cuisine? I have been forced to eat 2 at a time when I was a youngster too lazy to get to a taco bell. Even felt like I needed another 2 and I was a buck seventeen at the time.
Ate pasta last night, just wheat penne with meat sauce and felt like shit wtf... Guess I have to relegate that meal to post workout.
Down 10 lbs in the past month. Lamp

I can’t follow a diet. Too lazy when it comes to meal prep. Just eating less and trying to cut out all sweets since that’s always been my problem. Cut out all sodas in 2018 as well.
Also discovered the elliptical which I always thought was too girly to use, but it beats my knees killing me from running

My wife and I did Weight Watchers a few years ago and we did a one night deep dive into their points system and it worked out best for us, out of everything.
Our biggest problem was that Weight Watchers, to us, seemed set up to just enable people.
I have also recently discovered the elliptical. Josh Niblett works out in my gym and once I saw him on the elliptical I decided it was ok for me too.
What do you mean? That they only encourage people instead of trying to change habits?
I use t but I feel like I get more work done on a treadmill for some reason.
All else equal I prefer running too. I got up to being able to do around 7-8 Miles at a time a couple years ago and did a Ragnar Relay, but it just kills my knees.

No they have a "points system" where you can eat whatever you want you just have to log the points and don't overstep it.
Its basically an even simpler form of calorie counting. I felt like it wasn't getting to the root of our problems, which were pretty specific (cokes-her, stress snacking-me).
Definitely. I used to be able to focus and run a few miles day one and in a week I could run 4 or 5 miles easy. Unfortunately now when I run my knee swells up and then I can't do shit for at least a month.
Was just thinking how people like to say bread is bad for you lately. Wtf ever just hacked off a few slices of challah bread with butter to fill the gap in a subpar dinner. Good stuff. People have survived a long time on bread I’ll not tolerate it’s persectution.
Lol..lol,I just became 63 years old,top that younguns...!
That weirdo also waxes his butthole. That being said, elliptical are okay to use without shame.

Subpar dinner. Just like Jesus was when he was starving in the wilderness. Except you took the bread from Satan when he tempted you.
Nice knowin ya.
How y’all doing? I have been traveling but been trying to read up on intermittent fasting with Thomas delauer. Not sure how it works with them saying you can eat whatever..not that I’m going to..but we will see I guess.
