~Hopped, skipped, and fumbled right into Onderland~
So, I wasn't expecting this weeks weigh in to show a loss, but am by no means complaining. I also worked out yesterday and forgot to take motrin. Forgetting to take my motrin before a work out is rare, so this tells me the whey protein shakes are helping with soreness, although I'm definitely feeling sore today.
I don't know how many folks out there use a recumbent bike, but for reference, level 12 will kick your butt! The first 2 times doing level 12 all the way through my 30 minute cycle, I owned it. But, by the third day of my work out cycle, it's safe to say, it felt like level 12 owned me! Today is a much needed break day between workout cycles and I can feel the muscles in my arms and legs screaming, "on all that is holy, thank you!!!" A nice hot shower will hopefully help, too.
I have also incorporated the 18:6 intermittent fasting approach into my weight management program. The funny thing is, I was already doing it and didn't even realize it. Since, I only eat two meals a day there's usually always at least 12 hours in there where I'm not eating. This habit actually came about during the grad school years, when I had to come straight home from work, brew a pot of coffee, and get straight to reading. Dinner was an interruption and too time costly so I just skipped it and ate breakfast and lunch. So, extending the 12 hours to 18 hours now is pretty simple since my last solid meal ends at 1:00 p.m. on the weekdays and the next solid meal resumes the next day at breakfast. On the weekends, when I do eat breakfast and dinner, but no lunch I just make sure to wait until 9:30 to prepare my first meal. It's probably not as consistent as a rigid 18:6, but I've already had many years of 24 hour fasting experience when I did hatha yoga. It definitely helped when I did it, but NOT fasting at the same exact time every weekend didn't seem to impact whether I gained or lost and it is obviously not impacting it presently doing an 18:6. I appreciate standards, but I also like to play with them :-)
With that being said, I will not be weighing in next Sunday. My mother and I are moving our "fatter-day" to Saturday this week to celebrate her Birthday and as hard as it is not to continue witnessing the results of weight release, the cardinal rule still stands, "never weigh yourself after a splurge day, because the results will always be skewed by the amount of sodium intake and water retention from the splurge."
I will however weigh myself the weekend after next and it won't surprise me if I go up and down in onederland for a bit, even after following the program. After reading several journal entries, staying on a steady downward loss in onederland seems initially challenging before the body readjusts. So, it may be something I need to learn to expect and accept.
Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone!
