I wanted to jot down a couple more thoughts about the macro tracking stuff! 1) Eating the same foods frequently makes macro tracking much easier. (I think I said this already recently.) 2) The hardest part isn't actually getting in all that protein, it's getting in all that protein without going over on carbs or… Continue reading Couple more misc. macros thoughts
Week One: ✅ I'm feeling really proud of myself, now one full week into this January Shred program I'm doing!! I've stuck to my prescribed macros every day, and for the first time in a million years, I hit my workout plan 100%. I did have to shift a couple workouts around, but no big… Continue reading A successful first week and Apple+ Fitness!
So, I just got off my first ever Best of Both Worlds Patreon monthly Zoom meet up, which was all about healthy habits, tracking stuff, etc..... i.e. MY JAM!! But I had never attended one of these before, so for some reason, I felt super nervous about actually talking and showing my face to a… Continue reading Whyyyy am I like this???!
1. I am feeling pretty good about my progress on my "Christmas To Do List"! I am especially happy that I think we're in solid shape on gift buying- I think better than we have been on December 9th in past years. I'd say we're almost done with the boys, minus maybe a couple of… Continue reading Friday 5: Christmas to-dos, time blocking and meals
Okay, I'm not sure if "hack" is really the right word. But bear with me. I've not been tracking macros or anything specifically lately. I also am not on any official mission to "clean up my diet" or anything, either. But in the past couple weeks, I have found myself trying to sort of intuitively… Continue reading A current diet “hack” that’s working pretty nicely for me
I just wanted to share a few things that I ate this week that are hits for me. 1. Tuna + pico de gallo mix This is a favorite "quick healthy eats" option for me. Last night Ivan had plans to meet an old co-worker for drinks, there was just enough leftover pasta for 1… Continue reading Friday food edition
First of all, just a note to say that I'd forgotten how summertime is kind of....chaotic. It is very nice to have the boys home. I like seeing them more. But, even though they are older and things are much, (MUCH) easier now, having them home still throws me off a bit. Especially at first… Continue reading Summer w/ kids home + a recipe I like
Okay! Will try to blab on less today and just share some stats. I started tracking on Monday. I'll try to list the approximate times I ate, too, if I can remember. Reminder- P= protein, F= fat, C= carbohydrates. My daily "goals" were: P 127, F 50, C 134, ~1,500 calories Monday Daily Totals:Calories: 1,477119P/… Continue reading My meals of the week (with macros)
1. Hunger cues I've noticed something interesting whenever we travel. I typically always "lose a little weight". (Not a lot or anything, but I tend to feel just a little trimmer and slimmer than usual when we get home. Which always surprises me, because I do not watch what I eat at all when we… Continue reading Hunger cues/ constant eating! And dinner
Feeling kind of tired/ blah this morning. I stayed up until 11 pm working on volunteer related preparations for yet another home hosted swim meet coming up the weekend of February 18-20. It's a big one, too- Regionals. Typically Regionals are not hosted by our team (we always just attend at a different pool) but… Continue reading Tired, the week, etc.
GRATEFUL KAE
