Chipotle Canada Always Comes Through, Super Busy At Work

Barely getting this upload out because I just finished the busiest day of the year at work, and I didn't even get a chance to eat a lunch or walk or even workout. I just want to get this upload out by any means because I'm not about to end this daily streak that I'm on. Still In A BIG calorie deficit despite eating our. I've been keeping my Chipotle orders simple and weighing everything out IN the restaurant to stay on point while adding no sauces; thankfully the food isn't dry lol.

My body fat is starting to fight back

For anyone who was here in the very beginning I went through a phase where my body weight kept going up because I was only eating 1,500 - 1,900 calori3s. I was genuinely in starvation mode. I upped my calories and the weight started dropping again. Right now I feel like I'm back at that point, because it doesn't make sense that I could be in such a deep deficit yet the scale goes up. However, this time I'm eating more and I weigh less, so all I can do is just trust the process and believe that I'll see the residuals of the current deficit in a few weeks time. I know this fact but it's still demotivating looking at the chart trending up. Can't wait until this period is just a memory I can look back on, because this is NOT fun lol.

Trying Out A New Exercise - Halos??

Truthfully I ended up eating about 200 calories more than I wanted, which falls eight in line with that serving of chips that I tried. I also could have went lighter on the cheese earlier in the day, ate less buffalo tenders, etc...I had a whole bunch of ways to meet my caloric goal. Was still in a deficit but I need my deficits to be deeper, so I really need to lock in tighter on the nutrition. Thankfully I'm out of chips to try so I should be in the clear lol. Also, shout-out to Skye Mackintosh for the inspiration for this exercise; I still have some work to do on the form but I can see myself doing this for fun at home.

Trying out a new step-tracker

Shout-out to YOUNG DON for showing this step tracker on his videos because I've really been thinking about switching up how I track my steps. I've actually started NOT holding things upright in my left hand because I'm scared of my steps not tracking, and I even started to not push shopping carts because my fitbit wouldn't count any of the steps. One day in and I'm seeing just how many micro-steps / hand-waving is adding up on my steps that really shouldn't be counted, and I feel like I'm going to prefer this method long-term. It's either this or a Garmin watch truthfully, we'll see how it goes.

Day 2 of Eating Lower Calories

I felt like (outside of the chips) I made some really good choices today, yet the calorie count still would have been 2,300 without the chips. Goes to show how hard it is to still get 200g of protein while cutting calories back significantly. This requires eating a ton of lean proteins; just eating something high in protein isn't enough because the fats and the carbs will creep up on you and take away the entire deficit. I'm thinking rhat I'll have to start eating fish so that I can get a good amount of protein for very little calories, and still have room to snack on Drizzilicious daily like I've been doing lol. The journey continues!

Reducing calories even further, big calorie deficit

Maybe I'm just being impatient, but I feel like I should still be getting enough food to fuel growth even if I'm in a 1,600 calorie deficit. I'm not planning on keeping this level of deficit long term, I just want to get to the high 220's and then re-evaluate. Of course I might change my mind, but I'm thinking a good 6 weeks of this deficit should get me there. If it takes me 8 weeks instead then that means I've been tracking my deficit wrong to begin with. This means I'm going to increase my daily step count so that I have the room to eat more food instead of starving; I still need to perform at work and in the gym so I ened to stay fueled up.

Grinding for 3 hours to meet my step goal

I genuinely have to thank old Jevvy for starting this video series because the thought of having to publish that I did nothing and ate junk all day just rubs me the wrong way. This series has become my own motivation because I have a deep feeling of shame having to make excuses and explain myself while I'm still obese. I genuinely look forward to the day when I hit my goal and I can upload myself doing something casual without worrying about "guilt" but maybe the guilt is what's keeping me going. Whatever, that's not continues right now because that's still very far kfd. The journey continues.

Frustrated with Carbonaut Baking Nutritional Labels

I love their products, but it becomes insanely painful trying to track their food because you need to add up the proteins, carbs and fats to find the true calorie count yourself. There has been times when I've logged their oat bread and I realized that my tracking is off by HUNDREDS of calories. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone really complaining about this online but I might as well by the change that I want to see. Hopefully they do something about it soon so I can eat their products without inducing anxiety about how many extra calories I have to add.

My Local Costco Canada Finally Dropped The Chipotle Chicken

I'll be honest, the American version LOOKS a little more appetizing but I'm still happy for this either way. Easy way to put together chicken bowls while hitting my macros, plus I suck at actually COOKING chicken so the less cooking the better lol. I haven't tried it yet but as I lean out the diet more, this will be a huge help.

The chips is a huge regret. I need to learn to eat far less of it, or I need to eat nothing but lean protein throughout the day to give myself the room to eat SOME chips. Still, it's tough to keep a big deficit with ANY sort of Snacking that's not fruit based.

High Protein Chicken Parm and Macro Friendly Empanadas

I'll be honest, I think I'm addicted to the chicken parm dish. It requires no prep and no real cooking, just an air fryer...which means it's perfect for me lol. My problem with food is that when I like something I'll eat it over and over, so who knows for how long I'll keep eating this dish lol. I'll just say from now that tomorrow's video will have nearly the same meal for breakfast again lol. Also thinking about cutting my calories lower again for bigger deficits just so I can really push to the 230's properly. That would mean like 1,600 calorie deficits instead of the 1,000 I'm doing now, which could be I'll advised. I'll make up my mind another time.
