From alpha testing to the QUERCUS 200

Day four of doing right today. The hunger has faded quickly and I feel much better. I eat for comfort but it makes me feel bad overall. A couple days are rough and then I realize that I feel much better when I don't overeat. Run streak has been single miles while I adjust.
 
I'm glad you are settling back into a healthy routine Q. Comfort eating isn't much comfort is it? I do the same.
 
Thanks Cate, and no it isn't.

I'm doing well lately, but I have not been here much. Maybe when I feel more settled in a routine I can catch up here. I've lost 6 pounds this week. I'm slowly building up my running to get back to 30 minutes 6 times a week. I'm trying to stay much more active in the evenings and that's going well. Happy Friday WLF friends!
 
:) What Cate said. Also: while I´d be happy to have you on here more frequently again, don´t feel pressured. Take care of yourself.
 
Hi Cate and LaMa and thanks!

I'm doing well. I'm back into quite a few of my pants and a few shirts too. Yesterday was day 95 of the new runstreak.

I hope everyone is doing well!
 
Thanks Tru!

Thanks LaMa! I am past the struggle stage. I feel much better with my current diet and that solidifies my resolve in a way that no resolution or drive of willpower could achieve.

I made what I thought was a temporary change to remove processed foods from our diet and I immediately felt better. I'm guessing it was the tofu as it seems more likely than oil to be a problem and those are the only two things I ate daily that I cut out. My aches and pains are way less and I'm getting smaller without counting calories or weighing. That's a first for me and I love it.

:party: That's bloody awesome! :party:
I'm generally no good with tofu because soy but I'm glad it's just the processing part for you. Caught some trace of peanut earlier and spent some hours in agony, kind of afraid my stomach would rupture. Allergies do suck quite a bit, don't they?
 
Thanks LaMa! Soy in general is no good for me either. Tofu was just the only soy I was eating. I won't miss it. They certainly do suck.
 
:waving:Hi WLF friends! :waving:

I'm sorry to have abandoned you for so long. The weight's at 275 this morning an I am struggling to get back on track with not overeating in the evenings. I'm back up to 210 days for my runstreak. I still have a bit before I beat my 755 day streak. :rolleyes: I have added cycling to the daily routine and I've done that for at least a mile for the last 87 days. The back is doing well.

Work has gotten stressful and I now have ulcers, but I am slowly on the mend and I am doing really well at work.
 
Ulcers suck, no doubt about it. But I´d say your back doing well shows that you´re mainly taking good care of yourself. Which is also evidenced by the fact that you now weigh less than you did in March. Glad to have you back here :grouphug:
 
I am so happy to have you back Q!
Do you have stomach ulcers? That sucks that your work became so stressful. Has it settled?
Did I say that I have missed you? :D
 
QQQ????? Nice to have you back!! Sounds like you have been doing well ( except for the ulcers). Glad the back is good too!!
 
Thanks for the warm welcome LaMa, Cate, Hana, and Cowboy!

The ulcers suck, but they are getting better.

276 this morning. Not the best choices for snacking and dinner yesterday. I'm shooting for daily improvement rather than stern declarations. I'm trying to be nicer to me.
 
Yay for kindness. Definitely not enough of that around. And being kind to yourself can only be a good thing.

Me, too. I have been a little bit nasty to myself lately(fat pig etc) & that has to stop.
It's September here (7.55am) & this new month can see us all treating ourselves with all the love we deserve xo
 
Yeeeeah, Q is back!!!

The wife and I are living by the same mantra. I think we put too much pressure on ourselves by setting strict rules or goals for ourselves. We just realized that, at some point, we always fail when we do that so we decided to aim for improvement (in general) rather than set a specific standard by which we would inevitably judge ourselves.

Plus, on nights like tonight when I plan on eating a confusingly large amount of pizza, I won't feel like I'm "failing" - because I don't have a specific goal I intend on reaching.
