From alpha testing to the QUERCUS 200

Cooeeee!
 
Hi! I've been working in the field a ton. I've done better the last couple of days and I've expressed my struggle to E and some friends which expands my accountability a bit. I'm happy to be out in the woods so much, but I need help. We are making an offer to someone today so hopefully I can come up for air soon.

Thanks for checking in!
 
I'm glad you spoke up Q & hope you are able to get some breathing space soon. Even when you're not about we are thinking of you (& Vee. I wonder how he's going.) Hugs to you xo
 
Thanks LaMa!
Thanks Cate!

I'm still treading water, but I'm hoping we'll have someone soon. Today is 110 on the runstreak. I hope you're both doing great! It would be great to have Vee back, but I know he's out there kicking butt!
 
110 on the run streak? Not bad for just treading water Q. I know Vee's out there kicking butt. I researched him (read stalked :D) & saw he's doing well. It's good to know. I do feel we are a good community. How's E doing?
 
I'd stalked a little too Cate. E is well. We are both still struggling at work. Today is day 150 of my runstreak and E is on day 1,292. My weight and eating aren't great, but we are trying to create boundaries with our jobs that reduce our stress. The hope is that this makes it easier to take control of our eating habits again.
 
It is so much harder to eat healthy when you are under stress. So much of our lives are spent at work. It's a shame that you are both struggling at work. & I hope that you are both able to create those boundaries & improve things there. Good for the 2 of you continuing on with your running. 1292 days for E? WOW! Well done, E. Lots of love to you both & I hope things pick up for you xo Cate
 
Hi LaMa! Hi Cate!

Still no relief on the work front. Today is day 179 of the run streak. It's also day 4 of a six week diet to get me away from th rd processed garbage I've been eating. I'm reading Eat to Live and it's how we were eating when I was losing fat and feeling good, but better. I've had some low energy moments, but I feel better than before already. After the 6 weeks I will probably try to do a 90/10 split keeping the very strict diet most of the time, but allowing for cheats to keep me sane. I can't imagine how tough this diet would be coming from an omnivoris diet because it's a challenge without meat and dairy to give up. I don't know how often I'll be posting, but I'll update on progress at least occasionally.
 
I'm sorry that the work stresses haven't eased, but it's good to hear that you have started a new health plan. It's lovely hearing from you, Q whenever you post xo C
 
LaMa I'm feeling better and it's working!

Thanks Cate! We have an interview lined up for an entry level person which is better than nothing if they work out.

So -15.4 pounds in 5 days! Monday AM 305.4 and Saturday AM 290.0. No wonder I felt bad. I've adapted quite a bit already and feel really good compared to the week prior to the diet. I hope the weight loss stays rapid for a chunk of the 6 weeks, but It's really about establishing a great permanent change not as restrictive as the 6 weeks, but based in plant-based whole foods with an emphasis on raw veggies and fruits. I can't believe I got back above 300, but that's behind me now.
 
15.4 pounds in 5 days? That´s incredible! Even if half of that´s water, it´s still an enormous amount :eek: I´m sure I don´t have to tell you but *puts calorie police cap on* please don´t try to keep up quite that kind of speed. Congratulations though!
PS: fingers crossed that the interview will turn out great and your new colleague picks up on things VERY quickly.

15.4 lbs in 5 days? Whaaaaat? The calorie police deputy also puts her cap on & says steady on there Q. Mind you, I am jealous/envious. If only we could just twitch our noses & it's gone. I hope having a new worker alleviates the stress somewhat :)
 
Lots of water weight, but when you're running lighter is lighter. It's been a massive reduction in sodium and calories.

It's "Eat to Live" by Joel Furhman if you want to check it out.
 
I will. Thanks, Q. I just ordered it from the library.
