Blogging without computer and noticing muscle gains

It's Sunday night and I had to wait for my husband to go to bed to be able to write this article on his computer because - as I said before on my Vlog - my own computer broke down on Friday.

I'm so glad I already had saved all my files and tomorrow morning I will be calling the company concerning the hard drive's warranty - until everything is solved I will then be reduced to check my e-mails and Facebook on other family member's computers which means, as I'm a graphic designer, I won't be able to work neither to make my Vlogs and stuff ... sigh ...

Okay, so let's talk about fitness and weight loss again so I can distract my mind a little.

(*clenches teeth because Myfitnesspal won't allow myself to connect via Facebook on this computer ...*)

Even though my weight loss progress scale wise is minimal and I can't really track my day neither on MFP nor on Habitica without having to log in and out every few minutes, I start to see progress. I really struggled with my farm work in the past few week but finally my body seems to have adapted to it. I need to take 1-2 days off per week, but I'm no longer at the limits of my strenght and endurance everytime so I gain hope for the future.

My plan is to add more of the following to my daily activities: gardening (yummy healthy food), dancing, strenght training.

The Nerdfitness challenge ends today and I'll have a whole week to decide on new goals and I will definetely start in incorporationg more exercise into my day via the mentioned activities.

I also will find a way to cut out grains more and more and restricting my snacks even more, starting to pay attention to my macros. What the exact goals will be to achieve this is not yet decided though.


I think I'll leave you with this short update for today - you might read more on Wednesday because even though the challenge has ended, I will update here twice a week as usual.

Thanks for your support - please give me a +1 or leave me a comment if you like what I write to show me you're there.

Yours,

Computer problems so no videos in the next weeks

Sticky goals

Although I really had a stressful day where only little went as I planned I'm just amazed about how well my goals have worked out. I started creating those really small lifestyle changes in November - relying on what I had learned throughout the year before.

Many adjustments had to be made - I was really glad of finding out about habitica - a RPG-style habit creator where I can make lists, rewards, challenges etc. it's really fun and definetely helps me to keep track - I can't imagine where I'd be without it.

My Habitica today

In focusing only on small changes I seem to have learned more about myself and really started to change. I was able to stick to all of my daily goals today with very little effort and even though I felt depressed and longed for food to fight the feeling in the afternoon.

I realize what Steve Kamb is talking about building an antifragile system now and that those things really exist.

I'll leave you with only these short words for today, I'm tired but in a good way: we just finished gaming night playing League of Legends and I hope I'll be able to edit and upload the next Vlog tomorrow as I've recorded it already last Saturday.

All the best to everyone!
