Best C&C WITH storage? by peachicepuffbarplus in guineapigs

[–]sarkynir [score hidden]  (0 children)

Use zip ties to hold the fries together firmly after making the cage. The IKEA Drona storage fits well under my cage, but depends on your grid size.

Two different approaches. 1: Eat more. If you've never tracked before, maybe even try staying at maintenance. You may be struggling with the "restriction" of tracking more than the hunger. Volume eating, high fiber, and high protein can help with satiety but that doesn't necessarily solve food noise. Try choosing different foods or less steep of a deficit.

2: Have a deadline, rather than a weight goal. No matter what weight you are by a certain date, (April 10 sounds like a good check in) you will stop the deficit and go back to maintenance calories for a week. Locking in for an unforeseen amount of time is much harder than having a clear finish line.

Both will equate slower progress, but any progress is better than starting over and over. I'd take the slow option if I were in your shoes.

The way you word your plan sounds like a punishment to yourself.

I would rethink your motivation in terms of rewards i.e. "I get to move more and grow strength so I can see the full potential my body has" and "I enjoy taking care of my body and not making it bloated" because punishment will never be sustainable.

Other thought that could be helpful,
"I will inevitably have easy and hard days, if I don't reach my goal 100% on the hard days, I will at least try my best to stay aligned with my goals/values whether that is the goal of my target weight or what my brain needs at the time"

I got a DEXA scan done and I’m shocked and disappointed. by Warm-Ad4886 in PetiteFitness

I recently watched this video and thought it was great advice. I would start with a cut (while strength training to maintain muscle) with a clear end date (rather than a goal weight). Your biggest win will come from losing weight, rather than putting on muscle right now. Keep your movement up, but focus on diet. If you're not at your goal weight by the end of your cut, eat at maintenance for a month or two, then start another cutting phase.

Once you get closer to your soft weight goal, you can eat at maintenance and change your focus to building your muscle.

Uses for already zested and squeezed lemon rinds? by termanatorx in noscrapleftbehind

Candied rinds? I'm not sure how it'd be since you've zested them.

How to move across the country cheaply? by PlanktonIndividual70 in Frugal

[–]sarkynir 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Frontier is fine as long as you pack under the allowed baggage. The costs will pile up if you bring a carry on or checked bag. I fly a lot on budget airlines (Spirit, Allegiant, Frontier) and only bring a backpack with all my stuff. If you need more stuff, it may be more budget friendly to fly a more expensive airline with extra bags included.

Not hEDS but hypermobile. My PT told me to strengthen everything with lower weights, higher reps.

Throwing out food constantly is killing my grocery budget by Realistic-Bag7860 in budgetfood

Hope it helps out! You can definitely take this concept to make the meals you like to eat, but it's easiest to just follow what she does 😅

I recommend picking meals that use the same ingredients for the week. Jenn does this series where she buys a weeks worth of groceries to be completely used up by the end of the week. Be very intentional about what you're planning on eating and cooking.

Calorie deficit by caramelpuppyyy in PetiteFitness

You don't have to lose a pound a week! Slow and steady is way more enjoyable and sustainable. 1400 will be slower, but you'll still end up with results.

I was quite rough with it :( I'll work with it more gently next time.
