Oh friends. I have been doing so well. The lifting, the steps and the calorie deficit, even since starting back at work last week. I lost an inch and lost a pound last month. Only 4 more pounds to lose to hit my goal! However, I went over on calories today. I ate a grilled chicken sandwich with fries for lunch AND had a bagel with cream cheese for dinner. An everything bagel. It was delicious. I felt super hungry today and it was one of those days where vegetables seemed utterly unappetizing. So tomorrow is back to work, real work and gym work, AND next meal normal. 4 more pounds and a lot more muscle to go. I can do it!!

There are so many fires around the country and we keep getting new ones here in Utah. Yesterday, a new fire started near my home. I am hoping everyone stays safe. Prayers welcome. The first couple pictures are from the street at the side of my house. We were watching the flames come and go and the planes dropping water and fire retardant.

and failed big 😅 I love running because my mind/brain goes quite. When I tried to run slower my brain said hello. Like when you try to sleep and your mind is running a mile per minute. Thinking about everything. So today I kept my pace I'm comfortable with. Will give it another try.

We've currently an heatwave going through Germany and its over 30 Celsius or over 80 degrees (hope thats right). I have sport on my plan today. My fitnessstudio has no air-conditioning. How do you manage to do sport in such a heat without air-conditioning? I'm trying to motivate myself to do some sport today. 😅

It's rater difficult for me. I know what I have to do, but sometimes living it is another story. Last week I started again to track my food seriously. I knew I was eating to luch calories because my weight either stayed or increased. Turns out I was eating like 200 to 300 kcl per day more than I should for losing weight. I'll focus on my mealprep and tracking my food properly to lose the weight I want. For me its a tiny win to understand this better and knowing how to go forward. Will there be difficult days? Yes, but as I learned. One the is not the end.
