Took the plunge on this journey last week after getting results from my annual physical. Have never enjoyed eating fruit/veg but also never ate what I considered to be poorly (avoided fried food and don’t comsume sodas/sugary stuff). Thought I was being healthy but numbers showed otherwise.

To preface, I’m a numbers guy, so a series of specific, quantitative, short term goals typically work better for me than long term qualitative goals.

Did some basic research and found that one pound of fat equates to about 3,500 calories. My macro goal is a 30 lb reduction, but my specific micro goal is a 2 lbs a week reduction. Broken down further to 1,000 calories a day burned in excess of what I consume (7,000/week). Found an app that I could use to track calories of everything I eat vs what I burn.

Two biggest things I’ve noticed so far:

1.) It’s incredibly hard to consume 1,000 calories of fruit/veg/whole grains without getting full first. Sounds obvious but didn’t click for me until I started tracking what I was eating.

2.) Alcohol has a lot of calories when you’re not thinking about it. I was consuming probably 500-600 a day just in booze, so have cut drinking from Mon-Thurs (no chance I’m not having toddies on the weekend).

I wonder if anyone has any tips for deciding how to edit her closet now that we’re in a hybrid work environment.

I am an unabashed Marie Kondo follower and The Home Edit fan girl. However, when trying to figure out what items to keep vs donate, I’m finding it hard to figure out what to do with my mini wardrobe of ‘pre-pandemic’ business wear. The old rule of ‘get rid of it if you haven’t worn it in a year’ just doesn’t work when the last 2 years I swapped my sheath dresses for sweat pants.

confession: Today I got a little too aggressive on the pint of ice cream in the freezer that only had a few bites in it.

Wife had no idea when she opened it after dinner. My life has come to sneaking treats and I don’t know how to feel about it.
