Days 17 of 90
Goal of this challenge: Simply to tally how well I do sticking to my diet plan over the next 90 days.
Good days: 12
So-so eating: 3
Off the mark: 2
~~~~~~~~~~
Late snacks: 5
Tuesday was almost an exact rinse and repeat of the day before -- macros good across the board and no snacking. I'm back to eating a lunch at work for the first time in nearly 2 years. I've also been satisfied with eating considerably less food in the evenings. Maybe this is no coincidence. I'm considering the possibility of skipping breakfast to build in an 18 hour fast most days. I tried OMAD last summer and it didn't work out well. I had bad eating days all over the place. Eating breakfast and dinner worked better for me. However, I've never tested the waters with having only lunch and dinner as a daily routine. Maybe that will work even better.

This year's 10K is done. I trained well. My legs are quite fit. After the previous 2 10Ks my "training" came to an end. My exercise routine reverted back to daily walking until the following winter when I felt the need to start training for the next spring 10K. Cardio is not my favorite thing, at least not the way I was doing it. The plan for this year is to keep up the cardio at least once or twice a week. But rather that train hard, shooting for the 'red zone' with the workouts, I'll dial it down and work out in the lower end of the cardio heart rate spectrum. I read a good article about this technique...
Want Speed? Slow Down!
It's worth a try. Who knows? Maybe I'll come to enjoy cardio if I am not pushing the limits. In any case, if I keep up some cardio, then I won't lose any ground before next year's 10K.
