Do you have a Aria Scale? This way it's possible to know your weight / body fat %. When weighing around the same time (best in morning after being to the toilet..) for the best reading.

 

Even when weighing at the same time, there are natural fluctuations like hormones, possible water upkeep (eaten to much salt), food remnants of previous day(s) still in our body..

 

While weight can stay the same, or only went down or up a little bit.. this can be due the natural fluctuations, and because when muscles are growing stronger, they weigh more overall..

 

Body fat can have dropped (weighing less), due muscles getting stronger this weight loss can have mostly been compensated by the increase in muscle mass, while weight stays about the same. This means getting leaner and thats a good sign.

 

Don't focus on the weight alone..

 

Because of dehydration, inflammation,.. standing on the scale a bit differently.. the reading can vary a little bit.. it's possible to use URL: https://trendweight.com/ , to see a trend over time rather than the number on the scale.


The scale can show for example 20% of body fat one day, then in a day can display 18% and the day after go back up.. and down again.. when used to measure progress it's awesome (check where the trend goes to), not letting get discouraged by the daily weight / body % number..

 

The trend can go lower even when the number on the scale is a bit higher than the day before..

 

It's possible to see your trend for (weight / body fat % / body fat mass / and lean mass.

 

Tip: When using a food plan, it's usefull to see food habits, to incorporate more foods which are nutritient rich, lower in calories and making satisfied for longer (eating less overall). (Fruits, vegetables, eggs, cheese, lean meat (chicken, fish..).

 

Eat anything you desire in moderation.

 

When not feeling hungry / getting hungry, try not to eat more even when a food plan says 'you can eat x hundreds calories more) but actually not being hungry yourself.. our bodies can be perfectly happy with lots less when having all nutritients it has in the moment.

 

Base food portions on how hungry you feel, eat with non dominant hand to eat slower, chew food in smaller bits and enjoy the taste.. this way it's possible to notice faster being satisfied, chewing properly so our bodies can digest food more easily and absorb more nutritients of the same food.. possibly leaving food on the plate (when fast eating, there can be no food left on the plate, taking more.. and possibly feeling 'stuffed' later on)..

 

Aim to nourish your wonderful body when it's hungry with the food.. it wants in the moment (what looks the most appealing?) this salad.. or a piece of cake.. or something else?

 

Because of eating  what you desire rather than eating just to eat, it leads to be more satisfied quicker since you wanted that food in the first place, otherwise when eating to eat, even when not being hungry after, there's a craving to still want to have the food originally wanted, eating the food anyway,.. when eating the food you truly want, your not going to eat the food your body didn't want.. eating less calories overall..

 

Never forbid any foods, that can lead to cravings, possibly eating more of it when getting the chance rather than having some in moderation, even if it's just for the taste (rather than eating because of being hungry) or the craving is there to have some of the food.. when not feeling hungry, be aware and allow to have just because you desire to eat (for the taste..).. and try eating more when starting feeling hungry again..

 

When honoring our bodies by not eating out of boredom, loneliness.. but to nourish in the moment with what it needs (what makes it feels most satisfied in the moment, when feeling hungry?), when eating nutritient rich foods mostly (and allow to have anything else in moderation), our bodies naturally revert back to it's natural weight range (without counting calories).

 

The weight range is determined by genetics, food choices, exercise.

 

Exercise because it's fun, not for the calories it burns.. don't take it to the extreme: I have eaten nothing at all today,.. but every time I eat, must burn with doing exercise.. burning more with exercise..

 

When being more active, naturally our bodies are craving for more energy and being more hungry than otherwise. Allow yourself to eat more when feeling more hungry, 'cause it's a signal our body needs more energy / food.

 

Aim being at a healthy weight / body fat % range rather than a fixed number. Heart

Good may to be accountable. After the week is done you can evaluate how you did and tweek a few things but I think it is a good idea to have a plan set up not just for your food but your activities too. I hope it is a successful week!

I think it's a great idea to fill up your week with pre-assigned workouts, since you have already found the time to squeeze them into your day. Also, dogs are always great companions when it comes to workouts, I wish my dogs were not as crazy on the street or we'd be out every day Smiley LOL
