[Coldrun Fitness] Level 16: Counting

Calorie-counting without attempting specific change.

TW: food, calories

 

 

For this level, and probably the next level too, I'll be working on counting calories.

This won't be forever since it's a huge pain in the ass and it's wildly inaccurate. Probably will try this for a week or two - once to get a general sense of how much I'm eating, and again to get a general sense of where I can cut back without really impacting my hunger.

Felt really good about this week, specifically about how I ate lunch or dinner in most days. It was a challenge but didn't feel overwhelming. Maybe this is what building a habit feels like.
