I used to love pump classes. I’m thinking about youtubing a class tomorrow and just doing with weights at home.
I’ve got a bar and 2 dumbells- what other equipment do you think?

Sounds good. You may want to think of creating a Zoom workout group. I’m an introvert by nature so I don’t need to be around other people to be motivated; but, I understand why some people do.
My sister has a weekly Zoom Happy Hour group to keep her sane since she lost both of her jobs. Luckily, she got the news early so she got her unemployment before the applications tsunami hit the state website.

Instead of counting down from 600+ hours I’ve got my stickies and broken them into 6 hour chunks. If I can get just from this 6 hour to the next 6 hour that would be perfect.
Time to re check my 'why’s. Stop and breath and know I am okay. Its actually okay to be hungry, not to be scared. There is so much emptiness that I fill with food. It really is a battle.

I hear you Jessica. The hunger thing is a difficult one for me. I have rarely felt hunger during these longer fasts, no hunger stomach pains. But one thing I have struggled with is an empty feeling in my stomach that is I guess I’ll say, uncomfortable. (But doesn’t make me rush for food)

Oh cool I will have a look into that thanks 
So I’ve had a lot of thinking time since not being able to complete the fast and decided I went in to hard too soon. I’ve been pretty nice to myself, not beating myself up. Just recognising that I may not be where I need to be but I’m pretty keen to get there. As of today I’m going to be doing OMAD but eating only in the morning around 9:30. In my head I feel like this could be like ‘training’ for fasting. On a usual day I wake up, have coffee, go to work and have no prob going through the whole day with no food. But when I get home I eat too much and the wrong foods, quick easy meals, have been having dessert daily, then grazing on crackers, lollies, cake and biscuits until I fall asleep. There is no surprise to why I’ve put on 20kg. I never get hungry in the morning, only at night time. 24 hour fasts are super easy for me. So what I’m going to do is challenge myself to 21 days of a new routine and see how that goes for me. Wake up, coffee, weights session at home ( small 10 to 15 min you tubes work outs), get daughter ready and walk to school ( 30 min walk), eat my Keto meal, shower and get ready for work. Then come home around 6:30pm and I deal with the hunger / feelings / emotions, knowing that I just need to hold out for a few hours, fall asleep and then I can eat around 9:30am. I’ve been reading and watching youtube about alternate day fasting and I believe that could be perfect for me. Once I do this 21 days I will look at starting that, a really nice healthy thought out nutritious meal once every few days should be fine while I try to get rid of these excess kilos!!!
I’ll join as an observer for Monday’s 5/25 session. Will you email me the Zoom link? I’ve got Zoom.
I like the idea of observing Monday as well, if thats possible? I assume you can Zoom on pc as well as smartphone? I’ll download to my pc if so
You only need Zoom if you are hosting. However, its free for 40 min sessions with a certain # of participants.

Yeah i see up to 100
Ive Just woken up with a bit of doms after my first weight session since mid Feb. Crazy how your body changes in such a short amount of time. At that stage I was training over 2 hours per day, I don’t want to give it that much time, happy to do 1 hour exercise daily.
Yesterday I ate my keto meal after my walk, I felt so full. I never eat usually at that time. Didn’t think about food all day but then I got in the front door after work and bam, it was a battle. I did some jigsaw puzzle and cuddled in bed with my daughter to keep my mind off eating, it’s getting so cold. I battled thoughts of giving up because it was the first day, can start again later, it’s cold, headache, can’t sleep and it’s my weekend off coming up I will struggle not grazing all day to pass the time. Very similar mind battle to when I’m water fasting. After 21 days keto will do some smaller, 5 day fasts. I was watching a YouTube yesterday of a dad and his daughter who went 32 days, she looked so different, not sure how much weight she lost. I’m not weighing myself for these 21 days. This Is more about seeing how my head feels and dealing with my emotions on a smaller scale and not when they feel too overwhelming.
