January was more of a level setting month. It's my starting point to get back on track to reach my Marathon Weight (180lbs).
I started the month feeling the impacts of the holiday season.
Lots of food.
Lots of sweets.
And lots of drinking.
My average weight for December was 208.3lbs. But that was a 3lb weight gain from November.
And my weight was well over 208lbs for most of the second half of December.
At the beginning of the January, I weighed 212.4 lbs. But my average for January was 209.2lbs.
So, in the end my average weight only increased by almost a pound between December and January.
I've got a few tools to use in February.
I'm going to try some of the Glucose Goddess hacks: Eat a savoury breakfast. Have a tablespoon of vinegar a day. Start with the veggies. Move for 10 minutes after one meal.
I'm also going to try to be better with getting to bed earlier. I tried this before. And getting a good night's sleep does seem to help with the weight loss.
Maybe it's because you're more in tune with your circadian system?
Maybe it's because your will power is strong when you aren't tired?
But I saw an improvement in my weight loss when I was getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night.
I'm also going to be exercising more this month. I've got the Around the Bay run coming up. So, my "long" runs will be getting longer.
Full disclosure: I'm behind in my training. But getting more sleep might allow me to get in some runs before I have to go to work.
It's all related.
I will still do a little time restricted eating. In the form of holding off eating until noon or later. So, my "breakfast" will be around lunch time. Which makes it easy to have a savoury breakfast!
I've got a plan. Now, let's see if I can execute it!
