I've been walking on the treadmill before doing my weight lifting. I tried running today but it was rough, I ended up on a stationary bike which felt a lot better, but I want to get good at running. ## Dieting Rules +My intention with these rules is to be stricter with my diet and incentivize healthier choices, while avoiding detailed calorie counting and being miserable. I figure if I write them down it's easier to hold myself accountable rather than keeping only the vague idea of them in my mind. Most of my bad eating comes from sweets and sugary drinks, so I am reducing my intake of those. So far these rules have been working well for me, I am down a few pounds and also not miserable or craving junk food, which I will consider a win. These rules will be adjusted based on how things are going in a few months. + - Chips and similar carb-heavy snack foods are allowed, but in a limited amount and eaten alongside a meal, never eaten alone. - Dinner is the final food of the day, no snacking afterward -- Fast food (usually Taco Bell) is allowed once per week +- Fast food (usually Taco Bell) is allowed once per week, but be mindful of caloric intake - Zero-sugar sodas only -- Prefer zero-sugar beverages in general, but the occasional lemonade or juice is ok +- Prefer zero-sugar beverages in general, but the occasional lemonade/juice/milkshake as a treat is ok - Avoid caffeine after 3pm + ## Focus Areas - Improving my max weight on overhead press
