One thing that's been bothering me for some time now is anxiety - just general anxiety, I can't say it's about anything specific. I've been trying some relaxation techniques and meditation, but I also think starting to exercise again will help somewhat. It's been ungodly hot lately - perhaps you've heard about all the bush fires in Australia right now - so I confess I haven't been exercising much in the last couple of weeks, but I'm hoping to get back at it in the coming week. I've always had trouble eating right AND exercising at the same time - I seem to be able to manage one or the other but not both. Let's see how we go next week.
I'm still keeping to 1000-1100 calories on average each day, which at my weight isn't really much, especially if I throw exercise into the mix, but we'll take it day by day and see how we go. I'm that frustrated with my weight loss struggles that I really wanted to make a go of this low calorie plan, but I admit I'm also worried about messing with my already messed up metabolism. I know that dieting causes weight problems more often than it solves them, but I also know I have to get this weight off if I want to avoid diabetes. So ... what to do? For now I'll keep doing what I'm doing.
Hope you all had a great week. :)

.6kg is still excellent. Probably expected after such an awesome drop before that week. Maybe next weigh in it will be over a kg. Whose shakes are you using?
Thanks. I have used two, FatBlaster (chocolate) and Musashi's Soy Protein shake. I was using the Soy Protein one at first because I'd rather avoid whey / dairy as much as possible, and being higher in protein and lower in carbs, I liked how my percentages looked on that one - but in truth, it's really just a protein shake - the FatBlaster one was designed as a meal replacement so it's got a lot of vitamins and minerals. Also it tastes better and mixes better - I find the Musashi one doesn't completely dissolve so you get little clumps of powder in the shake.
Well done. I haven't lost any weight in forever, but then my eating has been off the charts, and I'm not exercising, so no big mystery there.
I've been toying with intermittent fasting. But not fully embarked on anything in a long while. :)
