I am soooo happy for you! Feeling connected and being able to share is phantastic. And feeling home is real and precious.
I can adjust the intensity on the rowing machine from very light to high. And the heavier I push against the resistance, the more intense it gets. So, I can always choose a workout that is right for my daily form. So far, I have done 1 HIIT and 2 moderate workouts and I liked them both.
TW: depression
In 2024 and some of 2025, Iâve had a major depression and wasnât able to move at all for many weeks. On the darkest days, I couldnât even carry myself to the shower. It took quite a while to get back to a somehow normal life. So, for me, itâs a huge success that now I am starting to move my body again

Officially a month of mindful eating!
So happy with my choices. Mostly eating whole foods, but not going the other way and stressing over a piece of chocolate that my kid offers me. I feel like eating is just a part of my life, not some over-reaching influence that I have to control. I have been here many times before though, and then something changed and I was back to disordered eating. I wonder what to do, to keep this equilibrium.

1 keto
I need to reset my keto timer. I had way too many carbs yesterday to stay in ketosis, even sweets. It wasnât a planned exception, so Iâm resetting.
I need to find a way to disconnect watching TV and eating. Itâs such a bad habit and not eating mindfully is one way to overeating, binging and bad food choices.
So, Iâll reflect today what I need to replace this behaviour with a healthier setting.
Have a peaceful day, everyone

Watching TV and eating is one the worst habits I have, too. I didnât manage to figure out how to stop this behaviour, the cravings are too strong. There was time when I wasnât eating in front of the tell but I always slipped back to it 
Youâre right, I am far away from eating mindfully when I watch TV.. I also eat most of my meals during working hours and I will eat then whilst working (looking into my PC), so unless at a restaurant, I donât do mindful eating at all 
Most people I know donât eat mindfully. Itâs like a global bad habit 
For me, itâs very close to disordered eating. I literally never experienced binging without the TV involved. So I really want to let it go.
I remember how I quit smoking. I wasnât really addicted to it, it was also a bad habit. One day, I made a clear decision to quit. Not moderate, no excuses. Black or white smoking or no smoking. It was sometimes hard, but it became easier quickly.
Iâm trying to do the same with eating in front of the TV. I mostly eat alone, so itâs in my hands to find a better setting. Today, I decided to not eat in front of the TV in my home anymore. No exceptions. Feels good, I feel like the black and white thingy will help me again

Day 2
Feeling really good about my food choices so far and the amount that Im eating. Going onto that OA meeting on Saturday really did something to my thinking. I feel a sense of direction. I moved my body today also which felt great! I wanted to attend another meeting today but the OA website was down for maintenance. So will hopefully attend one tomorrow. I also decided to stop taking the Creatine supplement for my workouts. I dont feel like I need it and Id rather protect my kidneys. I will also be starting to take an Omega 3,6,9 supplement to help me lower my cholesterol and protect my heart. I think I can hopefully reduce the damage Ive done over the years. Grateful for u all that understand and for the extra support I have found

2 keto/ no eating in front of the TV
Didnât sleep much last night, and my body is going slowly into ketosis again. SooooâŚ. After painting a wall in my study room, itâs all about resting and taking care of myself for the rest of the day.
Have a peaceful day, everyone
