Today was a good day, Alhamdulillah. I started my morning by taking my measurements. It felt a little funny because, in a desi household, measuring your food for yourself always gets some curious looks. ๐ My mom caught me measuring my food and said, "Who eats like this? You already eat so little!" It made me smile because I know this journey is about learning, not starving. Today, I managed my meals well. My water intake was good, my step count was on track, my energy stayed high, and I had zero cravings. I even enjoyed cooking for myself. Honestly, cooking feels like therapy although in this summer heat, it feels more like a workout! ๐
I did end up eating a slice of pizza with my family, and my calories went a little over my target. But instead of feeling guilty, I reminded myself that yesterday I ate below my target. It's all about balance, not perfection. One lesson I'm already learning is this: If you keep showing up, you'll eventually get where you want to be. โฅ
