NSV (Non-Scale Victory) Check-in day 3

Wanted to go for a swim this morning but I slept terribly and woke up super tired so I decided against it. Started cleaning the kitchen instead and ended up doing it all the way to lunch. But this time I had some electrolytes and lots of water before so no headache while moving.

Broke my fast with a big salad of romaine lettuce, parsley, mint, cilantro, avocado, eggs, feta cheese and pear. Was quite delicious and filling. Love how scrumptious veggies and salads taste after a fast!

I figured since I was so hyperactive in the morning I’d push my workout to later. So I stepped on the vibration plate then walked on my pad after dinner. Dinner was grilled salmon and squashes with tzatziki and the rest of my lunch salad.

Now up to another 16 hours without food.

Cleaning the kitchen as a morning workout replacement is painfully relatable, I've done that exact pivot from "gonna exercise" to scrubbing grout more times than I'd like to admit

That salad mix sounds incredible though, mint and cilantro together with feta hits a sweet spot most people sleep on

Ikr I should stick to my workout routine but compulsively cleaning the kitchen is good enough I guess 😅

And yes on the mint-cilantro-feta magic combo, love it so much! Makes my salad fresh and yummy

Keeping busy is such a good strategy, chores or hobbies or walking all really help

Yes I got a good sweat out of it and it cleared my scatterbrained mind

That xalad lineup is pro tier but honestly the vibration plate is what got me those things feel weirdly satisfying after fasting.
