How was everyone's weekend?

Since moving out on my own, I've put on weight. I don't know how. I'm eating healthy, my dinners are usually a combo of chicken, veggies, and rice (sometimes no rice), I don't eat much during the day and don't snack as much. No soft drink, mostly water, very little chocolate or sugary snacks. It's frustrating so I decided to do some more active work. I went for a run on Sat and Sun morning and feeling it today.

Old age is a killer.

I also bought some boxing gloves and a punching bag to do as well and plan on getting a bike to do rides with little one.

I got three concept ideas for my next book cover and all three are amazing. I'm stuck between 2 to choose from. Good problem to have.

If you are under a lot of stress that can have an impact on weight gain.

I reckon this is the most stress-free I've been in the last 5 years haha.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 7 months ago

Well that's actually good because stress is probably the hardest to control.

Once you find out why the weight gain you'll be able to correct it. You've got this!

Brown rice? supposedly whites not great for you.

Weekend was nice, but hot AF here yesterday.

Brown or black rice.

And somewhere between 1/3 to 1/2 a cup.
