Hi there!  To change it up a bit, I want to start with the numbers today. Because you might think that's actually what I'm focused on the most, but weirdly enough it isn't. So we'll get that out of the way and I'll explain more in a bit!  I'm copying this from the previous post and add another line.

"My March goal would be to lose 0.8 kg by 25th of March: 

Wednesday 1. 80.3 kg. (start number). 

Wednesday 2. 79.5 kg.  

Wednesday 3. 78.6 kg."

SO YOU WOULD THINK I'M REALLY HAPPY, BUT I AM NOT :D (which is actually a good sign I think). Let me explain all these weird things. 

1) Looking at numbers

I feel like I can be really happy with the weight loss so far, if I look at the numbers that is a really good amount of weight loss while I still feel like it's been not hard at all. I honestly think I can keep doing this for a good while. And it also means that in the future when I'm happy with my weight, I can add maybe a snack and maybe a workout less and stay at a good weight.

2) So why do I not feel happy? 

The gyms have been closed for a week now, due to the Coronavirus. It's the first time I notice how much energy the fitness sessions actually gave me. I felt energetic, strong, powerful. And now... I feel like a potato again (eventhough I am not overeating, so I am still losing weight). I'm really trying to do some workouts inside, but it will never be the same as what I can do in a gym.

(In a way I'm also not too happy because I can't see my body changing just yet, but I am confident that that will start to happen in the future, more on that in future posts).

3) So why do I think that is actually a good sign?

I feel like I finally want to workout to feel good and not just to lose weight. I have to admit that until now I worked out to lose weight and I thought all the 'it makes you feel amazing' was crap :D. But NOW I want to move move mooooooooove. 

This posts was more of a mental one, so you know where I am at right now. I think I might change my goal through the Coronavirus to "not gain weight", and not so much on "losing weight"  because I workout less, and I don't want to undereat.   Hope you enjoyed this update! :) More on the coronavirus, how I manage to workout inside and my new goals in the next one. Also, by the next one I would be one month in, so it's gonna be cool to have a first monthly overview.

Baiiiiiii

When I see the "joy/thrill of movement" sentiments like that. It reminds me of a couple things. Or moments in time of my exercises past. 1.) I used to run in the park across the street from my house. Using a rail road measuring wheel I determined how many laps and some made a mile. 5,280' :smile_cat: It was great to get that sudden feeling around lap 1 1/2 or so where that "feeling" would kick in. And the remaining 3 1/2 or so laps was happy joyous movement cake! ;~) 2.) In the same spirit of running one of my most treasured "exercise memories." I.e. running on a treadmill at a 2 1/2" incline at a steady click of 5mph+/-. I swear I could go on for what felt like an indefinite time. If for that it would be coming up on 1-2hrs I'm not sure what or how long that could have gone for. Definitely take joy in the measured progress. You''re on a good "track". You're doing the right thing for right reasons. Which should make tost important thing, making it a way of life. come without too much fuss. Enjoy the "PotatoVille Life." Eat, and most importantly SLEEP!, long and well. That reminds me I haz some hopefully useful health reference links I'll share in discord. o/ =^.^=
