Yikes...I can’t imagine trying to do gluten free and vegan. Good that you are finding stuff you eat, though.
I've been pretty good sticking to wfpb, and Dr Gregers daily dozen! Using that as my guide I don't need to track calories nor nutrition! It's already there

It does keep you focused. I've been making foods without any oil sugar or salt, and all whole foods, but in the end if i find it unpalatable, I'll add a spoon of mayo, or sprinkle of salt. I do find I'm getting better at things like using some broth, or water with liquid smoke, and herbs to saute, just enough so by the end they're sticking a bit and a bit of water deglazes, which adds so much flavor.Funny, I was reading about that yesterday. I used to eat like that at one point but really don't at all now. I might look into it as it seems quite a simple way of eating healthy if you just have to cross off 12 things a day.
Alright I've been doing 30 seconds with my arms outstretched, and another 30 on my forearms. Five minutes sounds pretty daunting !My sister and I are doing a 30-day plank challenge. At the end, you're supposed to be able to do a five-minute plank. I'm up to a minute and a half, and I can see myself doing a minute more. I hope I can do the five minutes on Day 30! That would be awesome. At the very least, I'm being consistent with it. On Sunday I walked almost 5 miles, and yesterday and today I did the treadmill. I had to be in a bit early for a different sort of shift at work today, so I couldn't walk outside and get in enough minutes, hence the treadmill. I really wanted to walk outside because it was a beautiful morning. Tomorrow I will do weights and another plank.
Yes, on the forearms, bent at 90 degrees and whatnot. I will be shocked if I get past 2 minutes, let alone 5, lol. But I'm totally giving it a shot. This morning I did two because my friend was doing cardio and I got to the gym late because traffic was a bear. So I did my plank-challenge one and then I did one with my friend and lasted a minute. That was after I'd done weights, so I was pretty psyched about that. It must be really hard to do them with the arms outstretched. I clasp my hands because flat palms bother my wrists. Mine look like this:Alright I've been doing 30 seconds with my arms outstretched, and another 30 on my forearms. Five minutes sounds pretty daunting !
Do you do them on your forearms?
