    While looking up at them I made sure my mouth was shut!

    Hitchcock, perhaps.

    I confess that I don't want to exercise, but I will make myself any ways.

    So I am trying out a new calorie distribution model whereby I will have two high calorie days in a week and then interplay between 500 calorie days and maintenance days (kind of a riff on 5: 2 methodology in a weekly spread). This is due largely in part to the fact that there is stuff I am over giving up but I also want to eat them endlessly (eff you very much pumpkin spice oreos) so I want to see ifor I can relegate those foods to two days? Idk how successful this will be but maintenance is the time for experiments right? lol

    Anyway yesterday was high calorie so today is 500....the degree to which I am not hungry is making me disgusted with my calorie total yesterday, oy vey. I cannot wait until Nabisco puts these oreos back in the cookie vault haha

    Experimenting to find out what works for you is good. Oreo cookies are evil. My husband loves the blueberry and the pumpkin spice ones. My downfall is candy corn, personally. If I buy it I will most likely eat the whole bag.

    Yeah they are so bad! Why do they have to be 1800 calories a package?! #rude lol

    Sometimes, I eat in bed and don't even remember. I wake up in the morning wondering why I'm not hungry, and then, I'm sad when I remember.

    That when I take ambien. You are a sleep eater, probably. Some part of your brain shuts off. My husband has to make sure I stay in bed.

    I'm fairly new to this site, but I had a couple of days where I was "ashamed" of what I ate, and I just skipped recording on those days. Need to record all days, but it's hard to see it in print.

    You can only change your behavior when you admit it to it. I have had days like that. Still do and I have been within 5 lbs of my goal weight for almost 3 years. I try not to go more than a day or two without logging.

    I am not judging, just encouraging you to be honest with yourself.

    I think experiments are a good thing, It gives a chance to see what is possible. I don't think I could have a 500 calorie day. one meal usually goes over the limit.

    That would be sad not to remember what you have eaten. Savoring every bite keeps me on track till the next meal.
    Your husband must be a light sleeper to be able to catch you getting out of bed.

    Don't skip recording. Your body records it even if you didn't and knowledge is power.
    If if helps you are not alone last Thursday I made pumpkin spice cookies and some wonderful coconut, oatmeal, chocolate chip cookies that were wonderful. some of what I logged was the dough but also sampled the cooked cookies. It happens with me every once in a blue moon.umt1bueqnvua.png
    I just went back to staying into my macros I did not go under to try to make up for those calories.

    What the heck? That is scary. Another migration path you must be on.

    I have gotten bad that when I know I am over, I'll log until I push myself over and then just close it out. I need to get less lazy and record everything! If I know I am under, I make sure I record every little bit.

    Yes and all the way in to get my hair cut I was saying "Please don't poop in me . Please don't poop on me.Please don't poop on me." They had left to roost by the time I got finished with my haircut.
    I must admit I much preferred the monarchs butterflies.

    Yes it is tempting to not log, but how is that helping you?

    It's not that it's tempting not to log it, I am just lazy. I know I am over, so once I make myself be over, I then close it out. I don't pay attention to weekly or macros, so it's usually not that beneficial, but that 'you would weigh x in 5 weeks' can be compelling. In both directions. :)

    Currently I've been eating to meal plan ( which is printed and on the fridge at home), so no logging for this girl for now.

    Those cookies I made last Thursday keep calling.
    Damn those buttery chewy disc of delisiousness.
    I am surprised my family hasn't scarfed them up yet. I must be feeding them to well.

    :'( Sorry you are miserable. Not seeing the cow part. Don't try to convince me otherwise it's not happening.

    Give it a few weeks to a month or two to see if this method of eating is helping you maintain, lose, or gain. The days that you eat 500 are you going to regulate how much exercise you do or take a rest day?

    With how much exercise you've said you're doing in your marathon training your Oreo calories are definitely justified.

    My favorites are coming back soon The White Fudge Oreos!

    A coworker ate three of those packs in a sitting & that's around 3,600 calories :o.

    Haha never fear my experiment was very short lived! My thought this morning after failing out at 11km was more "Yeeeeeeah maybe not." 50km unsurprisingly will not happen on shrimp and cauliflower alone ;) . Our local grocery has clearly taken pity on me and clearanced the last three packs of pumpkin spice oreos (I thankfully only lust after the PS ones). Now to refrain from buying them :/ haha

    I think I am done with experiments until after my marathon in June and will be going back to keto tomorrow. Not worth trashing my performance on a race that carries wildly expensive registration. Honestly I knew it was coming, I am faster as a keto runner by a significant margin. I bonk around HM length as a glyco and running makes me happier than eating does sooooo bye PS oreos :'(

    x in 5 weeks isn't always correct

    Good luck with your race. Bye bye, Oreos!
