    I've watched Seven Brides for Seven Brothers multiple times. It's one of my favorites.

    My second boy dated a girl for a long time before they got married. I used to tell him he needed to do it like the Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Just get it done. Heck, need to be back to the ranch by sundown! :)

    Everyone is on their own timeline though!

    Well done. It's a good sign that you can feast when the occasion calls for it, but still stay right on track and even drop a pound.

    Lost 1-lb for the week. Was 196 yesterday morning but lunch yesterday got me to 197 this morning. I'm going to eat a big salad for lunch and a protein drink as an after lunch snack on Tues and Thurs from now on. On Mon, I ran hard and lost appetite that night. By Tues afternoon, I'm at about a 2500-cal deficit and couldn't concentrate well at work so that is the reason for the change. I ate the salad and the protein drink yesterday and today I felt fine fasting all day and ran hard this evening after work (with some regular corn starch to fuel the brain). That's it this week. Have a good one!

    EATING:
    Was out of town for work and ate lunch Mon-Thurs. Ate light and also tried to eat light for dinner with the exception of one night.

    EXERCISE:
    Fri: Ran 4.33-miles total. Intervals, 1xmile (7.4 mph), 1x1/2-mile (7.7 mph), 1x1/4-mile (7.9 mph) with 1/4-mile walk in between on treadmill.

    Sat: Run - Hard 4.33-miles on the streets at 9:12-min/mile pace. Was too hard considering I ran hard day before and I was pretty much trashed rest of the day.

    Sun: Rest

    Mon: Ran 4.33-miles total. Intervals, 1xmile (8:00-min/mile), 1x1/2-mile (7:30-min/mile pace), 1x1/4-mile (almost 7:00-min/mile pace) with 1/4-mile walk in between on treadmill. The paces were a bit faster than what I've done before but I felt good. Did eat before went and that probably was the difference.

    Tues: Ran 2.5-miles. Didn't feel good (didn't sleep well night before). So only did 2.5 and then shot some hoops.

    Wed: Rest

    Thurs: Rest (was supposed to run but was traveling and didn't get much sleep so am delaying for a day).


    COMMENTS:
    Lost 1-lb for the week. I thought that was good since I was traveling for a lot of the week and ate a bunch of lunches. Now I'm used to eating lunches and I need to get back to what I was doing. Eating lunches can work if you eat small lunches and then small dinners. I usually have issues doing that though because once I start eating, I like to eat tell I'm full which isn't a small meal.

    I am right there with you, once I start I want to eat until satiated. Because I am used to that with my dinners.

    Great job with travel and loss!

    Yeah that's why I avoid lunches, it's like priming the pump and then I have to remember to cut back a little at dinner, which is easier said than done. My lunch is coffee and easily gets me through.

    Nice job Bob on those 1 pound losses, they add up don't they?

    Lost 1-lb this week. CW 195. I only did a 20:4 1-day this last week and ate lunches the rest of the days. I kept up the habit of doing that after travel the week before that. I'm glad I still lost a lb. I think the running I'm doing is helping a lot. I burn about 200-cals/day with steps and about 3100-cals/week with running. That's a total of about (200x7 + 3100)/7 = almost 650kcals/day. My BMR is about 2200 from MFP so my daily TDEE is at least 2850kcal. I can eat that much a day or maybe a little more and not gain weight. Anything below that is guaranteed weight loss. I do think I get an extra burn of 100-200 cals/day (maybe more?) just due to fasting (when I fast) due to the extra gluconeogenesis involved which is only 67% efficient from what I've read so I might be able to eat a little more than the 2850kcals/day and still not gain when fasting. That gives me some room to eat under that and get a deficit. Thanks all for the encouragement. Have a good one!

    I really wanted to fast more but it is a little difficult when you get out of the habit. Work is very stressful also right now so that is a big factor. I will be trying to fast on workout days (I like an empty stomach while running) and I will eat lunches the day after running because the running seriously kills my appetite the night I run and I don't eat enough and then I really suffer the next day trying to fast. That will be my plan this next week. If I keep losing on that, I will stick with it most likely.
