    Dinner out again last night. I wasn't too far over my limit, but definitely the food was high in salt, and I'm feeling the last two days of dinners out. It looks we might have an impromptu birthday party for my little guy this weekend -- several of his friends are moving away right around his actual birthday, so we're trying to move it earlier so more people can come. Moral of the story is that I need to stay under my limit the next couple days to buy a little more leeway for the weekend!

    workout currently restricted by my doctor until all desired lab work done.

    SO I have my annual physical this morning. I tend to waste a lot of musle enzymes, so until my doctor sees what those labs are without exercise, I need to chill out a bit. I did get my steps in for today.

    Even with a Whopper, no fries or drink, I still come up under.

    Have a wonderful night everyone.

    Felt very tired yesterday, from the moment I woke up. By 4:30 pm, I gave up my target calories for the day and had a deliberate overage. I could have made better choices with the excess calories, but I have no regrets and limited the excess to about 250 calories over target. Fell asleep early, and woke up today at 5:30 am feeling better.

    Shark week. Due to BC, it only happens every season or so, but I put 6 lbs of water weight literally overnight and it's slowly been coming off. Two pounds a day for the last two days. I'd hit 220 even on Saturday and just shot up like nobody's business. Trying to keep my eye on the prize and everything in perspective.

    @aeloine. Water will come and go. You have the right attitude (eye on the prize). Normal to have a variation like this after a woosh. You are on the right track. Just keep on doing what you are doing.

    You are still almost 2lbs down for this month. And once the tide goes out, you will down a lot further.

    Previous week's weight: 148.2 pounds
    Current weight: 146.4 pounds

    Lost 1.8 lbs since last week. :)
    Down 23.7 pounds from my highest weight. <3

    Apparently if you eat healthy foods you lose weight, lol!!!!! :D
    I have been trying to eat more fruits and vegetables and make proper meals as well as eat less junkfood and work on keeping the unhealthy food out of the house so I stop binge eating cookies and brownies and it's working!
    I am proud of myself. It's been years since I saw the number 146.4 pounds. I am feeling elated!

    @inshapeCK. Great work.

    "Healthy food" fills you up more than "comfort food", so you consume less calories in getting to a state of feeling full.

    You should be proud of yourself. You are doing really well.

    If you only have good food in the house, you will only eat good food while at home. :)

    @anita7164. Well done for tracking. Sounds like you did a good amount of exercise.

    Now you can work out how you ended up so far over. That is almost a full days worth in excess. Something you are eating is calorie dense and not "filling". For me, processed carbs are the worst culprit (like bread, biscuits/cookies, pastry, pizza, etc..)

    One secret for filling food is soups/broths. The combination stays in the stomach longer and leaves you feeling full for longer. Fat, protein and fibre are the only things that reliably cause satiety.

    Unfortunately you cannot consistently out-exercise a bad diet. The amount of exercise to burn 1450 kCal is quite a lot (like power walk 14 miles - rule of thumb is 100 kCal per mile for a 180lbs person - faster you walk, the more you use per mile).

    @LesIckaBod. Eating out and staying in budget is hard. Plan ahead and it can usually be done.

    Have a good time at the "impromptu birthday party". It's important to celebrate and be part of life. Just keep your plans flexible and have over and under days.

    You can do this. I believe in you.

    @LesIckaBod. The great thing is that YOU made the decision. This is far better than "giving in" and flat out binging.

    It's fine to go over occasionally. Just try make it less often (and less over) than the usual days you are under.

    Previous Week's Weight: (63.5kg) 140.0
    Todays Weight: (63.2kg) 139.3

    Unable to weigh in Wednesday as away all week. First chance was Saturday morning.

    Looks like while travelling I need to eat more.

    For anyone that is new to Gutbusters this month just a note on my weigh ins. I am not part of the teams results. I am actively trying NOT to lose weight, but maintain. As such, my weigh- ins are optional. I choose to post a weigh in so that others can see I am still keeping a similar focus in maintenance as I was when losing weight.
