OK. I admit, I ate fried chicken over 2 days, parties, drinks enjoying a bit much these days.
My BF's bday today, so following Halloween party, dinner out with friends, drinks with friends and cakes, pies, another dinner with family and you get the picture.
I have a trip(business) to Japan for a week next week and my birthday following the trip... I am going to indulge in Japan. I cannot go there and not eat what I want! So diet on hold for the month😁 However, I will continue with work outs. OTF and something I can do indoors as lunch walk is getting too cold these days-

@Antiopelle Maintaining really is hard!
@cayenne_007 How many pushups can you do? I feel really weak: I often get comments from guys that I look strong but I can barely do a few push-ups (half assed) and zero pull-ups!
Well - I'm going to give it a try at lunch and see. My should is finally feeling better so I think it's time to start back on them. LOL! The last time I did it was on Oct 16th - got to a total of 72 - 5 reps - 14,16,12,12,18. When i started working on them 11 wks before that - I could do 3.
This is what I've been using for a guideline on increasing the # https://hundredpushups.com/week1.html
I have to repeat weeks often, it takes me longer to build strength for some reason.

Went over about 300 cals today - when your 96 yo Gram wants you to take her to dinner, you take her to dinner and have nachos & irish beer with her.

Went to failure on my bench press this morning - something I haven't done for a long time! I've come close, but always managed to push it out, did NOT happen today - last rep of the last set, but could not get it done (2 reps more per set at this weight than I've done before). Actually felt good to know I'm pushing it to the max finally. Made my following chest moves a bit weak, but I'm happy to have gotten to full failure on that.9 -

Goal #1: Less snacking (eat mindfully!)
Goal #2: Workout 3 days a week (gym, long doggie walks, etc.)
Goal #3: Thanksgiving - eat what I WANT to eat, rather than every available thing. Stop when full.
11/1-11/6: Jumping back in after a vacation. Weighed at 190 a few days ago (shocker - didn't gain on my vacation, AND lost a lb within a week of returning!). I'm taking a break from logging all my food. It gave me a great starting point, but it made me focus too much on daily counts (food in minus exercise out) and less on my true goals - simply be more active and eat more mindfully. I want my changes to be sustainable, and how I was eating and exercising when logging was not sustainable! If I see my progress stalled, I'll log again and see where I can make further changes.5 -

11/5 - 146.2 - Snuck in a great walk at lunch today and managed not to go over too badly. Kid's basketball game right after work made much more impossible. Still stuck to IF.

I feel your pain! LOL! I had such an awful Oct that I let logging everything consistently totally slide for a bit - I just wasn't in a frame of mind to do it. I've been forcing myself to get back on the bandwagon this month. Doesn't mean I can't have it - but I'm gonna log it to remind myself it counts. The early dark evenings make me want to hang out in the house & bake.... I LOVE to bake - and none of it's healthy, but it's so yummy!5 -

Totally get it! I'm all for comfort food when it gets cold and dark early. We're seeing snow marks starting tomorrow here in NE OH. urgh.
I was googling stews and slow cooking ideas just now! I saw Beef Cheeks cooked in crockpot with red wine... Beef Tongue (!) in crockpot for tacos- Going to see if my local butcher has these!!2 -
