Show me what you're eating today
No pictures, but dinner was great: a super yummy pizza with bacon and fresh avocado, a glass of rose wine, and the company of a good friend out on a terrace. The pizza calories are total guesswork, but it’s pretty safe to say I’m still at a 1000 calorie deficit. Turns out, walking around town with realtors to view different office spaces takes the day from work to workout!
It felt like a workout too, it’s been super hot and humid all day and I was absolutely drenched in sweat just from slowly walking a couple hundred meters. There’s supposed to be a thunderstorm tonight and I hope there is, maybe that will clear the air a little.
I wish I could have avocado. I have learned in the past few years that its in the same family as bananas, which I am allergic too

I don’t know why, but mayo is one of the grossest foods I can think of. One time I tried a recipe that included mayo and the smell almost made me barf. Oh well, one calorie-dense temptation less for me lol
I am very much a consistency type of person.
No Mayo, No cottage cheese, no yogurt... As picky as I am, I shouldn't weight what I weight lol0 -

Everyone have a great day.
TBH - as one of the moderators of this group, we are struggling to come up with new, original challenges. I will get with the other 3 mods and see if we have something in the pipeline.
If you have challenge ideas PLEASE send them to me!!!!0 -
Weigh In Wednesday:

PW: 226
CW: -do not wanna put this but it's the truth- 230.6 YIKES.
I am shocked. I weighed in more than once, same thing. Yes I did overdo some things over the weekend - it was hot and humid, so ice cream, haha - but I am like SERIOUSLY?! I don't even know what to say about it.3 -
-
Also for mayo sub - I too, do not like mayo, but not cuz of the consistency... for me it's the eggy taste. I don't like eggs. The smell, the taste - I actually get a gaggy feeling. Lol - but I do use Low Cal Miracle Whip. You can even mix it with a little yogurt and it will still taste like Miracle Whip. I love that shiz, ha!0

I found this graphic on Instagram yesterday and thought hmmmm…
I decided to add my stats to this just to see the breakdown.
What this graph means:
TDEE - Total Daily Energy Expenditure --total calorie burn for the day
BMR - Basal Metabolic Rate - the calories you would burn in a coma
REE - Resting Energy Expenditure - same as BMR
NEAT - Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis. This is the calories burned grocery shopping, for example.
TEF- Thermic effect of food, aka the calories you burn from eating and digesting
EAT - Exercise Activity Thermogenesis. This is focused exercise.
NREE - Non-Resting Energy Expenditure. The sum of NEAT, TEF and EAT
Ok my stats...
My BMR/REE 1651, so my others should be
TEF: 165
NEAT: 248
EAT: 83
NREE: Sum of the three above 496
AVG DAILY BURN 2147
Yesterday was pretty much a rest day. My Fitbit counted 4,569 steps. I did walk several laps around the house just to get moving a little. I made dinner and obviously helped with the baby... According to Fitbit, my calorie burn for the day was 2200.
My take away from this:
If I am super lazy my body will burn 1816 calories on its own.
If I am having a 'rest day' it should burn 2064 -- pretty darn close to yesterday.
If I am putting 1500 calories in my body each day, I cannot expect a 3 lb weight loss per week. One pound is way more accurate unless I'm killing it with EAT aka exercise!
This is just additional data to help me understand the process better... and I love numbers!1 -
