Cindyinpg's November 2013 Challenge

Major Goals:

1) To eat ice cream every day in November.

On days when for some unforeseen reason, I cannot have ice cream, I will have at least one moderate serving of one or more of the following:
- S'mores Pop Tarts
- Dairy Milk Cookie Crunch Chocolate Bar
- Pancakes with Maple Syrup and Butter
- Potato Chips
- French Fries
- Cheeseburgers
- Pizza
- Donuts

2) In addition to the ice cream, I will fulfill my macro/micro/fiber goals by incorporating the following:

- Chicken breast
- Variety of green salads
- Fiber One Cereal
- Peanut butter
- Protein Powder

3) to lose 2-4 lbs during the month.
I am getting close to goal and want as painless as possible transition into maintenance.

4) Weight train faithfully on Mon, Weds and Fridays .
Just started the Allpro beginners routine 8 weeks ago.

Minor goals:

5) to help demolish the silly myths by orthorexics and food shamers.

6) to show that you can still enjoy foods you like while losing weight.


Will also periodically post my progress, random musings and pics of ice cream.

    * Normally I have a very small deficit or even a surplus on Sundays. It is the one dayshift I have every week and a tv night, whereas the other days, I work nights or have off entirely and can exercise, eat properly. So I'm surprised I stayed on target. I had my planned dessert and wasn't looking around for additional snacks. Mind you, I had saved most of my calories for the evening. I might continue doing that on Sundays.

    you're doing a good job on your November challenge. how do your macros look?

    Decent on protein. I always have to remind myself about the fat, leftover 90's mentality, I guess.
    I was surprised to do the calculation on TDEE thread yesterday and learn that I am a bit off somewhere. My Bodymedia is overestimating by about 10% or I am under reporting intake somehow. Not a big deal, but interesting. I'm going to try and log super accurately in the next few months and try it again over a longer time frame and see if I still get the same inconsistency.
