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!0 -

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.0

COMMENTS:
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!0 -
well done!!0

Big salad? Just like Elaine on Seinfeld. lol
Nice job, your plan is still working well.0 -

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.1 -
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!0 -
Wow you're still doing Awesome!!!0
-
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?0 -
Still dropping, you are doing so well!!0
-
Thanks all!1

I really love your steady losses! I would love to lose 1-2 a week steadily instead of my crazy yo-yoing all the time!0
-
Way to go! You are so consistent! GOALS0

Agreed! Great job on the steady losses!0 -
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!2

That is great! I should get into this exercise stuff. 0

Good job Bob 0

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.0
