    Yesterday was a close call for my ‘under’ streak since January 28. My usual breakfast includes steel cut oats with some non-fat Greek yogurt mixed in. After my workout at the gym yesterday I was quite hungry all afternoon so ended up having some of the yogurt by itself, and I noticed that the label said whole milk Greek yogurt; the last grocery store visit we picked up the higher calorie version. I allowed this to get in my head and I binged on the entire container - 900 calories! That put me over my daily 1500 net goal by almost 500 calories. I am determined to stay under my daily goal, so I spent an hour on the rowing machine and burned off the overage, a full daily workout for the second time yesterday. I am no different from anyone else, and I can get frustrated and lose my focus; but I have a burning desire to be lean and trim - which means at the end of the day I AM going to be under my net daily calories of 1500! Thanks for reading.

    I can relate to what you shared because we both are men on a mission. You paid the price with the extra work to keep your impressive streak alive. It was really a small price to pay, one that I would have paid too.

    I’ve got my own streak going right now and am 2 days to the finish line. Ain’t going to let anything or anyone break it. I guarantee it!

    Keep marching forward.

    My goal weight may be closer to 180 than 176. I’m now at 186 and I don’t believe I have 10 pounds of fat left to lose. I’m getting my body comp checked in a couple weeks so I will have some quantifiable feedback soon...

    That’s a leaner happy man photo in your avatar. I kind of miss the original Mr. Grumpy one. Congratulations on your progress. Keep marching forward all the way to the front door of your upcoming reunion.

    Thanks, the reunion is a stake in the ground. Another stake in the ground which I haven’t mentioned is the annual beach trip with my family in two weeks; and this year I’m very happy to say I won’t be mistaken for a beached whale 🐳🐳🐳 😁😁😁

    One of my work associates (before I retired) and his wife are Irish American. Every year on St. Patrick’s Day he would bring her homemade soda bread in to the office. I always looked forward to that!

    @fh1951 yeah we enjoy our soda bread/farls and also we are famous for having Potato bread which is equally as good - we have both of those usually along with our traditional cooked breakfast (we call that an Ulster Fry), it either gets toasted or can be lightly fried :smiley: and is served with bacon/sausage/mushrooms/egg/fried tomato :smiley: oops I'm making myself hungry and I've already had my brekkie! LOL

    Body composition analysis May 8, 2019

    Percent body fat 13.1%

    Maintain body fat (neither + or -)
    Maintain lean body mass (neither + or -)
    0’s on both - the nurse said she rarely sees that!
