So I was backed in a corner today.... I was attacked by Greek food (gyros meat and chicken) followed by a bar of Hershey's Chocolate with almonds 210 calories. Then I had to add a square of Ghirardelli (70 calories of the bad kind of chocolate). I got out of this hole by eating a light dinner and then I ran for an hour. I…

For dark chocolate, I eat at least 70%. The 70% tastes better than 85% to me. The trick is to remember why I eat it, then hide it after one serving where even I can not find it or put it somewhere that I have to drive to it in order to get a second serving. :smile: Yes, x 3 over here. Nice easy run. About an hour. Passes…

@bold_rabbit Have you considered supplementing with liquid calories? They don’t take up too much space and they “pass” quickly. Less stretch. Just keep it healthy and nutritious. Just a thought. Good luck.

Today was a close one. I barely made 20 minutes of exercise and it would have been so easy to trip and fall because there were lots of traps and temptations. I prevented a disaster by learniig to recognize my perfect storm and then modifying the environment to avoid it. Then I simply waited until the storm died down .…

@bold_rabbit I am also glad that you figured it out and feel comfortable with your plan. Your plan reminds me of what people are doing in Weight Watchers while trying to lose or maintain. They have daily points which they can consume and weekly points that they can consume anytime within the week. I believe that they are…

@bold_rabbit UAC should work for any plan as long as we stick with the plan and stick with our own “budgeted” calories, whether we are in maintenance, bulking, cutting, recomposing or just tracking to remain in health. Good luck!

I'm currently in my 2nd month and I signed up for the February 2020 challenge. Whether you are losing, maintaining, thinking about it or trying to remain in health, this challenge is simple but it focuses on the bare essentials of keeping the journey lasting and lifelong. It works.

@bold_rabbit, I’m like you!!!! I used to crunch my numbers in a spreadsheet too! Then I got the urge to change the plan if the results didn't match! lol. But I did eventually came back to reality because I knew (you know this as well as I do) that calculations on paper do not always translate to what we see on the scale.…

@bold_rabbit are you thinking of switching from moderate activity or from a sedentary setting? If I were in your shoes, I would consider a few things before changing the plan. There could be many reasons. Are you losing muscle mass? LBM. Are you losing bone mass? Has your NEAT changed? How many data points did you measure…

Thanks, @Hollis100! You are so right about us being temporary visitors on earth. That is one of the reasons why I am trying to make every day count to remain in health so that I can make this human experience as comfortable as possible. Thank you for those words.

Someone brought a delicious chocolate chip cake with buttercream icing today and I had a slice of the 390 calorie goodness.... If it was not for this 🏆challenge🏆, this would have easily slid into a pass day but I turned it around into a NO PASS DAY and I further sealed it with 1 hour of cardio on top of a workout this…
