One of the things that always derails me during October and beyond is once birthdays kick in (it was my birthday Oct. 2, then my wife's next then my oldest kid, all in one week) my diet goes out of control. Being out of town this was easier, but it was still in danger of happening when my coworkers bought an AMAZING (but extremely calorie dense) peanut butter cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory. It's "bad" enough that they did that, but they also let you keep the cake afterwards, and there was a TON of it left.

So it was important that on Oct. 4 I had something of a bounce back. 2200 cals is still about 300 too high for a typical day for me, but I also had a very high step day: over 12k steps.
