Diet: 1990 cals
Exercise: 10k steps
Comment: So I've walked 10k steps for 8 straight days, which might be a record? And I've managed to keep my calories lower the last few days, which is great, since some folks believe that increased exercise is canceled out by a parallel increase in appetite. If I keep this up I should get things moving along in the right direction again!

So Saturday was another high calorie day. My hosts that I'm living with knocked on my door (after I've already eaten) and sort of insisted that I eat dinner with them (one of the things that makes being a guest in someone else's home awkward at times). But the last two days have been fine. And I have one of my longer "10k step streaks" going, so that's good.

So yeah, really high calorie count. It was supposed to be a great day; I had fasted through most of the day, and it was time for dinner.
I made the classic fat guy mistake. Sort of just wandered until a found a fast food place ("wienerschnitzel," an all hot dog joint) and got some stuff. "no prob, I have a bunch of calories to spend, no prob"
Except when I looked up the nutritional info on what I ate it was......... very calorie dense. Very.
I thought: "I surely couldn't have eaten that much..."
As soon as that thought crossed my mind, I burped, and my stomach lurched, and suddenly I felt.... VERY FULL.
I basically lied in bed Friday night in a food stupor. I did get my 10k steps in though, so believe it or not I was still something like a 400-500 calorie deficit.

Diet: 2400 cals
Exercise: 10k steps
Weight: -4.4 lbs (same as before)
Comment:
My weight hasn't changed in about 10 days or so, which is no surprise since my measurements haven't either. Of course the increase in calories around my birthday is the easy culprit here.
As to today, I'm going to be honest: I felt like crap all day. Just melancholy for no reason, and while I didn't pig out, I didn't maintain my goal of 2000 cals either. I did get my steps in though. Hoping to bounce back tomorrow.

Diet: ~2000 cals
Exercise: 10k steps
Measurements: No change form previous (-2" from chest, -2 2/3" from waist)
Comment:
Didn't weight myself yet but I did measure, and no change from the previous week. No surprise there, birthday week has consequences, which is why I'm trying to ratchet down the calories (while making sure I get those 10k steps) each day.

Exercise: 10k steps, pushups.

The project to cut back from 2300 cals or so to about 1900-2100 cals a day continues apace. I suppose I should do some fresh measurements soon...

Diet: 2250 Cals
Exercise: 7000 steps
Comment: My goal this week is to cut back about 300 cals a day, since I've allowed my daily intake to creep up to ~2300 most days. I need to be *really* at 1800, but I probably make progress if I'm at 2000-2100 (as long as I'm getting close to or near 10k steps).
