1,494 calories.

1,479 calories so far today. May end the night with a tablespoon of peanut butter, but might call it a day now.

187 lbs. after my evening meal of a chicken breast sandwich, lettuce, tomato, baked potato, applesauce with cinnamon, and black coffee.

Blew past my allowed 1,483 calories.

On treadmill now.

3.0 speed, 2.5 incline, just passed 18 minutes of 30 I can squeeze in before the gym closes.

A teacher shared a Kit Kat bar with me, I had a banana that was going to get overripe, and I had four creamers with my coffee instead of drinking black.

That accounts for 280 calories or so. I could have ditched the mayo for another 90 or the pb for 100 and met goal, but I'm not sweating it. Sitting at 185 lbs.

I entered 185 as my weight in that calorie calculator...

That dropped me to lower cals to maintain a two pounds per week weight loss. Iiiiiiiii'm not doin' it.

1,470 calories.

Those calculator things tell me I need to drop well below 1000 calories for weight loss. And they tell me my maintenance calories are around 1,200. Ummm, nope, not doing it. I'll do what it takes to maintain at 2,300 to 2,500 and stay around 1,800-1,900 at the end of my diet.

I don't know how you do it, Curt. Mad props for sticking to those numbers - even with the KitKat.

This was March 30.

Skipped cardio yesterday, but got some extra sleep so I'm calling it a win.

I'm sitting at 200 lbs. Not especially lean at 6'1".

Going to try to tighten up my eating plan again. I tried some stupid all shakes and one solid meal approach earlier. Well, for one, I drank more shakes than I was supposed to, and for two, I didn't really monitor that one solid meal well at all. Like a daily cheat meal and way later at night than it should have been.

I've had success with keto in the past but I think I'll count calories to a degree this time around. (snip)

184.3 lbs. just now.

Counting calories beat the hell out of that attempt at living on protein shakes for 28 days.

Goal weight is 180, but I may drop that to 175.

(flips coin)
