Ok. Well even if she weighs 60 pounds less it's a hell of a lot better than where she was. I meant zero disrespect to Alobar btw. Very much rooting for him to do well.

Cut away: cheese, one cup of potatoes and you would be already under 2k.

Substitute sandwich for a real home-cooked meal. Something like 4~5 cups of cooked broccoli and carrots + a roasted chicken breast. You would be stuffed for less calories.

Shakes seem to be a good idea. I myself never used them, but it seems to be not a lot of calories and if they help to keep things under control, it is cool.

Fatobar - I'm going to give you a one day pass for Turkey Day. Or more appropriately, the day after TD weigh-in. The conditions for this pass are that you not despair or get depressed after waking up and finding yourself well over target against the previous 8 days, and that you immediately get right back to the grind on the following day.

The reason for the pass is because you have put yourself in a no-win situation. You are at your mom's for a holiday that is completely focused on eating. There is literally no way you are going to be able to resist the pressures applied and the temptations available to you. Accept and acknowledge this ahead of time so you don't beat yourself up over it later and derail into another nonlogging spree like you did last time. You are 100% to binge, so just accept it now and don't let this exemption turn into anything other than what it is - a one day pass.

Lapka,

I can't away the cheese, look at all that protein it provides! Sandwich was a take away from the place I stopped at and got nachos the day before, I couldnt very well let it go to waste

Chop,

naw, I won't feel any pressure, my mom is not a food pusher and its not a giant gathering, just me the GF and mom and sister. Maybe its cuz I massively pig out all the time, but I also don't have a "Its thanksgiving, gotta wear my fat pants and eat as much as possible" conditioning were I will feel like I'm missing out on an experience if I don't partake in that tradition.

199.9. Nice number.

Obviously did not do very well. Polished off a whole box of graham crackers with milk while watching TV. Even worse is there are clearly way tastier things to dump that obscene number of calories on.

I guess like everytime i **** up and try to spin it as a positive there are a couple take aways that make me feel good. First, I've noticed i'm more likely to do something stupid like this on a day where I post a weight that is well under the max. I think I let off any discipline I do have because I know I have the room to **** up. So hopefully I stay more aware of that in the future. That is disconcerting tho because it's just my normal old habits shining through, which means when im done with this thats likely what I'll end up going back to, so nothing has changed.

That is not entirely true tho, because the second thing I realized is that, after I was done eating, my reaction was "****, now I have to go make myself workout". Which is my typical thing in the past, but I realized its been a long time since I either worked out when I hadnt planned on it because I ate too much, or was working out specifically so I could eat too much later. That made me feel pretty good, that my workouts lately have all been because I'm either enjoying my training program or just having fun riding bike. So I think that is a healthy change, so I decided that I was going to do what I planned and not work out, which made me feel pretty good.

so yeah, long word vomit, but I ****ed up, I'm not beating myself up over it, and I still feel like I'm on the right path overall and am just going to continue going forward.

I would have thought redbull would be considered soda?

Usually soda tastes good, so no.

Guess I don't know the technical classification of soda, but I dont consider red bull soda.

and blueberry redbull is delicious.

I brought up the redbull because I didn't want to mention the cracker debacle!

"First, I've noticed i'm more likely to do something stupid like this on a day where I post a weight that is well under the max. I think I let off any discipline I do have because I know I have the room to **** up"

Indeed.

Still seems pretty likely 200 is in the back mirror!

workout:

2 hour MTB ride with an hour at just under race pace (Was trying to take someones strava segment, I was not even close, lol)

only way I can have a 2xx day now is if I lose!

Got my Amazon shopping cart ready for tomorrow's weigh in.

haha, a hoverboard, really? That gymnastics bar seems massively overpriced, but also really cool.

After the gluttony of today, tomorrow is definitely going to be a pretty tense weigh in

I'm hoping the majority of those are Xmas presents for her daughter

well the gymnastics stuff clearly is, nothing else looks like it tho.

Awesomobar! Funnily enough you keep taking .3 pounds off your ceiling. Should be 199.7 next. oops there's a 199.9 in there.

Dangit, I thought today was the day.

She wants a hoverboard and I just recently got some string lights and bulbs that change colors for my bed+bathroom so I could have a pink glow all the time. Now shr wants some.

I want a robo vac so so bad! My hardwood floors stay so dirty. I've constantly have neighbor kids in and out tracking dirt everywhere as well as the kitties spreading litter.

How long is this freeroll going for? Indefinitely?

Until my high is under 190lb
