Now with this crazy awesome weight lifting I still get hungry with 2000 or more.

Thanks for the encouragement - part of me still struggles with "am I HUNGRY or just bored?" -- Right now, I know I am hungry - growling tummy... I want to trust myself to eat when hungry, but as a formerly fat person, it's hard...

if you're cutting calories - would it be a huge deal to eat an additional 100 calories if you need a little something after dinner?

Probably wouldn't be a big deal... unless it turns into 200 or 300 or... ugh...
Dilly - I'll post my menu, but I AM getting at least 90% good food and my macros are close to 40/30/30 every day... I think my body wants more food, but I have issues with listening to it and trusting it. I've overeaten my way to fat in the past, and I'm afraid it could happen again.
Today: Breakfast was l/f whole-wheat eggo with pb on it
HIIT workout
Snack - Protein shake made w/ skim milk, pb, protein powder
lunch - whole-wheat pita w/ chicken breast & lite mayo, red pepper slices, cauliflower...
Snack - cottage cheese
dinner - hard-cooked egg (1), turkey tenderloins, sweet potato, 1 small square dark chocolate
I'm at 1500 cals with 38/31/31 macros... still debating my evening snack choices...
Jane - I know the m&m's aren't a great choice... but I do love my small treat after dinner... I don't do it EVERY night...
. I'm working on finding a balance between nutrition and feeling completely deprived... and I've come a LONG way (but I know I'm also not "there" yet).
LisaC - thanks for the encouragement. The youtube link I posted is much slower than the way I do that kata - it was the only version I could find with the guy doing a decent horse-stance though - the other versions I saw on youtube were done standing almost upright - NOT the way our school teaches it. If I did it that high up, I'd be laughed right out of the dojo
. My Sensei is always on my case about getting my stances deeper - calls me taekwondo woman (and that's NOT a compliment, coming from him!!!)
