Plan for today: get some NEAT, stay on-track at 1500kcal of clean low-GI food, karate tonight. If karate is exhausting, I'll take tomorrow as a rest day. If it's mild and I don't really break a sweat, I'll do HIIT in the morning tomorrow.
I went to bed hungry last night
, but feeling smugly superior to DH
. Of course that was after I almost killed him (and I should get some kind of prize for restraint!!!). I was so hungry but I really want to stick to my plan for now, and I know I'm hungrier on lift days (came in at 1670 kcal, 35/35/30)... so what does he do? After whining about his middle-aged-man belly (he's a runner, but a stocky build - he really needs to be more consistent in lifting, instead of once a month!), he picks up a bag of tortilla chips and starts munching (and CRUNCHING LOUDLY) right in front of me
. I just took the dogs and went up to bed before I killed him and then did something even worse like eating a bunch of chips
.

Cheers to becoming a science experiment, because at least it means you can do things and check the results instead of trying everything and not seeing any!

Scale was same as yesterday, but I'm good with that. I knew it couldn't go into a freefall forever, and it's lower than it's been in a while.
Main reason I'm asking questions but not changing anything YET is that I want to be sure of the effects of what I'm doing right now. Next week will bring some changes anyway, since my schedule changes and my weights shift to afternoon 2/week and morning but not first-thing-still-asleep-morning on the 3rd day... gotta see how that effects diet / appetite and energy... plus I can add in a little more cardio on my former early lift days...

Yeah... I'm thinking the sexual deviant vibe probably has nuthin' to do with your diet and exercise

I bought some Laughing Cow cheese (l/f swiss) today - can't wait to try it!
I looked for the f/f (but high protein) dip and couldn't find any
. I got some 100-cal ranch dip thingies (so I can be sure I don't over-indulge in my dipping), but I'd love to find the other stuff. Does anyone have a brand they use (was that you, DM, who posted about it?)???
