We went to a dinner party at my college roommate's apartment last night. I thought that we were not eating until 9:00 so I ate my regular meals because I didn't want to be starving. It turned out I had the time wrong and we were actually eating at 8:00; oh, well. The food she had was actually really healthy, but I still went over for my calories for the day.
I thought it was a 1300 calorie day or I would have added more protein at the beginning of the day. Instead, I added the chocolate squares as a 100 calorie treat.
Training

Glute bridge-ups 2 x 12 x BW (with small ball)

Cardio
35 mins bike intervals - I must be getting better at this because I had to raise the level by to get my heart rate high enough
Dark chocolate and celery...mmmm. LOL. Sorry, I couldn't resist. And I just finished 3 squares of dark chocolate, the taste still on my tongue and I'm imagining a celerly stick to chase it. It all looks healthy and good job staying so close to your goal!

Now that you mention it, it does sound a little weird.
*I had a major blood sugar drop when I started my training at the gym. I ate an unplannned apple and a protein bar, which made me feel well enough to get home. I managed to finish most of the training there.
Training
Reload day
Overhead squat 3 x 12 x 9 (BB) - couldn't do the last set because I didn't feel well

Subbed tricep overhead press for tricep pushdown - 4 x 12 x 10
I hate it when those sugar drops attack you--instead of getting hungry, I usually go straight to nauseous and dizzy! Glad you could finish your workout though.

That is exactly what happens to me, except I don't get nauseous. I do, however, break out into a cold sweat, have trouble coordinating my muscles, and my vision gets murky. Leigh gave me some great advice in the thread I started, though, so I'm feeling a little better about going into my next reload on Sunday.
Tomorrow is one of my least favorite days diet-wise - 1300 calories but I have to have a 180 calorie protein shake PWO. I think I'll do what I did the other day, which was to stop by my office and use the blender; the shakes are more filling that way. Training is an "A" day, upper body; no cardio.
The holidays took over, I was in Maui. Then training was inconsistent due to snow for about a week and I kind of just got bored of logging. Everything is going well weight and training wise, though!

I'm pretty happy overall. I found out this week that the program I'm doing is more of a body recomp program and I shouldn't expect big changes on the scale. I lost 5.25 inches total.
Oh, the reason I have a range for my weight is I have trouble reading the results on my dial scale.
Was this day better than the last with 2400 calories?
re m5: is that sea salt in the caramels, used to tone down the sweetness, or just because you like the sweet & salt combination?
The sea salt is sprinkled on the caramels - they're from Trader Joe's. I got them about a month ago for a party at a friend's but we never ended up opening the box. I thought they were chewy caramels but they are actually dark chocolate on the outside with a caramel filling. Amazingly good!
Yes, yesterday's refeed went a lot better. I actually had no hunger after my second meal and pretty much had to make myself eat afterwards (well, except for the caramels!)
Hi! I'm a fellow challenger and slowly getting through some logs. I didn't think I was hungry until I read your log. Your diet sounds great! Lots of variety and yumminess!
I'll be using you for those days when I need some food inspiration, thanks!
