Pic of BBQ meatball and coleslaw, no rice

Pic of garlic ahi, no rice (same as last week but took another pic)
Week 28 measurements vs. week 26 measurements.
Weight 194 lbs (-1.5 lbs)
Waist normal 35.75" (0") No change
Waist vacuum 32" (-0.5")
Waist push out 36.75" (-0.25")
Lost a little weight again, but the waist measurements are about the same as week 24, so no real improvements made.
Will start to measure weight and waist every week instead of bi-weekly. I think not being able to train upper body (chest, back, shoulders) is affecting my ability to burn calories a little bit.
I am having a cheat day because I am feeling run down from yesterday’s cold/flu and need some emotional, mental and caloric pick me up

[quote] However, if I feel like eating 1oz of chips or 1 piece of chocolate, I am not going to cry about it anymore (woe is me crap), as long as I can keep points 1 and 2 in line. Now comes the problem of calculating my daily caloric maintenance requirements - which is made more difficult when losing weight is involved.

You know, once in a way I eat food that feels like a total disaster, but I still do okay on my overall goals (calories are in check, still get my protein). These days are huge moral victories. Sometimes it requires a massive mid-day meal correction, which is where logging stuff intraday can come in so handy
