Calorie Countdown, Thirsty Thursday. What are you eating?

Good morning/afternoon. I hope all is well. I'm ok, just kind of tired from the heat.

Here is my plan for Thurs -

B - milk, maybe with carnation

L - some cheese and a veggie or a piece of fruit

D - We are going to a ballgame with friends, not sure but we will probably eat there or afterwards. I definitely will not be drinking though!

My scale moved good for a few days, all the way down to 265.  This morning I was back at 269! Argh. I need to drink more water I guess, apparently I'm retaining. That or the 1200cal I ate yesterday added 4 lbs.

My scale jumped up yesterday, too!  Freaked the h e l l out of me since I've been journaling every morsel of food that goes in my mouth.  Maybe someone is force feeding me in my sleep.

So far today, I've had:

B: 4.5 oz rib eye steak, will eat the other half for lunch.

I have to go exercise now, and I'm REALLY full.  This ought to be interesting.

Later!

Here's what I ended up eating today:

B and L: 9 oz ribeye steak @522 calories, 75g protein (and it was tasty, too!)
AM Snack: Starbucks venti decaf w/SF caramel syrup/cream/1 Splenda packet @55 calories, 2g protein
PM Snack: 2 cans Instone protein pudding @200 calories, 40g protein
D: 8 oz turkey thigh and 1 cup corn @580 calories, 59g protein
Bedtime snack:  1 EAS protein drink and 2 SF popsicles @170 calories, 17g protein

Totals: 1452 calories - 272 calories expended via exercise = 1180 calories, 191g protein

I'm debating whether to try and keep my calories to 1000.  When I was on my modified Optifast plan, my endocrinologist wanted to keep my calories around 1100 so I wouldn't go into starvation mode.  Of course, I was 300 lb fatter then.  Using one of those online metabolism calculators, I should be able to lose weight if I keep my calories below 1600.  Har!
I'd sure like to know exactly what I burn each day.  Anyway, I haven't made a firm decision yet on cutting my calories a bit.

Went to a leadership seminar today and lunch was crap. Spaghetti but there was no meat sauce, just sauce.   I just ate the sauce and a few strands of pasta.  I ate the garlic bread and a few bites of salad.

B - SBD protein bar
L- spaghetti (it was good sauce though!)
S - vanilla dusted almonds 25 nuts
S - cheese crackers
S - SBD protein bar
D - chicken stirfry

I was a little snacky today. Partly because the seminar was long and the extra protein bar in the afternoon was for energy for my afternoon workout.
