I accepted 749 fantasy calories for paddling under 5 miles. It was a more social paddle today. I managed to squander that on dinner and various snacks after I got home so I am still over 400 in the hole. But after eating a turkey wrap and a banana and getting reasonably hydrated, I weighed when I was getting in the shower and I was 155. I may take off a day this week and go paddling or surfing down at the beach with one of the guys I paddled with today. I keep battling this calorie deficit from going over and keep managing to eventually erase it and I am keeping my weight about where I want it, but I really wanted this to be easier and more natural. Oh well, at least I am making it work.
