Doubled up again today

Today I got to do my run and my lower body workout since due to the events of the day yesterday I didn't get to run. Thanksgiving was good and I had a great time not to mention I ended up using my free day this week for it so I got to just go crazy and believe me that is just way I did. When my in-laws showed up I started my grazing and nibbling before we sat down to eat right around one. Once we sat down I had some Turkey, Ham, stuffing, dressing, mashed potato, green bean casserole, rolls, and sweet potatoes with marsh mellows on top. I put so much on the plate that I ended up stacking some if it on top of each other. Then I went back for more stuffing, ham, and turkey. That was just the dinner, when it came to sweets time I had a 7 layer bar, some pumpkin pie, zucchini bread, and I think that is it if you don't count the coffee. Don't worry I didn't mention the hummus or sausage balls I was eating most of the day as well. Needless to say I got all kinds of eating done and felt like I could sleep for a week when I was finished. When I got back from the rec center today after running and doing the lower body workout I had a small protein shake then went to the shower. When I got out I had a tuna wrap and some broccoli and I am already feeling hungry again. I am hopeful it is because my body burned so many calories that I need to take in more calories and protein to help build up the muscles. I finally got a tape measure and measured myself to get a rough idea of my body fat %. I kind of wish that I had not, as it turns out I am in the upper 16% for body fat and the mid 22 for BMI. The BMI is good but I was hoping that the body fat would have been a little lower. I guess I am going to just have to work a bit harder when lifting weights and run a bit longer when doing cardio to help shift the muscle to fat ratio a little more. The final numbers were I am 125 lbs of lean body weight and 25 lbs of body fat. I would like to get the % down below 10 so it looks like I have something else to add to my list of goals for the up coming year. Keep an eye out on how I am doing on it. This week starts week 9 of Body-for-Life and that makes me happy since there is only 4 weeks to go and the odd number weeks are the ones that have two upper body workouts so I am looking forward to it this week and taking another week off the count. Well I have a forum I am going to post to real fast then I am going to eat something as I am beginning to get quite hungry.
