Saturday was my first real off plan this month and it wasn’t so bad. I honestly feel really decent about it. I didn’t gorge or binge or eat ’til I was overfull. I just had some foods I normally wouldn’t, but kept it all fairly reasonable. So, this morning I was up 1 pound, but I realize it’ll be gone very soon and I can get back to the business of reaching goal.
So, only a few more days on 1200 cals. Then mid-week it gets interesting switching to 1500 cals. The thing is once I hit goal I’m supposed to switch to 1800 cals which I’ll have to transition to carefully since it may happen soon after switching to 1500. I guess I’ll play it by ear. I know May holds some weekend challenges with travel and special events, so we’ll see how it all works out.
Yep, that runner’s diet won’t be in full effect until mid summer. I think the way I’ll approach it is that I’ll just add carbs when I need to add calories for my long run days. Sure, I’ll throw in some sweets now and then, but mostly keep it to whole grains and fruits. I’m off to meal plan…..
