So, I’ve been thinking about last night. I managed to get to bed without doing too much damage (ie. had dinner, but no snack) although my weight is kind of wonky this morning (higher than it should be). I ended up 315 calories over the 2300 that I should have had, and still ended at 25% protein. Of course, I drank less than half the water I normally do, and replaced that liquid with beer.

The thing is that I do kind of enjoy these once a week things, and being able to plan for them to end at 4pm (when they kick us out). What ended up putting me over was the food, not the drink. However, I don’t see me not eating while drinking 3 or 4 beers. I could drink less (and probably should) but I also don’t see that changing by much.

So… new plan. Drop Sat-Thu by 100 calories a day, and not worry so much about Friday afternoons. The only catch with this is that it might screw up my Sunday weigh-ins (we’ll see how that goes), although in the long run I should still go down from week to week. I think I’m willing to live with that for a little while.

So, food for yesterday:

Total: 2615 (25% fat, 32% carbs, 25% protein, 18% alcohol)

Breakfast: egg/egg white scramble with cheese and salsa, whole wheat pita, clementines (514)
AM Snack: none (0)
Lunch: whole wheat pita, smoked turkey, cheese, lettuce, onion, salad dressing, apple (529)
PM Snack: beer, chicken fajita wrap (1116)
Dinner: chicken thighs, curry sauce, broccoli/cauliflower/carrots, salad w/dressing (456)
Late Snack: none (0)

I’m seriously in trouble of being over my calories today. I think the macros are probably not going to be even remotely in line, but we’ll see. I did, however, get a workout in… although kind of a sad one.

I started off with 3 mins cardio (walking/jogging on the spot), the prescribed warm-ups, and then did:

Power Training - Strength Training (weeks 10-12)
Workout A1 (1 of 10)

5: Two-point Dumbbell Row with Twist - 25e/5, 25e/3, 25e/2, 25e/1
6: Shoulder Press - 65t/5, 65t/3, 65t/2, 65t/1
7: Chin-ups (band assisted, attempts) - 5, 3, 2, 1
8: Cable Woodchop - 8, 8, 8, 8

Total time: 70 mins

I say sad because I didn’t push any of the weights up on the lower reps. Usually I would, but I wasn’t 100% co-ordinated when I started, so I just worked on not killing myself.
