After ending January on such a high I'm not in a great mood today. Yesterday I was tired, didn't plan spectacularly (I knew there would likely be nothing OP besides the sandwiches at lunch provided for me and yet in my tired/huriedness I ran out the door anyway), and later did a little stress snacking after rehearsal. I was contemplating doing a "maintenance week" (not sure what this would entail for me, but maybe just still track and eat about 1800 cal/day?) but I'm afraid it would be too much of a slippery slope, given that the stress and sleep deprivation will continue over the next few nights, and exercise time will be less than normal.
Wed B - coffee w 1 T h&h, 1 c skim milk, oatmeal (1/3 c oats, small banana, 1/2 oz walnuts, 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder bc I'm so tired of my breakfast not lasting me til lunch) L - flatout sandwich wrap, ~3 oz lean deli ham, 1.5 oz provolone, handful of chips, chocolate cupcake D - sausage, bean and kale soup, roasted brussel sprouts S - small apple, Dr. Kracker cracker w 2 T hm hummus, between 1/3 - 1/2 Toblerone bar (sugar cravings are what I get for eating a cupcake earlier) E - 4 mile wog with dog Cals came out to 2000, not horrible, but I don't like how much sugar I ate. Thursday B - coffee w 1 T h&h, 1 c skim milk, oatmeal (1/3 c oats, small banana, 1 T dark chocolate pb) L - 1/2 flatout bread w 2 oz lean ham/turkey, 1 slice cheese, a boatload of carrots & celery w hm hummus, orange D - hm quesadilla or just melted cheese, depending on your perspective, w 2 ww tortillas and probably 3 oz reduced fat cheddar, frozen veggies S - lf yogurt, small piece MS mud cake E - 30 min stairmaster |
Megan, you know I am a big proponent of maintenance weeks. Just remember that a maintenance week isn't a "indulge in everything you ever wanted" week.

Hi Unstoppable, nice to see you on board.
Thursday B - 2 scrambled eggs, sliced grape tomatoes, salsa L - salad with red leaf lettuce, green leaf lettuce, shredded carrots, grape tomatoes, red cabbage, leftover steak, low fat ceasar, crispy onions S - apple S - I went downstairs to get a cup of coffee (I have one every day with a splash of half/half which I never bother to log because it's what, 40 calories?) The sweet barista knows I really like tall non fat lattes, so he made me one for a price of a coffee. A latte is 90 calories, so I guess I had better log that! D - hamburger patty, steamed green beans |

I'm going to try a maintenance week as I've kind of been doing that the last 2 days, lol. If it doesn't work for me, I won't do it again. Terms of my maintenance week will include continued daily weighing & calorie counting (I may drop this in the future if I stay in control of my maintenance week, but not yet - I don't trust myself yet), staying between 1800-2000 cals, trying to make those cals healthy and not all junk, and exercise as normal.
