Sleepin’, exercisin’, eatin’…..thinkin’

Slept great last night….much better than last refeed (maybe it was the reduced sugar…or just the reduced calories?)…..and I had a wonderful workout today (redepleted? Heck yeah!). I also was starvin’…..so while last “day after” I ate 280 grams of meat / fat mix…..I had determined that for these three days I would average about 390 grams per day. I thought I’d be able to consume under that average today….and then more than the average the second and third day. Nope. I ate every bit of the 390 grams today….and truth be told….I’m still hungry now a few hours later. Hmmmmmm. If I feel the same “real hunger” tomorrow….I’ll go over 390 if need be. Whatever it takes…..as long as it’s done on a meat / water day…..and as long as it’s at least 75% fat in terms of total calories for those days.

Bodyweight today….up 1.8 kg from yesterday (prerefeed)….one of the lower “refeed gains”….but again….I ate fewer calories….so shouldn’t be too much of a surprise.

I’m ready to make the attempt to clean up the next refeed even a bit more……but I gotta’ point out….yesterday’s was the first one I can recall where I ate no nuts or seeds…..almost no PUFA’s….so I really did do puuuuuuurrty good. Next time….ideally….I can go even lower on “junk”….but…..importantly….I’ll only do it if I can do so without feeling like I’m denying myself anything. These “new style” refeeds are all about feeling a wonderful sense of eating “whatever I want” (while trying to redefine that so that it ends up being relatively clean!).

OK…..I’m hungry……but happy. Hopin’ for some additional good zzzzzzzzzz’s tonight. If not…..look out!! Tomorrow may be a meat / fat fest!!!
