Day after fat binge

Slept reeeeeeeeeally well last night….and notably, much more intense dream states.

Felt like crap first thing today. Just whooped. Every muscle was sore or ached. Sound familiar? Well….it sorta’ felt like the protein flu from a month ago. So….I disregarded the feeling….and went for a walk. Lots of stairs…..lots of walking…and an average of 15 pounds in my pack.

After the first two hours…..things started to change for the better. Muscles loosened up a bit….but, to be fair, are still sore as heck (specifically, chest and hams).

A few more hours….felt even better.

Came home….ate only about 210grams of meat mix….that’s all I felt I needed.

Going to bed soon….hoping today’s low caloric intake doesn’t screw me on sleep quality. C’mon…..after the multi-hundred grams of fat yesterday…I shouldn’t neeeeeed anything more than I ate today. Heck, I probably could have done even better with a total fast.

Tomorrow….if all goes according to plan…..*sigh*…..I’ll deplete (less CNS, more HIIT and reps)….then go to a new restaurant (the last one was the devil!!! Lol!!) that I scoped out today for a refeed. The meal will be lots of my noodles with three sauces (tomato, pesto, not sure of the third), lots of veggies (looks like they are not drenched with olive oil, so I’ll have more options as to what fat to eat them with…yum!!), raw seafood, oysters!!!!!, and then….I think….not positive….but I think I’ll go for 400 grams of fruit….but only fruit that I bring…no high fructose stuff…..I’ve got strawberries, cherries, and plums…..and I’ll mix with glucose powder, fresh made whipped cream, and probably goat cheese….and maybe a few walnuts.

A part of me is sorta’ asking the rest of me to take one more day off tomorrow…..and I promised that part that I would consider the request…in earnest….once I wake up and take “body feel inventory”. If that does happen…..everything just moves one day back.

Bodyweight today….as expected…..no loss…..stayed exactly 69.0kg. I fully expect the two hyper calorie meals in three days to result in a bump back to or toward 70.0kg.

My commitment……next time I “binge”….I will look first toward addressing the cause (was I overtrained? need more rest? not sleeping well? not fully replenished on carbs? too high…or too low….fat % in my meat mix?)…..before I give a single thought to addressing the “impact of the meal”.

Sleep gods……hear my prayer. Gimme’ some zzzzzzzzzzzzzz’s.
