Too much to eat….but not too far gone

Sleep last night. No. Lol! Really bad.

Bodyweight today 69.6kg (but I drank a lot of water throughout the night last night).

Workout today…..awesome. Loved it! Intense, non monotonous, challenging….and done! Jogged 10 minutes, did Tabata HIIT on stairstepper, 50 leg extensions, 50 leg curls, 50 calf raises, 50 leg raises (for abs), Tabata HIIT on rower, 50 lat pulldowns, 50 overhead tricep press…..then 30 minutes low intensity on the bike. As for running home. Nope. Wasn’t in the cards. No run / walking. Nuttin’. Just walked my whooped ass home….lol!!

Went to the restaurant….it did not disappoint! Wow! I pasted below everything I ate…..and I was conservative by adding an extra 440 calories in “miscellaneous”. With that included…..it was well above….meaning TOO DAMN MANY….calories…..2,900. That could have been eeeeeeeasily and comfortably reduced by at least 400 or so…..just by skipping some of the odds and ends of dessert crap. That said….I wanted to eat that stuff…..so I did. 

But THAT said…..for the past 3 refeeds….I’ve noticed that my “satisfaction rating” with the meal actually peaks during the dinner portion. This whole “dessert thing”…..even just fruit based or fat based (coconut ice cream, whipped cream, nuts, etc.) just detracts from the feeling of health and replenishment.

Next tweak to refeed? Just do “dinner”….no dessert at all. But beef up the dinner as far as carbs. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…….tonight’s carbs? 277 grams total….36% of the total calories. Fat was 47%. Protein was 17%. The macros, once again…..were pretty well in line. Just should have skipped the sugary shit. (Again, however, I’ll say that I chose to eat it….and it was sooooo well prepared by the chefs….amazing!)

So…..3 high calorie days out of the last 5…..and I can feel an expanded stomach, and saw the extra bodyweight today on the scale. Panick time? No way. Not this time. Never again, actually. I’m going to just “do things right” on this 3 day meat / water cycle…..no “starving myself”, etc. Tomorrow I’ll likely (if I can do a redeplete….I’m pretty well toasted today as far as muscles)….eat 450 grams of meat mix. That’s a lot more than the usual “day after”…..but I think I need this better balance of more on meat days so I don’t feel the need to eat more (crap) on refeed days. An “all dinner / no dessert” refeed….to be honest….seems like something I’m not ready to do yet.

Ahhhhhhhhh…..but that’s the cool thing, too! Now it’s a challenge!!!!!! MUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!
