Workout
I didn’t work out at all today. I considered an afternoon treadmill session, like I did last Sunday, but it didn’t happen. As I have mentioned before, Tony and I agree that it’s OK to take a break now and then. I am planning ahead for a good workout tomorrow.
Nutrition
Today I attended church, which included that little coffee and cake hour. As a matter of fact, I was one of the people supplying goodies this week, and I did not disappoint. Breakfast and lunch were reasonable, and then for dinner my wife suggested ordering some chicken teriyaki, which was not terrible calorie-wise, but for the whole day I was over by 500+ calories. Now might be a good time to mention Ben Greenfield’s “Get Fit Guy” podcast about How to Lose Fat and Gain Muscle at the Same Time, in which he suggests maintaining a calorie deficit (about -500 or so per day) most of the week, and having a “refeeding” day 1-2 days a week. I need to work on the calorie deficit part, for sure, and “refeeding” is not supposed to be more than a 500-calorie surplus. I made it sound good, though, right?
Health and well-being
I had a good night’s sleep, a cup of coffee mid-morning, no workout, and extra food. Life is good! Tomorrow, though, it’s back to reality. As Tony once said, “Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was your body.”
