Okay team...
In my last blog I complained about the residual fat. Today i am going to admit how I made it worse.
So the sad news is that I buried a family member on Thursday and we held the wake today. It has been a rough week of preparation and review and yet I have held steady. The family is tough and they helped make it easy. Then I get that crazy email from Patrick saying that we get a little food vacation. Mind you this is as I am hitting both diet and training targets while being on the road... prepping eggs and eating alone at dinner... and after I complain about the fat that still sits around my waste... so what do I do? Toast my lost friend and hit it!
Friday lunch:
- 1 beer
- 4 chicken wings
- Cobb salad with blue cheese
....my guess is ~450/600 calories
Today's lunch:
- 2 beers
- half a bag of almonds
- half a bag of corn chips
- two bites of ice cream (peanut butter cup and cookie dough)
....my guess is ~750 calories
Now the confusion... I am at JFK in NYC and its midnight. Flight is in an hour. So for dinner tonight I treated it like lunch and had sushi.... carbs from white rice! I figure I will stay up for the first 8 hours on the flight and then sleep the second putting me in line for Monday am arrival at 5am. That means that I completely missed Sundays work out.
My solution is to do Sunday work out on Monday and combine Monday and Tuesdays work out on Tuesday... going to be a long week. But then next week I am in Nippon and get to catch up with the love of my life...always a silver lining!
Now back to the food... Well I was definitely aware of what I was eating. I thought about it but continued straight in based on Patricks push...although I admit that I over did it by at least 1000 calories. So how did it feel?
- Chips and nuts... first were way to salty and I think I went too far
- Wings.... great!
- Beer...very cold and very good! Even though I am not a beer drinker
- Blue cheese... unnecessary
Overall the binge still made me very happy.
Now back to the gut busting and the promise to go kick Brents ass this week at least twice!
Good luck team!
hello, silver lining here ;-)
ReplyDeleteif it makes you feel any better about your over indulgence... i confessed I had slice of bread in the evening with a bit of honey on it the other day.... but to be completely truthful, there was a little bit more than 'a bit' of honey involved..!
hurry up and get your ass back here mister! xox muaah
you guys are crazy ... marcus i see that you were able to count the number of chicken wings, beers, wine etc. i had one of those dreaded nights where i could not remember how many beers, wines, burgers i had consumed... yikes
