So today DD is sick, so I stayed home with her. Typically not good for food, as I'm just sitting here in a house full of choices, and can't get my lunchtime workout in. But I actually managed to do well, cals @ 1500, only one item outside my "planned' foods for the day (50cals).
I do think I may have issues trying to hit the macro ratios when I start OPT next week, specificly protein. Prior to this past week or so where I've been trying to up my protein, I was typically getting like 40-50g/day - on OPT I think I'm supposed to get 40% of my cals from protein. I have to recheck, but I think my deficit for weeks 1-3 on the plan puts me at 1538 cals per day - 40% of that would be 615.2, divide that by 4 to get protein grams - 154!!! I've been getting 90-100 this week, but that's w/ 1/2 a protein powder scoop (taste is too nasty w/ a whole scoop), a cup of greek yogurt (WAY more protein than regular yogurt), and cottage cheese every day. Being primarily veggie is going to make this HARD. I let myself have shrimp occassionally (environmentally/sustainably farmed or caught), but I don't feel comfortable eating it every day or anything....
...Going to have to work to make everything I eat have significant protein in it.
Oh, and I also got myself to ride the stationary bike at home for 30 min. after the kiddies went to bed - not extremely strenuous, but it was something, so yay me.
