So overall, I sucked. Yesterday was great until I got home. Then my friend wanted to go out to the market and we said yes. But I also still had to grocery shop and prepare the dough for cinnamon buns. Yes, cinnamon buns. I'm on a deficit and I made cinnamon buns for some friends who came over for brunch. **sigh**But that left me with no time to workout. So I called it a day and figured I would consider it an OFF day for cals. Hubby and I had a celebratory, end of the school year, drink together at home. 130 cals worth for me.......
I'm having a hard time with the rigidity of OPT remix. I feel like if I can't follow the program to 100% then I need to work a different method. For example, today, we're going on a hike. This isn't a leisurely walk through the woods. It's called the Grouse Grind and it's nature's stairmaster from hell...the type where I'm cursing 1/2 way because it feels like it should be 3/4 of the way and I am working very hard. They say that your best 10K time is how long it takes to do the grind and yet I think the grind is harder. Anyways, if I do the Grind w/o carbs then I feel it. B/c I'm burning way more cals I am going to eat some extra carbs before. But I'm not sure at what point my occasional extra exercise will adversely affect my progress on this program. Summer just provides so many opportunities to go outside and be active! OTOH, I can just work through today's anomaly the best I can and then carry on the rest of the week following the plan. Perhaps that's what I'll do.....
