Well I got on the scale this morning and the roller coaster for the week has obviously started. And I’m cool with that. Especially now that I know what is actually happening. But also it made me rethink what I did yesterday and even though we’re almost a month into this, I am still not immune to boredom grazing.

Yesterday was one of the first days in the last few weeks that we really literally had nothing to do. And I found myself constantly looking for something to eat. Which is kind of weird. Because even though I was being mindful of the quality of the fuel that I was consuming, I was not being mindful of the quantity of the fuel that I was consuming.

So now that tells me I need to be even more mindful. Not just of the quality but of the quantity that I am fueling my body. It probably wouldn’t have been a big deal if there would have been a lot of exercise involves yesterday. But you don’t need as much fuel if you are not going to be exercising. That caloric deficit becomes more important on days that you’re not doing your workouts. Any day you have a rest day, you’ve got to subtract your calories in an equal manner.

Lesson learned.

We are off to the mountains for a couple of days. So I probably won’t be doing any blog post on Tuesday or Wednesday. I’m assuming that I will show some mindful restraint with what I consume while we’re camping. And I know I’ll be getting plenty of exercise. Have a great week I’ll talk to you on Thursday.

Peace
