I’m going to blame my husband on this one; I was doing so well yesterday, topping out at just under 1700 calories for the day once I had finished dinner. And then he came home from an evening at the pub with his work mates carrying a pizza and a variety of antipasti to share (presumably to make up for coming home so late with a sweet smelling pizza I can’t have!). So I ended up having some mozzarella, a bit of Parma ham, a few sundried tomatoes . . . I was thinking of having the popcorn anyways as I watched TV, and somehow I failed to put it away when my man came home with other nibbles.
This being the case, my average daily calories intake for the week was about 1920, as opposed to the 1854 calories it would have been without last night’s nibbles. But this is OK as my average daily calories burned through exercise were 335, so I had a daily calorie deficit of over 200 calories, so I should still be on track to lose a couple of pounds. Having said that, I am really not meeting my goal of keeping my daily calories below 1800 per day and creating a calorie deficit of 300-500 calories per day. However, I think I would rather lose the weight slowly with more enjoyment of my life and food, than push it and give up all treats for the next three months. Besides, while you cannot out-train a poor diet, I’m sure training for an hour five days a week does offset most of my weekly treats!
