This holiday week, I was not 100% with tracking & hitting my macros. But no regrets! I enjoyed spending time with my best friend who came home for the holiday, and also spending time with my boyfriend’s family & some of our friends. It’s all about balance & enjoying life. It won’t kill you to take some time off your regular routine.
I have no memory of what I did on Saturday the 27th and I didn’t track anything for the whole day and neither made a note (I’m investing in a diary lol). I’m also pretty sure I didn’t train Saturday. Sunday, I hit my macros perfectly.
Monday, my best friend and I went to eat at a fancy restaurant. I had 300g beef fillet with garlic sauce, a baked potato with butter & salt and a small serving veggies, as well as bar one cake for dessert. I did track what I ate according to another websites nutritional values but I’m darn sure the bar one cake’s macros were very much off; it should’ve been much higher in carbs and fats. I had 1g of fat & 51g carbs and 12g protein left over. I was just so so sooo full after this meal, so I didn’t eat much the rest of the day.
On Tuesday, I went way over my fats (by 72g) I ended up having 145g of fats and 342g carbs (17g over) because I chose to enjoy a late breakfast at Wimpy with my friend, we had a bar one milkshake and a chicken mayo baguette. I used the food to fuel my leg session later the day.
Wednesday, I tracked my macros until we went to a friend’s house to celebrate 2015. I had some of the snacks and enjoyed my dinner; I ate mindfully and didn’t binge! So I probably did go over fats & carbs.
I enjoyed the day at my boyfriend’s place on Thursday; I took along my scale and snacks. I tracked my macros perfectly with 40g carbs, 1g fats and 30g protein to spare. We enjoyed wraps for lunch and a massive plate of beetroot; oven baked chips & baked beans. The gym was also closed today so I didn’t train.
Friday, I tracked everything except my dinner & dessert- We celebrated my boyfriend’s grandma’s birthday so I had 2 big slices homemade potbread, a piece of meat & boerewors, with a lovely salad and potato bake. For dessert I had a red velvet cupcake with some ice-cream and 1 KitKat chocolate. I left over 20g fats, 111g carbs & 56g protein. But I’m confident that I went over my macros. I did both Thursday’s upper body & Friday’s lower body this day, the reason that my weight had dropped quite a bit by the time I had to weigh in on Saturday.
My weights for the week= Sunday- 60 ; Monday- 59.7 ; Tuesday- 60.6 ; Wednesday- 59.3 ; Thursday- 60.3 ; Friday- 60.7 & Saturday- 59.5
