Day Ten - Overeating

Nothing of any significance to report. I ate about 2500 calories and have a fairly good idea of how many calories I can consume in a the overeating window. If I'm sticking to better quality foods and I don't eat until I uncomfortably stuff, I'd guess that I'll be in 2200-2500 range 99 times out of a hundred. That's right about what I should be eating. Macro-nutrients remain in the same range 35-C, 35-F, 30-P

I didn't drink enough water, I'm sure of that.

Day Ten - Undereating

I had some coffee and tea with a splash of milk. Jealous? After everything I ate yesterday, I just didn't feel very hungry for anything today, and didn't desire a protein shake after working out either. I will probably have one later tonight though. I'm all out of leafy greens though so I'll have to forgo my spinach salad for the first time in 10 days. I was going to but some during lunch but forgot and getting through the supermarket right before dinnertime and at rush hour is a pain. I'll just munch some veggies. It'll be good. Inflexible diets are never a success. If the success of the Warrior Diet is hinged on the need to eat leafy greens every night, then it's not something I will be following. I will say that I've had that clear focus all day today. Probably finally burned off those excess carbs. I'm beginning to think that grain carbohydrates are the worst, the more processed, the worse they are. I'm fine when I eat bananas or apples (except that one time) or any fruit and veggie carbs but when I loaded up on pasta and ate that bowl of cereal, I felt like garbage. But steel-cut oats don't seem to bother me, probably because they are less processed and harder to digest. I don't know. That's why I experiment.

Day Ten - Exercise

I felt pretty good this morning once I got warmed up. I completed Level 7 Day 2 of the Simplefit program in 9:48, that's almost 2 minutes better than my previous best of 11:39. Granted, I only tried that workout once before but still. I was still feeling good so I did some squats and bench presses. I know, deadlifts and squats in back-to-back days. That was probably stupid but if I didn't do it today, then I'd be off schedule for heavy lifting on Friday, which I like to do because I don't go to the gym on the weekends. I then finished up on some core work.

Because of the nearly 3000 calories I packed away last night, I don't feel the need for a protein shake right now. I think I ate too much last night, I was physically uncomfortable. We've got these little meatballs in tomato sauce, man, I could eat 3 dozen of them, easy, and they're about 500 calories per dozen. I ate too many carbs last night, 46% of my calories, I didn't need that bowl of cereal to top things off. That was all sugar and to be honest, I was a little groggy before my warm-up at the gym and I would guess it was because of all the carbs yesterday. I feel great now.
