This is my first full overfeed day.
The toughest thing about this type of program is shifting mindset back and forth between strict calorie restriction and the over feeding.
7AM Started the day with a full MRP shake (classic grow) (300 calories, 40 protein, 24 carbs, 4 fat)
9 AM out the door with another MRP shake and a cliff bar. (we had to be in the bay area for a couple of meetings by noon)
So far, I'm a little disappointed that I haven't been able to get any real food in. Real life sometimes requires adjustments and convenience foods like the shake and energy bars can be appropriate when they fit into the overall scope of the plan.
12pm Chipoltle for lunch - fajita burrito bowl with carnitas, black beans, rice, hot sauce, lettuce and guacamole. (I'm one that usually skips all the extra rice, but that's one of the necessary elements of the overfeed in this plan)
1pm - it's my buddy's birthday and he wants me to buy him a birthday drink at our old hang out bar. Here's the first big challenge of my program. Grey goose martinis for him and club soda with lime for me... 2 hours of near torture, but liquor just won't fit into the program for me. I'll take that as a win and chalk up it up to supporting the "iron will" necessary to make the kind of changes I'm looking for.
3:30 a slice of organic Hawaiian pizza at the new Whole Foods market in Los Altos, CA. I understand that this is currently the largest Whole Foods in the country. This was an experience... everything seems to be done right; healthy prepared foods, departments with fresh, natural meats, sea foods, cheeses, organic produce and first class service. Markets like this could make people actually want to consume healthier foods.
7pm dinner - Chile Verde with black beans, a quesadilla and a small green salad.
It feels like I was eating all day.... I guess I was eating all day.
Today was a successful day. Plenty of food, no alcohol and still managed to enjoy the company of some old friends.
