Sick of counting calories already..alternatives?
Boy, am I tired!
I did the 4km run yesterday and was pleased with the fact that I could actually complete it - I havn’t done much jogging lately, only 10 - 15mins here and there. The legs held up well and I spent a good amount of time stretching after wards.
I havn’t had a true rest day in a week and i’m really feeling it. Tomorrow I will kick my feet up in a spa full of fragrant oils and salts:)
Saturday was Back day: my Deadlift technique is getting better each time, i’m only lifting 32kgs (plus bar) until I am confident to go heavy.
Today is Chest/ Shoulders.
For the last week or so I have gone back to counting calories/ tracking macros. I plan my food a day ahead and make sure it all adds up to 1800cal, 20-30% fat/30-40% pro/40% carbs. I have to say something:
I’m sick of it already.
Counting calories, tracking food, calculating etc etc etc is something I have done for weight loss for a very long time - up until the start of this year. I stopped all of this because it became too controlling in my life.
I am feeling this creep in to my life again, and I have only been tracking for 1 week!!! How do you all do it?! I would love to hear how people manage their day to day food choices, and if they count calories - then how do you do it with out obsessing over it all?
It was very ‘freeing’ to not count calories and be so rigid over my food for the last 5 months. I would love to find a balance between this and tracking my food that will still allow me to lean up nicely
I understand that what you eat/how much you eat affects 80% of the way your physique turns out. I hate to think all this hard work in the gym is going down the toilet because I am doing something wrong with my food intake, be it portion size or whatever.
