Difficult past 36 hours…
The past day and a half I have really deviated from my nutritional plan. It all began when I got held over at work for 8 hours Wed morning, by the time I got home I was exhausted skipped the cardio and went straight to bed. I hadn’t packed enough meals for the extra hours I worked as it was unplanned, I made the smartest choices I could considering I had to eat on the go (very busy day, everyone wanted to call 911) still tho these meals were not apart of the overall plan. I ended up awaking at 0230hrs on Thursday morning didn’t do cardio as it was leg day and I never do cardio on leg day or atleast not prior to training. I got two meals in before training and had a fantastic session. A good friend of mine is in town vacationing so after getting my post workout meal in, I packed my cooler and headed out for the beach. I got home, showered and was laying down taking a nap when my cell phone rang, it was a text message from the department and they needed a medic to come in ASAP for a night shift. Being that i am a overtime ho, I took it and rushed out….no food packed, and I forgot my protein at home as well. THe early hours of the shift were busy so again had to eat on the run, I got some chicken and broccolli from a chinese carry out place, not bad but not great either. While I haven’t been binge eating or making stupid choices, these meals haven’t been apart of the plan and being OCD about my progress I honestly feel like I can see a difference in my mid section the past 2 days and its not for the better. My plan is to go straight chix breast all weekend, keeping my cals low while sustaining high protein. I only have to train arms later today before coming back into work so this shouldn’t effect my performance and hopefully i’ll feel a little more back on track by Monday morning.

LMAO at overtime ho!! I think I see a difference whenever I eat out, too, but once the sodium/fat levels off you’ll look amazing again… you’re doing awesome, keep it up!!
