No work, but working

Had a lovely day of no weight training that I utilized to do lots of movement (almost 10 miles) and mobility work.

I almost blew it with yesterday's first meal - made what amounted to an almost 1400 calorie burrito. Turkey sausage, eggs, sweet potato and a ton of veggies couldn't offset the wrap itself, the cheese, the sour cream and the guac. 

It had to weigh a couple pounds, at least.

Dinner was a clean sub 400 with rotisserie chicken, green beans, exactly one and a half roasted fingerling potatoes, a little sourdough, and some tzaziki just for kicks.

Lesson learned, though - no matter how much good you cram in a wrap or burrito, it can still quickly add up. I still ended the day in a calorie deficit so all was well.

Meal one today came in right at 750 calories - much, much more reasonable. Moving from Dave's bread to fresh sourdough feels like the right move... Had more this morning along with two fried eggs, turkey breakfast meats, and a big green salad with apple and feta.

Will be doing a couple slabs of ribs later for the holiday. That will be a post-workout meal if all goes to plan. I might have some careful balancing to do in order to keep it sensible and remain at a deficit for today, too.
