So it was Wednesday night and I was attending a friend’s birthday BBQ, now before I went I had nothing but good intentions. I decided if I was going to eat I’d skip the burger buns and just have the meat!
Needless to say I failed! Then a friend pulls out a can of Budweiser!
I haven’t had a drink for two weeks and have started to feel a lot better for it; my mind seems clearer and it’s an amazing feeling waking up on a Saturday/Sunday without feeling like crap!
So I take the Bud and honestly it tasted pretty good, then the old think tank kicks in and I’m worrying about my calories for the day are going to be off the chart, especially with the burger buns!
Then I started to put things in perspective, right now on average I’m consuming around 700 calories a day, so say it that’s 5000 calories a week (give or take a few), that is still a caloric deficit of 9000 assuming I was normally consuming 2000 calories a day!
So what am I getting at? I think at times we need to switch off and enjoy life; we aren’t machines on a mission to eat and train with 100% perfection all the time! Even though we are strict with what we eat and drink we still need to socialise with friends and family and if that means we have the odd beer so be it!
When it comes to eating healthy if you have the first 80% spot on, the last 20% isn’t a big deal!
