John10251's Journal, 21 April 2021

I have mixed emotions about my compliance yesterday. Yesterday was my Wife's birthday, and we planned to go out for dinner. It was our first real outing since the virus interrupted everyone's life. I tried to plan for the day. I got in a decent workout in the morning. Then I had a low calorie breakfast and lunch in preparation for a big dinner. All was going to plan. She loves Mexican food and at the restaurant I was confident that I had allotted enough calories to enjoy her company, a good meal and even dessert when we returned home. When we got back home a little later than usual, I thought it was unlikely that I could get in enough steps and burn enough calories to reach all my activity goals. This morning when checking my stats I noticed that I had reached my minimum calories burned goal and was only 600 steps from reaching my step goal. I gave up too early but today is a new day and an opportunity to do better. I'm still here and feeling well. Yesterday I ate "Well" at 103% of goal, far exceeded my protein goal and missed meeting my step goal. 518kcal deficit // BF↑0.1%
152.6 lb Lost so far: 10.4 lb.    Still to go: 0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Allowing days of indulgence for special occasions should be a part of our lives. You did really well balancing a meal out with your wife.As long as we stick to our plans in maintenance most days, a day here & there of eating more/ exercising less will be fine.

Thanks, Lorielundgren I totally agree. Perfectly imperfect is my compromise... LOL
