So, my long-term thinking from yesterday has already paid off the short-term debt! After going on and on... and on... about sacrificing the short-term goals in favor of the more important long-term goals, I basically got my cake and ate it. Or, more accurately, I didn't eat it.
Today I'm down, well under my weekend target of 182.6#. It feels great to get there without sacrificing progress on my long-term goals! It was nice it happened fast, and a little surprising. Yesterday I was very active, and had little time to eat. Late in the day, I was way under my macro targets, and had much too large a deficit. I had another short-term/long-term decision: whether to eat and fuel my muscle recovery or go to bed, happy with a 2000-calorie deficit that would probably force my body to burn a tiny bit of muscle. I crammed some protein down my gullet at 11:30 pm and managed to hit my macros pretty well across the board, fully expecting to weigh even more this morning. But, I was pleasantly surprised (though tomorrow might be the day I pay the piper).
Today, I already played hoops, I'll lift weights, and just keep the LGLCHF train a-rollin'!
