Ahhhh, a rest day. My evening meeting was cancelled so I got to come home from work and just relax tonight.
I took it easy all day, focused a lot on my work and didn't get many steps in, and slacked up on my diet. Today is the first day in since I started that I consumed more calories than I spent - and a lot of them were carbs. I made the mistake of not preparing my meals ahead of time and ended up eating suboptimally.
Typically I try to eat less on rest days, but I've been training hard and figured a little cheating wouldn't hurt - and may even be beneficial! Since I did have more carbs than usual today, I will be well primed for Back Day tomorrow.
I will post the 3d body scan I did last weekend and some sample meal plans this weekend, so stay tuned for those.
Now I'm off to watch a movie and go to bed early. Stay strong Steemians! :)
