Day 5

Worked from 12-6:30 today and it was a KILLER! I work at the Commissary here on the Base and today we had a case lot sale! LOTS of lifting of heavy boxes and containers. I got home and was POOPED! So pooped, that I did not workout today. Because of that I think I'll make Fridays and Saturdays (case lot sale continues tomorrow) my 2 off days each week. I know I got quite a bit of a workout with all that bending and lifting today. Case lot sale + military pay day + military down day + holiday weekend = sheer madness ALL day!

I went over my alloted calories and carbs today. Not because of how much I ate, but because of what I ate. We ran out of the Fiber One chewy bars that I always have for brekky, so I had to have a bowl of Raisin Bran Crunch. That, plus the milk, tacked on some extra carbs, protein, AND calories. Oh well, at least now I know what to eat when I need to make up some ground in those areas, lol!

I'm really not too concerned with going over my calorie allowance because I'm really not going by MFP's recommended allotment. I set my own at 1,500. The last time I checked, MPF had me somewhere around 1,700 - and that's WITHOUT exercise! I may just switch over to MPF's recommendation. Right now I'm just experimenting and feeling things out
