Fat Loss: Week Two, Day Three

You just never know when you're going to do something dumb that will throw you a curveball. Yesterday while biking, a couple of times my foot slipped of the pedal while hitting it quite hard. It didn't bother me at the time, but upon waking this morning I could hardly move my left foot due to pain in the achilles tendon.

Yeesh.

So I had to select exercises that didn't involve ankle movement. Not as limiting as I thought with what I do workout-wise, but it still bloody well hurt.

I came within spitting distance of my calorie target today... which is to say I hit it since it's not THAT accurately calculated. Again, I'm actually finding that I have to go out of my way to reach my target since I'm not snacking as much or eating calorically dense foods.

One thing you might notice if you're following my progress is that even on days where I track what I eat, I do venture off and have some tortilla chips, a bit of chocolate or a beer. The thing I'm trying to show here is that my approach is sustainable for the long run. It's adjusting one's eating habits for the long haul, not just to "lose 10 pounds in 10 days" or whatever. That's why I'm eating realistically and not being drill sargeant strict with myself.
