Well, that did not go as thought or planned. I had thought my wife was going out with friends to see a movie and eat dinner and would be with the boys. Normal stuff, Minecraft and my planned meal.
Boy was I wrong. The"friend" bailed and left my wife upset and feeling down. I pulled some strings and found a last minute sitter for the kids and I filled in for her on the night out. It was good to be away from the kids with just her. We had dinner and did a small amount of birthday shopping for the older boy. Then we saw St. Vincent, good and touchingly sad movie. I am glad I went, because I would not have seen the movie otherwise as it is not to my watching tastes.
Food was terrible as it relates to Carb Cycling but amazingly good to eat. I had a top sirloin steak with greek salad and fries. Also I had soda both with dinner and movie as well as Reese's Pieces to snack on.
Not anything like the diet, but I feel I needed to live in the moment and go with it. We never get out as a couple and I was not going to get all picky with food and drink and spoil her night out. Tomorrow is another day..a low carb day.
Actually we talked about that and are not sure what to do as it relates to Sundays. Our High Carb days are Mon/Wed/Fri when she has cardio at her gym. Tues/Thurs/Sat are Low Carb since she is doing resistance workouts those days. Sunday could either be a free day or a low day.
We thought about hybridizing it and making at a low carb day with cheat meal since it is family time. That gives us flexibility to eat well and still have a little fun with the kids and not have to wait all week for more "cheats". I am not trying to undue the plan, but modify it a little to suit my situation without going overboard.
Time will tell
