I'm not sure how that is possible. We walked 4.5 miles yesterday in some challenging terrain. My glutes are sore. It took us 2 hours, so we weren't moving fast, but I think I used muscles that I don't typically use. We maneuvered over ice and mud and rocks.
My calorie intake was reasonable. I had an apple and a Baby Bell Gouda for breakfast, a sweet potato for lunch, 28 almonds as a snack after hiking, lots of water, and a BLT salad for dinner: romaine, tomato, onion, 2 pieces of bacon, 100 g chicken breast, avocado, 1 hard boiled egg and homemade blue cheese dressing...with greek yogurt instead of sour cream as a base. It was a big salad; easily 2 heaping cups or more. Over the course of the evening, We stayed up late and watched SNL and I poured 3 glasses of wine, but only drank two. I dumped the 3rd. It always seems like another glass is a good idea when I pour it, but by the time I get around to taking a sip it just doesn't sound good anymore. In any case, I'm guessing it's the wine that's the problem. One glass doesn't seem to be an issue, but when we go out and I have more than that, or on weekends if I get lax on the amount, it's an issue.
Today I have some running to do, some spring cleaning to do, and I'll get a long walk outside, but just in town...nothing challenging. I will lift some weights, no wine, and either shoot for a steak day or perhaps just a low carb veggie/protein loaded day. We'll see.
