That will work for you as long as you pay attention to calories....don't
kill your weekday progress on the weekends by eating WAY TOO MUCH! It's
possible, believe me. Eat reasonably and you can relax a bit and be social
with your gf (and appear normal!). Seems to be working for if you can get
back on plan without issues. Make those extra carbs count in the gym, too!
