Today has been a hard day for me. I woke up feeling tired and drained. I am not sick....just not myself today. I really wanted to skip the workout and crawl back in bed. I didn't want good clean food, I wanted comfort food! This was one of those days that I had to say "Whatever it takes!" I really waited until the afternoon to workout because I was trying to figure out if it was my body tired from training or if it was more an emotional tired as I have been dealing with some crisis stuff this week...By the afternoon I was ready to hit the gym. I did keep my run short today (3 mile in 30 min!) and I did a leg workout:
Squats (weight increase)
lunges (weight increase)
Standing calves (Weight increase)
Leg press (weight increase)
Seated Calve press
Incline crunches
Crossover crunches
hanging abs
rv. crunches
The weight increasing so quickly on my legs is because I am slowly adding weight to see where I need to be with the weights. I don't want my legs sore and stressed going into my half, so I know what I am doing is low for me, but it is safe until after the half....
I felt better after working out...still tired...I think I really need to work on the nutrition side of things....I knwo the calories are low, that is going to have to change, just got to figure out how to get enough and still eat clean..
Nutrition:
Breakfast: cheerios, almond milk and banana
Lunch: 1 egg plus 1 egg white, 1 slice all natural wheat berry toast
Dinner: Baked chicken breast, green beans, apple and walnut brown rice stuffing.
1 + gallon lemon water...
That is it for today! I am going to bed now and hope it is warmer in there than here in my kitchen/office~
that was fast!! (getting your post up that is!) glad you still got your workout in! hope you rest well!! i'm excited for your half, you'll do great!
