Week 20 Day 4

This morning I started my day with a 6 mile jog.  It was 77 degrees out with 84% humidity and that was at 4am!   I averaged 13 minute miles which is slightly slower than last time.  The weather was cooler last time and I forgot to bring my camelback for rehydration  and I was needing some water.  Not excuses, just stating the facts.

Work flew by today and once I got home I crashed!  5.5 hours of sleep a night is not enough and it caught up to me.  I caught a hour of sleep and I did not want to get up when I heard the alarm.  I actually considered setting the alarm for the morning and seeing if I would sleep through to the AM.   I could not do it though as I have a pet to feed and a workout to get to.

I was pretty sluggish when I first got to the gym.  I quickly snapped out of it and had a great workout.

I was again sweating and panting by the time I was done.  Since I ran this morning I did not want to do the regular squats with weight.  I was saving myself from extra soreness.  I feel like this totally kicked my butt!  I also skipped bench pressing since I was so weak at it last time after pull-ups and dips.  I will move Bench pressing and over head presses to another day when I can be fresh.

With Dinner tonight I took the easy way out.  I went to Boston Market and bought chicken, red potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans and creamed spinach.  Obviously not all my choices were great ones but I did not have it in me to cook tonight.  I will be trashing the creamed spinach.  It used to be my favorite but I don’t like it anymore.  I do have too much carbs in the meal but I was light on carbs for the day so it was ok for this time.  Next time I am in this situation I will need to remember to go to Subway instead and have a sandwich.

Calorie-wise I was doing great up to dinner.  I ended up eating 1,460 calories  in dinner alone.  Way too much!  I totalled 2,559 calories for the day.  300 hundred to many.    Real life Baby, this is real life.  I expect tomorrow I will have a better handle on the food consumption.  Seems when I go off the plan one day I do bounce back the next.
