Cardio day!
This morning was pure cardio and so was my afternoon workout. In the AM I jogged 15 minutes to break a sweat then I did the elliptical machine for 20 minutes and then the stair stepper for 15 minutes as well. In the afternoon I followed a similar routine with 15 minutes jogging, 20 minutes on the elliptical machine and 25 minutes on the stair stepper. I normally only do 30 minutes of cardio in the afternoons but wanted to get some extra time in today since tomorrow’s jog will be a short one so I can get my wife to the airport before I leave to work.
Nutrition today was higher on calories than I like but I really wanted some carbs and made a brown rice with black beans, corn, tomatoes, green onion and 6 garlic cloves. I cooked some steak to go with it.
This was my second bowl! I did eat 2,459 calories when it was all said and done. That is too much but I wanted some carbs to see if my legs will feel better. When jogging this morning and afternoon my legs felt like they were rubbery. Tomorrw will be the real test. All I can say is not even professional athletes hit a home run each time at bat, and today calorie-wise I might have struck out. I still have tomorrow to lean up some for the weigh-in on
