Yesterdays (6/8/09) Recap:
Exercise
Kettlebell swings, t-pushups, one-armed chest presses, leg extensions, stability ball rollouts
Did these exercises superslow with low reps (except for the kb swings, of course), and on the second set of t-pushups, my arms nearly gave out. Completed all sets, though. Another bonus from the slow reps: my abs are feeling sore this morning. Those stability ball rollouts are wicked.
Food
Still working on the protein intake. However, I'll also discuss this with my running coach, and see what her recommendations are. It's frustrating how nutrition is the one area I am always lagging behind in. I think that's why I didn't track what I ate for a long time - it just seemed pointless after a while. If I can't something right or perfect, I don't want to continue and it's a lot easier for me to get workouts in, but not to plan meals.
Today, so far:
Ditched my morning run, and will probably just walk for 30 minutes instead. I also have bellydance class tonight, so I don't feel bad about not running. Also, tomorrow is my first official speedwork session! I want to feel as ready and prepped for it as possible - don't want any nasty surprises on the track.
