Thurs
Calories Burned: 2227, Calories Consumed: 1345, Deficit 882

Exercise: Yoga: Altar of the Heart My favorite yoga practice.. it just makes me feel all aaaahhhh.

Today I felt so refreshed after sleeping 10 hrs. Had a protein shake and 1/2 a vitamuffin, did a favorite workout Amy's Kickbox Surge, had lunch (steak and veggies) started crashing again and ended up taking a 3 hour nap.

My energy levels are so low. I guess it is because I'm dieting 'for real' now. I'm used to working out 6 days a week. I'm going to stop trying to do the cardio @ 70% MHR recommended in OPT and try some lower intensity stuff until I adjust. I'm not seeing myself getting to intervals any time soon. I usually don't have any issue on the strength days.. I feel pretty energized actually.

So, I think I'll use the OPT strength workouts with lower intensity cardio this month, then try bumping the intensity up after I come back from vacation the last week of July.

I finally picked up my hard copy of FLTS from Staples today so I will start reading it again -- I have a hard time not skimming online.
