Tuesday was a great hour of cardio, it was great to be freed from the TV. and enjoy a completely tiring workout.
I have not yet figured out my exact schedule but that will be done by Sunday. Saturday I meet with the nutritionist at lifetime. I am excited to get some straight answers to all the stuff that I have been reading in reguards to nutrition. Some of the questions are; do I start eating the nutritional make up for an endurance athlete right now or do I focus primarily on weight loss or is there a real difference? How many calories a day am I really supposed to be consuming to reach my weight loss goals in the time I want them. Pretty much I want her to tell me exactly what to do and give examples not just a bunch of fitness speak. I have enough work out background to be able to muddle through the work outs and chose the right ones and be relatively successful, but when it comes to nutrition I have no clue what is fact and what is just something that worked well for one person and what is utter rubbish.
This weekend the refrigerator contents get overhauled and Sunday is a cooking day. This week I ate pretty good, one egg, bacon, cheese, potato taco for breakfast, a side salad and soup, maybe some oatmeal raisin cookies and tea or water for lunch, and then a salad and roast beef sandwich for supper. I have felt, well, great. interesting thing though, I broke down and had Mexican food for supper tonight and it felt heavy. There is a first time for everything.
My muscles in my chest and arms have pretty much stopped hurting so it must mean that it's time for another round of weights. I really enjoyed the pain to an extent, mainly because I knew the old muscles were firing up again and it did feel great. About the only muscles that I really want to get bigger are my biceps and my delts . the tri's need defining not growth. I don't want to get Arnold big, just big enough to be slightly on the muscular side and still be fit enough for endurance races.
I am fed up with this plantars faciitis. I can not wait for it to be healed up so I can get back to running. I never knew that I liked running as much until this happened, or , is it that it is one of the key parts to my triathlon goals and I need to get that heading in the right direction. I am not sure, just frustrated with the whole thing.
Monday A.M. I weigh and then I will be weighing in every Monday. those weights will be posted here as well as the official weight from my meeting with the trainer once a month starting in May. I am starting to picture myself and what I will look like when I am physically fit and sometimes I have to shake my head at my imagination. sometimes it has me looking better than sly Stallone in Rocky 4, not realistic but fun at the same time.
