So it's weigh in day tomorrow and I'm not really looking forward to it this time... I've actually been feeling pretty good about myself this week but the diet was far from perfect and the only exercise was early on in the week. I'm preparing myself for the worst as far as numbers go. The challenge will be to use that as motivation to push much harder this week with my 5 days of gym work & try and make up for lost time instead of being disappointed and wanting to give up.
I woke up in an awful mood today and I think it's actually partially from the TV I've been watching... been working our way through a series and it's starting to depress me & leaves me feeling quick yuck so I've decided to give it the flick. Only have room for uplifting entertainment right now! I barely made it to the gym - my knees are so bad at the moment I think they're actually worse than when I was performing in shows (oh the irony) & I was due to do sprints AND legs today... just the thought of it made me want to cry! But nevertheless, I stepped into the gym, worked myself out of the misery & managed to do 30 minutes of intense cardio, 20 minutes of sprints AND my tough leg workout (I have 2 versions - today's was the one I always dread).
The walk home was even more challenging... I forgot about my injuries until I finished my workout and then was left in more pain PLUS feeling like jelly. What I would give to own a car right now. The plus side is that I burnt about 700 calories at the gym plus more on the walk to & from so it was a good day's work in the end! I ate about 1600 calories which is fine but I'm struggling to find a routine when I'm at home (work is now easy - I just eat the exact same thing every day) and am left feeling bloated and yuck. Will spend some time re-working my home diet tomorrow once the numbers are in. Well that ended up being a longer update than planned! Time for bed and to face that dreaded weigh-in in the morning. Back soon.
