Wiped Out


Yesterday's Weigh In: 306
Workout: 80 minutes yesterday, 775 for April


I didn't blog yesterday and it was the first day I haven't done so in a LONG time. The reason? I was completely exhausted. I had nothing left. It was a long week, and on a Friday night, it was 9:30am and I was ready for bed. Usually I stay up late on Friday night, Erin and I go out and do something fun, and last night, I apparently turned 80 years old. I was out for the count.

It's definitely taking its toll on me working out at 5:30am every morning. I used to work out around 7:30, 8:00.. and 5:30 is a completely different world. Its one of those things that I DREAD when the alarm goes off at 4:45, but when I'm walking out of the gym at 7:00 and I've got my workout done and I'm ready for my day, I feel like a million bucks. Plus, having a workout partner is worth its weight in gold, so it's something that is TOTALLY worth it. My body just needs to adjust to it. Last night, I don't remember being so tired in my life.

So, we went to Mountain Jacks last night, and going into dinner, I didn't have even a thousand calories counted. I ended up eating pretty healthy (this is a place where the diet could fly out the window), but I did manage to get over 2000 calories yesterday. It's a complete estimate, because I couldn't find Mountain Jacks on a calorie counter, but I had a dry chicken breast with red skin potatoes, a mushroom gravy (that I put on the side and regulated instead of having poured onto the top), and a good salad to go with it. Tasted awesome.

Another pretty good day. I definitely needed this weekend though, I'm exhausted. Woke up at 10:30am this morning, I NEVER do that. Well earned, I suppose.

Sounds like you earned the extra sleep indeed! I'm so not a morning person either. I exercise at night. :o)

I agree. When the alarm goes off (3:30am) It is hard to get up, I just remind myself how great it feels when I get to the gym :)
