Thursday
Sprints on the bike- warmed up at level 5 for 5 minutes, then took it up to level 10 and sprinted 8 rounds 20:10 (20 seconds on, 10 seconds off), then cooled down for a couple of minutes.

Then I spent 15 minutes stretching my hips, legs, back, you name it. Since working out in the mornings, I feel very rushed. I only have so much time to warm-up, workout, then get ready for work. As a result, stretching has sort of been forgotten. Not a good plan, so days like today, after a quick workout on the bike for only 10 minutes, I remind myself to just chill and stretch. It's very needed.

Few things on the food front-
1. I've been eating terrible lately. First my family was here so we ate out a lot and drank a lot. Then at work I've been chewing on candy that was left all over my desk for my birthday. Yesterday I went to Dairy Queen with a co-worker b/c she was having a bad day (I was not) and I ordered a Moolatte- pretty darn good I might add. Yesterday afternoon I realized I didn't pack enough snacks so I popped a bag of popcorn from the vending machine.

Enough. I don't mind splurging once in a while, but I need to be careful.

2. As you know, we eat off the Zone diet, which says you need to eat very specific amounts of carbs, protein, and fat. It's based off mostly how much protein your body needs. I used this Zone block calculator and realized I'm not eating enough protein. It's based a lot on your body fat % so now that mine has become quite a bit lower, I need more protein for all my muscles :)

Take a look at the calculator- are you getting enough protein?

This was my first morning eating a 4-block breakfast instead of the typical 3-blocks. (i.e. 28g of protein vs 21g of protein) I'm curious to see how I feel as the day progresses. I'll also be eating a larger lunch but then my dinner will be the same size as normal. I'm not an evening eater- I have trouble eating a full 3 blocks at dinner now but I'm always hungry in the morning.

Ramblings. Sorry. Tomorrow I'll update my debt payoff bar!
Until tomorrow,
