Chapter 2: Working Out and Diet - Week 2 (Part 3)

Thursday

I think that I have discovered that I do better when I've eaten my lunch before working out. Normally I go and work out around 11:30 AM and then eat afterwords. For the most part I am tired during the afternoons and I'm wondering if this is why. On Thursdays, I am unable to go and workout until the afternoon. Because of this I ate my peanut butter and jelly around 11:30 AM. At 1:00 PM we worked out. I felt like I had more energy and did not have the mid-afternoon crash. I think next week I will try eating at 10:00 AM. If I have more energy next week, I'll make it a habit.

The actual workout was more of the same. I did the eliptical and then moved onto weights. I walked around the track between my sets of lunges. That seemed to help. When I got to the machine where I lift the weight up with my legs, I upped it to 135 pounds on each side. I may be sore in the morning. The diagonal squats had 45 pounds. Today was a good day!
