Friday morning I worked out with Mr. Muscles at 5am again! And this time I woke up at 3:58 to do it. I ate a few bites of yogurt before my workout and I was proud of myself. Unfortunately, Mr. Muscles wasn't. :( It wasn't enough food. It wasn't enough calories and I needed to eat after my cardio before weight training. Darn It!
Friday afternoon I had about 3/4 cup of risotto for lunch with some chicken in it. But then after work I went shopping and met up with some friends for a late movie. I ended up shopping too long and didn't have time to get anything to eat for dinner. The movie was over a little before midnight and on my drive home I was hungry. But I didn't know what was better - to eat that late right before bed or not to eat. So I chose not eating.
Saturday morning I went to the gym and asked Mr. Muscles which was better. And before I got my answer, I got another lecture! I think all he's done this week is scold me for not doing a good job. :( And then he gave me his advice: eat. He said that late in the evening I should eat protein. It will make my body work overnight and keep my metabolism up. And then I told him why I asked...and how I'd barely eaten on Friday. I should have just kept that to myself.
So I made a conscious effort to eat on Saturday. I had a protein drink after my workout. I had a salad for lunch. I had some delicious chicken for dinner. Go me! :) And I walked alot outside. I strolled along the Missouri river during the day and then walked around the Nelson Art Gallery in the evening.
And then I just realized it's 5:50pm and all I've had to eat so far is a protein drink about 9am. Darn It! I thought I was starting a new eating trend. Tomorrow's a new day. Tomorrow I will be more vigilant and eat better. And I'm back to my workout schedule in the evenings. Thank goodness - those mornings were brutal!
