Day 256

Day after Tabata!.  In case you're wondering, yes the exclamation point is supposed to be there.  It just feels right to say TAbata with an exclamation point.  I feel good so I didn't over do it in Tabata but at the same time I know I worked a bit harder than normal.  And that's what I wanted out of it.  I realize I've taken it easy in a way in the past.  I'm stronger and fitter than I think or imagine.  Plus the procrastinator in me wants to shine it on and convince myself I'm working hard.  Wow I can't believe I admitted that to myself.  I guess I need to work harder and maybe I'll see the results I've been looking for in the past year.  Of course I could also be setting myself up for some injuries so gotta temper the enthusiasm with cold hard facts.  I'm not an athlete so I need to ease into this workout thing I've set myself up for.  At the same time I want to do it.

Okay enough philosophizing on to what I ate (as we know that's what actually causes the issues):

Breakfast: Egg, ham, turkey sandwich with tomato and avocado on a skinny bun.  Banana and 20oz of cold water.

Skipped snack

Lunch: Low carb wrap with broccoli, spinach, quinoa patty, tomato, carrot shreds, and BBQ sauce.

Technically 1st snack: Apple Pie Larabar

Dinner: Greek yogurt.  Hummus with cauliflower and baby carrots.  Pistachios, which I've had all week but I don't think I've included them in the list before now.  Also the 5 seed cookie and the rice cracker snack.

I did cardio tonight but instead of the stair stepper I did the upright bike and tried to up the ante during the hill segment.  It was a bit awkward but I got a good idea of how I will try to use this apparatus in the future.  I of course speak of the training for the biathlon.  Which is in 10 months.  Yikes.
