Workout
It’s the end of my first week with the Striver’s Resistance Workout, Level 2. It took just over an hour, maybe a few minutes more than the last time. There were some distractions (on a Saturday), but I did all the sets.
Nutrition
I ate very well for a Saturday, if that’s any indication of my eating habits. I suspect I am not alone! Today, though, I started a little late on my workout, which meant that by the time I had my post-workout meal, it was lunch instead of breakfast, and there was no snack in between. I had a busy afternoon, so I skipped my afternoon snack too. Dinner was a higher-calorie meal, and I did have a TV-time snack (if you know what I mean), but when I added it all up, I still had a 200-calorie deficit for the day.
I had no caffeine today, either. Of course, when I was at the supermarket buying ingredients for yam black bean chili, and more protein bars, I did take a longing look at the Starbucks counter, but I kept on walking.
Health and well-being
I got a decent night’s sleep. What that actually means is that I woke up at my usual early time, because my body is used to that, but then I got myself back to sleep for a while longer. I didn’t feel drained all day as I did on the previous resistance workout day. As I mentioned above, I ran some errands, but I relaxed too. It’s not that I need more time looking at the Internet and TV, but it’s fun to just kick back for a few hours on the weekend.
