Workout
I completed both circuits of the Level 1 Resistance workout today (times two), but I started out feeling tired and by the end I was exhausted. I like coming into a workout well rested, and of course I am tired when I finish, but I want to be energized, too. I definitely need more rest. After the workout and a shower, I lay on my bed for about half an hour.
Nutrition
For breakfast, my wife made a recipe from a Biggest Loser/Prevention Magazine booklet she found at the supermarket. It was little muffin-shaped balls of egg whites, sliced ham or turkey, and a little cheese. Very tasty, and compatible with Tony’s eating plan. After my workout I had a Pure Protein bar (200 calories). For lunch I had some pulled chicken left over from my birthday dinner, veggies and brown rice. Dinner was turkey broth soup with some tofu and broccoli.
For snacks, I had some chocolate-covered espresso beans (see my description of how tired I was after the workout), and a rice cake with almond butter.
I ended the day at the breakeven point for my calorie count. Not too bad, but not much of a deficit either.
Health and well-being
I took it easy for the rest of the day after my workout. It’s a three-day weekend, so hopefully I will be able to catch up on my sleep.
