Entry Four: Day Three

So today was day three of working out similar to a pro athlete and it just did not go very well. I think I had energy left over in me from the weekend on Monday and Tuesday but today felt impossible. I also feel guilty because I was not nearly productive enough today. I did not wake up to run this morning and I told myself I would just make up for it after school which proved to be an issue when I chose to go to the beach instead of the gym... I did go to the gym right after that at about 5:00, but I was on a tight schedule because I had to meet my dad for dinner at 6:15. So I ran for a little over a mile until my legs felt like they were going to fall off. Then I decided to go right to machine work and finish with biking. I was super productive today machine wise, I got around to everything I needed to do and even more so that was good. Sadly, I did not reach my 10 mile goal for biking today...not even close. I peddled a mere 3.5 miles because not only was I exhausted and my butt hurt from sitting on the bicycle seat, I was running out of my allotted time. So I finished with a quick stretch and had to leave. Today was not a very good gym day. I would say that today was definitely the low point of the week so far. It was just extremely difficult because I am so sore from the previous days. The diet is going well though, I think anyway. I ate a lot of pretzel sticks (instead of chips or cheezits) after school today as my pre-workout/beach snack. And for dinner I had half of a 6 oz. steak and vegetables and a salad. I don't eat past 8:00 because your metabolism slows down and that's pretty new for me. Tomorrow I have to be more productive even if it requires a great couple of doses of Advil because today was just not acceptable.
