Today was a good day. It's been a while since I was able to say that. I had a really good talk with my trainer and he has given me a few new things to try. I'm hoping this kicks me up a notch.
The day did start sluggish. Last night was another sleepless time. I probably pushed harder than I should have. I knew it when I was doing it. I knew it when I felt the twinges in my knee. I know it when it popped. Even though I knew I should have stopped I kept going till the knee would hold up and I had to make myself stop.
I was so tired I didn't take my calcium/magnesium before bed. I have found a couple of those at bed time really helps. Then again I am not sure even that would help much last night. I was so tired when I came in I never even got off the couch when I was done eating. Fell asleep and there I stayed till about 3 this morning. Then, once again, I couldn't get back to sleep for a while. I could not get comfortable because my knee was hurting.
When I woke up this morning, after finally getting back to sleep, I was still have mild pain in it. I kept thinking I had done gone to far. I was letting it get to me. I was using as an excuse not to do anything. I had planned on getting to the gym for some cardio before my training session. That didn't happen. I made excuse and then remembered I need to stop by the Dr office for my meds. By the time I had gotten myself to move and do this it was time for training with James.
When I got there we had a good talk about everything that was going on. And then it was off to grab the boxing gloves. I had plenty I wanted to get punched out. The plan was doing an hour but I had something come up that I had to cut it short at 30 minutes. The great part about it though was when I realized I had burned 336 calories in just 30 minutes of training. That's almost twice what I do on a bike in the same time. I also realized that my knee wasn't bothering me to bad at that time.
After that I had came home for a nap. Well lunch and a nap. I was sleepy tired from last night and the great workout. I had told a friend that I would be going to Bodycombat class but after the nap I wasn't motivated. I was back to looking for excuses but it wasn't meant to be. My friend contacted me to make sure I was going to meet her there. So at the last possible minute I was off for class and was really glad I did. I am still struggling with keeping up but I just keep moving. I did manage to burn off another 527 calories and I really did feel good when I was done. I think the cloud is starting lift up a bit. I actually can say I feel good. I am really happy about the day. Good nutrition and two good workouts. Tomorrow last chance workout :D
