Well it's the end of the day on day 2 of my carb depletion and I've feeling much better than I did yesterday! Yesterday after 8 hours of sleep and then a 3 hour nap I went to bed at midnight (early for me) and slept another 10.5 hours! Yikes! My body thought it was going into hybernation! I got up and went to the gym to do my pre-breakfast sedentary cardio and thought I was going to die I was so tired! After 30 minutes on the arc trainer I got to eat my breakfast of 5 eggwhites, 1 whole egg, 1/3 c. red bell pepper and 1/2 c. broccoli. I added all the veggies in the hopes that it would power me through the rest of my workout. After my quick breakfast (still at the gym) I got back to it and ran sprints on the treadmill then tried to blow through my circuit workout. BOY WAS THAT ROUGH! Stairclimbes with dumbells, box jumps, upright rows, bungee bicep curls, squats, bungee tricep pull downs, lat raises, up and overs, bulgarian lunges, and kettle bell sqaut thrusts... TIMES 5! Literally I did that circuit 5 times and was in tears by the end of set 2! At the peak of my frustration I got a text message...My amazing trainer who is in California at Disneyland with her family had sent me a video of herself saying "Get going Katie!" It was too cute and too wonderful of her and it totally made me smile and helped me finish my workout. It was long...it was hard...but I got through it.
I got a second wind around 4:00, enough to do three loads of laundry and cook three pounds of chicken and now I'm home and getting ready for bed. Hopefully my energy is on an upswing for the rest of the week and the pounds start dropping! I'll keep you posted on that :)
GOODNIGHT!
Katie
