TGIF!

Thursday I had an AM doc appt and found out I have an abnormal liver. Better lay off that Aleve!!!

Had a crappy cardio session yesterday as I didn't eat properly beforehand. woke up 15 minutes before my doctor's appt and rushed there only grabbing 1/2 scoop whey protein and 1 egg. I was there for an 1.5 hours and went straight to the gym. Not only was my sodium really low, I was hungry and lacking energy severely!!!

After eating and working (took PTO 4 hours) I went home and did "The Firm total body shaping mix."...

Thank goodness today was Wednesday. Last night I couldn't sleep. I did great on calories before bed but I couldn't fall asleep for 3 hours! I think I have nighttime eating disorder because I can't sleep unless my tummy is full. I get up at night and eat all the time. It isn't until recently that I have realized that I've been doing this. I gorge on food in the middle of the night, especially yogurt. Weird.

Today I was sooo tired from not getting any sleep. No workout today. I did however bike ride for an hour after work. It was a great ride.

What a day! Got up ready for cardio at the gym. When I got there nobody was in the parking lot. Of course - they are closed! No warning or anything yesterday. So I hop tailed it home to do a workout video before I lost my motivation. I did the Firm Cardio sculpt but I paused as soon as they slowed down the cardio bit and got on my elliptical and did 20 minutes. Then I finished the Firm sculpting piece. Great workout! I'm thinking I should do this at least once a week. typically I'm only concerned about calories and making sure I lift but it's no wonder my abs aren't ripped! My body...

My refeed is over for the day! I came home from work and my blood sugar was totally messed up from carbs all day. I started eating bread like crazy!! I ate 8 pieces of bread toasted under the broiler with butter spray. 2 of those pieces I used to make grilled cheese. Then I ate tons of cereal - fiber one, cheerios, and special K high protein. I was stuffed and sick to death. I opted to go bike riding even though it was cold and windy. I survived and ended up getting really hot. It was so fun and wanted to keep going. I had tons of energy!! Don't know if that did damage to my refeed or...

When I go into a workout, my sodium is low but not too low ~124-130. That is low for a normal person but for me that is "my normal." Normal is at minimum 136. By the end of a 40 minute cardio or 20 minute HIIT session I will have been through 40-60 oz of water while working out. In the last part of my workout if I continue I'll consume another 20 oz. If I don't have the water with me I feel as though I can't breath correctly and have a hard time keeping my heart rate up while feeling comfortable. I can't even run outside without chugging tons of water before I go. then there is...
