I thankfully hit my last low this a.m., and am back at 194.8. Part of the reason I'm thankful is because I can now start to add back in the post workout protein shakes. And, not a moment to soon. I only got 5 hours of sleep last night. I went to bed later and woke up right on the dot at 5:15 a.m. That's one of the hard parts about adding in the swimming. Swimming actually increases ones serotonin levels, which makes for a great mood, but can make sleep challenging.
I had a good breakfast, but felt wasted during my workout. My muscles were definitely sore. I did 20 minutes in the pool and hit 24 laps (that's about half a mile in 2 days). I decided to skip the 15 minutes of water aerobics. It's easy for me to slip back into "over-doing" it, but I'm working just as hard at NOT doing that as I am with sticking to my workouts. I drank my protein shake and took some motrin and half a lorazem, which will help with the soreness and help me rest.
I also have some more protein planned for this evening as my Mom will be grilling turkey sliders. I don't eat the buns, but I'll be having 2 of the sliders and even left some room for a dessert of yogurt and cantaloupe. There's some veggies in there too. I confess, I'm glad I can move up to the 1400 calorie range again. My body feels better at that range and tends to recover quickly post workout.
In the meantime, I'm just resting, relaxing, and enjoying the sunshine!
Have a wonderful Saturday everyone, don't forget to treat your body to a little R&R
