Obviously quite a while since I posted. Not sure what the best way is to keep up a journal like this. I've seen so many that I like, but not sure how much time or energy I will want to commit to.
But I will admit this much - the last month has not been great eats-wise. I was using a new plan that dropped the carbs just a bit, and I couldn't stick to it. I kept finding reasons/excuses why I couldn't, and sometimes just plain didn't even try. I finally gave it up last week, and since then have found it difficult to return totally to the plan I was using before that did work for me. I'll start again tomorrow, and see how that goes. It doesn't matter in the big picture of my life as this is my project and I refuse to beat myself up about it. On the other hand, I notice how much better I felt - less tired, less agitated, less moody - while following a good nutrition plan. Not to say I was in tip-top shape as I for sure wasn't... but it was easier to care for myself. And THAT's my goal.

Fasting went surprisingly well today. I got quite hungry for a short time around 15.00, but chose to go to the gym to keep myself busy. Dinner took forever to eat since it was a lot of food, and I was at work where my job is to talk to people or to type stuff, both of which seriously interfere with eating. After I did eat, though, I got very tired.
When I got home from work, super-late at 00.45, I realized I'd only eaten about 1200 calories for the day, and wanted to up that to at least 1500. So I had meal 4.
Workout
Today I wanted to try my new split: Supersets of Legs/Abs, Chest/Back (compound), Chest/Back (isolation).

Planned:
Stability Ball Wall Squats 3 x 20 supersetted with Stability Ball Roll-outs + Butt-ups.
Couldn't do it, pain in right knee, and apparently, non-existent abs.Stability Ball Wall Squats 3 x 20 supersetted with Stability Ball Roll-outs + Butt-ups.
Actual:
Hamstring Curl Machine (legs together) 20 @ 35kg
Curl-ups 20
Butt-ups 20
Then the whole thing twice more through, except that for hammies I did the remaining two sets one leg at a time @ 15kg.
Then I realized I had to stop to get ready for work at 18.00. Sure didn't meet my big goals, but I'm still proud of myself as I really found all of those exercises demanding today. And I really want to do just a bit, not kill myself every workout and burn out again and again and again.
Other
Hamstring curls count as my physio exercises. I also did my Cesar oefeningen.
Mood
Pretty good. Quite tired. Had a nap earlier in the day, and took it easy in the afternoon. I plan to do the same tomorrow.

Not happy at all with my choices today. I started out taking my oatmeal and protein powder on the road as I woke up late. On the other hand, I don't know WHAT to eat that will make me feel full and is tasty anymore. I wanted to look at some choices and do some grocery shopping tonight, but instead J came home hungry and I didn't want him to be hungry while we waited for me to figure out what I would eat for the next few days, so we just went and got the burgers. I feel very disorganized.

Pretty good. Everything takes so long, which always surprises me. But, I did enjoy NOT feeling kapot from my workout. I wonder if that's been the problem all along - I push myself far too hard, and have to recover for a long time before I can work again. Maybe this cardio training period of working gently but consistently will help in other areas of my life as well.
I also had a melt-down around 20.30. J was watching another TV show I don't care about, and I was feeling irritated that I'm only home a few hours with him in the week - or so it seems - and he wants to watch a Top Gear re-run!!??!! And I was thinking about all the pressure I feel to clean all the things and care for all the people and to do everything RIGHT NOW and I just got so angry and frustrated and cried and yelled a bit. Then I did some of the chores I was worrying about, and watched an episode of a TV show I like. And then it was 2am. I don't think I have much to do, but maybe it's not that I'm so slow, or take so long, but that I just can't do as much as I think I can.
I'm not willing to be so busy that I can't enjoy my life. I think I will cancel my plans for the weekend and take it easy. I hate cancelling, but I hate feeling pressured, rushed, and stressed out more.

Super surprised at the volume of calories. Felt that I hadn't eaten much for most of the day.
Workout
None. But tracked my HR during my cycle to and from school. Apparently I burned 241 calories in 80 minutes of cycling.
Other
Cesar oefeningen skipped. Zero time during the day, and super-pooped when I finally got home.
Mood
Pretty good. Noticed I got pretty stressed about nothing - at one point my HR went up to 146, which is pretty high, while going up the stairs at work thinking about all the stuff I was trying to get done. Overtired and anxious at night - felt panicky about having to wake up in time for an 11.00 meeting tomorrow.
