I barely made it home last night at 2 am without wrecking into a guard rail on I-4 from exhaustion since I had started my day at 6:30 am. I could have gotten home a bit sooner, but it was hard to maintain a steady high speed on the highway when my eyes kept failing to stay open.
Making video games is definitely not all fun, games, LAN parties, and Red Bull.
I woke up late as a result (and still only got 5.5 hours of sleep) and could only get in half of my lifting before work. Fortunately, we are getting off “early” today at 7 pm, so I can finish my scheduled workout and cardio at the gym and even do my bonus YF workout.
Food is good so far through meals 1 and 2. Meals 3-4 are packed, and 5-6 will be taken at *home.*
Whee!
After reviewing my results from SGX and reading a workout nutrition article by Dr. John Berardi, I am switching meal order slightly on lifting days so I can have my fruit and protein powder blended into a workout shake as Meal 1 to help boost my energy and performance while lifting. While running a 700-900 calorie/day deficit, I need all the help I can get to keep my energy levels from bonking.
Oats, raisins, and omelette will be a PWO solid meal (#2).
Everything else stays the same for now.
