Another day complete!
Yesterday was day 2 (These posts are all going to be about the previous day), and it went alright but a little different.
My eating was different today in the sense that it was all homecooked food. Day 1 was a weird day for eating.
Breakfast
1 cup of rice
1 egg
(I usually mix the two together to make a Japanese breakfast called Tamago Kake Gohan. It's a raw egg beaten and mixed into the rice)
Lunch
100 grams of steak (all the fat cut off)
Steamed veggies
1 cup of rice
In fact, I have a picture of my lunch.
All served on small, pretty dishes too.
Dinner
Same as day 1- 1 cup of rice and 1 cup of curry sauce I made, with some pickles on the side. (Leftovers, I made a batch of the stuff so I wouldn't have to cook so much every day)
Total calories eaten for day 2: 1430
Now, on to exercise, this is where it got a little different.
I had the infamous TAM flu- that feeling of all over soreness and tired. It did affect me a little bit.
1. I still walked, 40 minutes. However, I woke up later than I had planned because I was tired.
2. I got my DC in no problem. 30 minutes of step touching but with a jump when I could muster it.
3. MS- had to decrease my reps!
Yeah, I decreased them! I had to. Doing 5 reps felt like hell, but I managed ten. Ten good quality, good form reps, which is better than a bunch of reps done shoddily out of tiredness (and likely causing injury).
As someone mentioned to me in a comment, I am not going to aim for a set amount of reps and stop, but rather do as many as I can. I did that for day 1 (20 were HELL) and today (10 happened to be hell this time). I get that every day will be different. There may be days when I can crank out 20-30 reps on my leg moves, and days where I can barely eke out 5. It happens; the fact remains I pushed myself to my limit for the day.
Looking forward to making day 3 a good day too!
Have a great Wednesday!
