I celebrated with a red-eye flight, followed by two midterm exams and three days at the hospital being a student nurse. Today I decided to get back on a the exercise track after a few days of rest. Though "rest" may be the wrong word, as I was totally exhausted the whole time. Anyway . . .
Workout: ROW 5K
Time: 20:37
(Previous 5K time was 21:40, on the way to a 6K)
That's my new time to beat, though I'd really like to get under that twenty minute mark. I did this with no warm up, which was just lazy, and with my feet out of the straps. I'm saving the foot straps for when my technique is more consistent and I want to shave off some more time. Also, kept pace by trying to keep splits under 2:05 and strokes under 25/min. For the first half I did that easily, the second half I often hovered just over the 2:05 mark. Rowing 5 under-2:00 splits will be tough.
Food:
I am committed to cleaning up my diet. The past couple of days I started with sugar (getting rid of it, that is, though I ate some sugary fruit today). Here's a brief rundown of food yesterday and today. I've been mulling over the PaNu blog and some thoughts -- mostly in defense of vegetables -- are forthcoming. Stay tuned.
-Yesterday breakfast: 2.5 scrambled eggs, 3 slices bacon, coffee with cream
-No snack because I was observing GI special procedures at the hospital. Watching colonoscopy after colonoscopy is a good way to lose one's appetite.
-Lunch: 4 or 5 oz turkey, handful of cashews, coffee with cream
-Snack: 0.75 oz cheddar cheese, some almonds, tea with cream
-Dinner: chicken and vegetables cooked in olive/sesame oil
-Today breakfast: oatmeal with whole milk, pecans, cinnamon
-Snack: date/peanut bar, coffee with cream
-Lunch: leftover chicken and vegetables, almonds
-More snack: apple with peanut butter, coffee with cream, almonds, cheddar cheese
-Dinner: buffalo burger + mushroom, onion sauteed in olive oil, slice of cheese, with salad (just lettuce and tomato, sesame dressing), glass of red wine
