Did 20 minutes of HIIT cardio today, followed by some Pilates until I got interrupted with a call I'd been waiting for. Plan on legs and more HIIT tomorrow.
Ok, I had a hard time with the diet today. Tried to stick with 60 g of carbs, but at one point I felt so sluggish, weak and just couldn't concentrate. A challenge for me is working in an office on Tues. and Thurs. I don't have time to prepare food to take those days, but I researched all of the local chains' salads and found a few I can eat that match the macro mix. I had a chicken salad at 11:30 and another at 3:30 while at work, but still needed a few grams of fat and protein for the second one. There were leftover sandwiches in the break room and my intention was just to grab some cheese from the sandwich, but I ended up eating the whole damn thing. I immediately felt better and energized, but of course awful that I messed up the plan. I ate according to the plan the rest of the day though.
So tell me exactly what is normal during this prep...Are there days you feel you just want to lie down on the sidewalk with the homeless people? Or, if you're on your way back to the 12th floor to devour your dry chicken salad and someone stops the elevator at the 6th and another at the 8th, you want to poke their eyes out (and maybe eat them)? How do you deal?
I am motivated by the changes I'm seeing in my body already, but I think I just need to know this is normal and that I can get through it.
