Okay, I know, I'm wayyyyy over using the journal today, but I have a lot of thoughts on this whole work out/weight loss thing today.
I am totally drained today. I mean drained to the point that I literally could NOT stay awake. I got the kids in bed and took a cat nap with the oldest in his race car bed. He "read" a book to me and we snuggled up togethere. He's got a bit of a cold so luckily for me he hasn't been begging to run around outside or go for a walk.
I'm blaming my lack on energy on several things:
1) I exercised WAY more than usual today and yesterday. I really pushed myself to work hard. I didn't push myself beyond my limits, but I did push my self as close to the limit as I could. It felt good and I really enjoyed it, and though I was a bit sore from dance class, I felt full of energy all day, so I kept trying to do more. I didn't get quite as much sleep as I should have, so with all the extra activity and not enough sleep, I'm tired.
2) Maybe after all that exercise and strength training, my body is using a lot of energy to repair my muscles? I have no idea if this is a logical theory, but it seems like it could at least be a contributing factor.
3) I also think that cookie dough I had earlier might have something to do with it. I've had sweet treats on my diet, but most of them are 100 calorie packs or Smart Ones desserts which I don't think have as much sugar as that cookie dough did. I think that small snack with so much sugar spiked my blood sugar and then I crashed.
I may be a tad dehydrated, but I don't think that's a major contributing factor.
So, since I have to keep walking my clients dog at least twice a day, 7 days a week, but usually 3 times a day, I think I will stop trying to push myself every time I walk, and I won't do as I had planned before and do 5K training or strenuous walks in the morning before I go to walk him. I think I will limit that to 2-3 days a week for now, just until I've improved my stamina. I will also pay attention to the very sugary snacks I have and see if I have the same sort of crash after.
