This week was weird. I spent the entire time worrying I was getting sick, due to a lack of energy as well as a higher-than-usual temperature. I survived without succumbing, thankfully. More nutritious food choices probably would have helped though.
Sunday
I was supposed to play a double-header in softball today, but it ended up being just 1 game played in constant rain and a completely muddy and slick field. If it had been a few degrees warmer, it would have been really fun.
Lunch was fairly healthy, but dinner was Taco Bell. I’m still very much off-the-rails on my food consumption.
Monday (147.8 pounds)
Decided to take some extra time and make a good breakfast this morning. An egg with 2 slices of bacon, high fiber toast, a banana, and juice. I’ve read that egg is a very filling option for breakfast, and I would like to be a bit less hungry at lunch time than I have been recently.
Tuesday
- Exercise bike: 34 minutes
I should have done something more considerable, but there’s a lot of illness going around and I was feeling woozy, so I decided to go a little easy on myself.
Wednesday
- Walk: 30 minutes
My usual day to day temperature is 97.4 degrees. This evening, I was up to 98.2. I’m quite concerned I have illness coming on, so I stuck with a light workout again.
Thursday (i)
- Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD workout 1: ~27 minutes
- Additional cardio: ~3 minutes
I phoned this in a little by using 3 pound weights rather than 5s. However, I did concentrate more on form and getting every movement correct, so that counts for something as well. With my “trying not to get sick” malaise going on, 5 pounds would have been a bit too much, even though 3 was a smidge light. Hopefully this will pass soon, although I got up to a whopping 98.4 today, the highest temperature I’ve seen in years.
Saturday (i)
- Tennis: 1 hour
- Walk: 2 miles, 32 minutes
The walk counts as Friday’s workout. Unfortunately, I was away from home from 7 a.m. until after 11 p.m. so I truly didn’t have time to get in the workout that day. Normally I plan ahead much better than this, but my drive home took an extra 40 minutes, plus I didn’t expect the event I was attending to last nearly 5.5 hours either. It really does remind me why I shouldn’t take my day off from working out so early in the week.
