Monday - first day of "training". went fairly well. Got to the gym in the morning and swam. I was feeling good and wanted to keep going but time was my enemy and I had to hurry to get to work on time. Lesson learned - get the to gym a bit earlier in the morning so I have the time I need. I swam 600 yards but would have loved to do at least 1000. I was able to keep my diet in check the first day as well. An apple, a powerbar, greek salad with cucumbers, onions, artichokes. Then chicken, rice and peas for dinner. Normally at dinner I would take seconds of my favorite few items but last night I resisted and only ate one serving which turned out to be enough food. I was not hungry nor was I feeling stuffed.
One of my kids has been up coughing a lot in the last two nights so my sleep has been broken up which means caffeine today. Not too big of a deal but I didn't make it to the gym this morning so I plan on doing some weights at home tonight.
Also, I don't have decent running shoes yet. It will most likely be about 2-3 weeks before I'll be able to run out and get some. So, in the meantime I am planning brisk walks, swimming at the gym, fixing my diet and doing some exercises at home.
Anyone know if powerbars are really all that great for you? I found them at the grocery store on sale for $1 a piece and bought a bunch.
