Not a bad start to the day... ate breakfast at 7.30ish, although only had a protein shake, which isn't ideal. Went for my walk at about 9.30 and was back by 10:40 when I had my "snack" which was more of a breakfast (omelette with tabouli). Hot and sweaty again but not as bad as yesterday as it was a bit cooler (being earlier) when I walked. It's still shaping up to be another hot day though! I'm also trying to count the glasses of water I drink, because otherwise I forget where I'm up to!
Overall, I'm feeling pretty good today, not as tired as I was yesterday after walking, but I still need a 15 minute lie down, just to cool off! I have a ton of work to do, so can't afford to have looong afternoon naps! I need to get my study sorted out (still isn't after I moved) so that I can work somewhere more effectively than at the kitchen table (which also helps when kids are home! It's very difficult to get challenging work done with the noise and interruptions of kids in the same room). I have 10,000 words of a book to finish this week, and a few articles to write, so I'll be busy busy busy with that as well!
Oooh and I just fixed the time on the blog cause it was 18 hours out!
Hmm well I am just TIRED... maybe I should be walking a shorter distance for a little while, at least until I'm fitter... and/or the weather is cooler!
Well final update...overall today I felt fairly crappy. Not only was I exceptionally tired from what was only a 70 min walk, but I later got a headache which wouldn't go away, even with strong painkillers. I now feel sort f better... but I still want an early night. I think tomorrow I'll restrict my walk, or go for a short ride to ensure my bike's okay for Thursday's ride. I just won't kill myself doing it!! I'm back on the EPOC exercises tomorrow, so need energy for that, and I'm still behind in work etc. due to my tiredness. Am hoping that after the third day I'll be in better shape physically and mentally (I've read of a few people who felt cranky, irritable and not so great for the first three days). I also need to do a bit of housework/sorting tomorrow and it's hard to do that when I'm feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
Not sure how I will fit in the last snack of today... Not sure it really matters if I'm not up long enough to have it??!! Well I could have something really small at say 10.00...just a mouthful of cottage cheese or something... I really need a few more easy snack ideas! I'll be shopping again before the end of the week at this rate!
