Monday always starts with such promise, and then usually the wheels start falling off by about lunch time. Historically Monday was usually my rest day from the gym and from any semblance of a healthy diet. Today wasn't so bad. I deferred my Strength Sunday session until today and got to the gym at around midday - this is the ideal time for me as it allows me to train fasted and then have my first meal immediately after my workout. THe workout was good, not great, but at least I got there. I added 5kg to my current deadlift maximum, but felt an uneasy ache in my knee. I don't really care too much about lifting a lot of weight anymore (I'll leave that to the bros in their 20s), I'm all about staying injury free now. Weight training should be helping prevent injuries, not causing them - mental note to not try to push for record lifts, just nice smooth technique. Work is a bit crazy at the moment which is causing me to rush and stress a bit. Lunch was crammed into about 20 minutes; Rice, left over beef/pork patties and salad + greens. I was so rushed I didn't have my post workout shake today. I think this cost me a few hours later as I found myself super hungry. I haven't noticed any massive hunger periods while eating clean and this came as a bit of a surprise. I can only assume my body was crying out for the additional 50g of protien I didn't get from my usual shake. I probably overate leading up to dinner; I finished off 3 or 4 leftover patties and then had my shake because I was still hungry, and then chicken + salad + corn for dinner. I was pretty stuffed after dinner and hating myself for overeating. But I guess if I look at the "overeating" bit, I really just had a few high protien meat patties after a high intensity weights workout, at worst I was at maintenance calories for the day. I waddled my out for a walk after dinner. I'd accumulated just under 10k steps by this point anyway with my morning walk + laps at the gym between sets. The additional walk got me up to just over 14k for the day. I put on my new boxing boots tonight and practiced jabs in the mirror. This is useful as it allows me to see what I was doing wrong - my jab usually returned to just below my shoulder. This is bad and I'll correct this. I was also able to really focus on the mechanics vs the power. It starts at the hip, then flicks shoulder out. I can see a speed improvement already. I'm all about loose, fast, strikes now. I WILL get better. Sleep came very easily at 10:30 ish. Tuesday will be better.
