I'm closing in on half way through this sprint. Its a difficult week to get through for me. I feel like my boxing sucks, I feel like I'm not losing any weight. I'm feeling a touch depressed today and can't really put my finger on why. Thinking about it, I've stopped / changed up my morning routine this year. Last year I was starting each day by making a gratitude list and chatting a bit to AI about it. I need to priortize this as I really think it helps me to put things in perspetive and keeps me in a more positive frame of mind. Note for tomorrow! I hit the weights today in between meetings. I quick 3 rounds on the bad working my jab followed by a push workout of 6 exercises, 3 sets of each. I focus on high reps today and aim for 15 - 20 in each set. DB press, DB fly machine, DB pullover, Shoulder press machine, tricep pushdown + tricep extension (rope) as a superset. The shoulder press thrown in with chest adds an extra challenge to the push day. I threw down a shake and a quick meal of tuna, rice and a few veges before heading back to work. For dinner, I cooked up steaks and slaw. I got garlic bread for the kids and cooked up a few mushrooms. I went wrong with a couple of things 1) I bought an instant gravey which I poured over my sweet potatoe fries and 2) I put some flour and butter in with my mushrooms to make a bit of a sauce. Everything tasted very nice. About 45 minutes after dinner, I'm falling asleep in front of TV. I haven't crashed out after a meal at all during this sprint. I also developed a bit of a stomach ache. Either its the gravy, or probably more likely the flour. I guess my body isn't used to that kind of food anymore. I dragged myself up for a walk and clocked up 15k steps for the day. I'm going to go to bed early tonight and see if i wake up feeling any better tomorrow.
