8:15 pm: orangeThe past couple days I've noticed my appetite is small. In the morning I am not hungry for breakfast and at dinner I feel full quickly. At the same time, during my past two workouts I've been feeling a little bit weak, like I haven't eaten enough. I find this very strange as I'm filling my body with great healthy food and it's filling me up but not providing adequate fuel. It seems like my portions are reasonable (not too small). I'll be curious to see if this feeling continues.
I have another goal I've decided to work toward by the end of the month. I noticed on our Crossfit board today that the top three continuous pull-up numbers for women are 26, 17 and 15. My goal by the end of the month is to knock #2 and #3 off the board and get at least 18 pull-ups. I am going to see what my record is on Friday (after a day of rest) so I know if and by how much I have improved by the end of the month.
I have been lagging in the workouts too. The energy level and recovery were very poor yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI am going to try to add some naturay whey protein to the mix pre workout and see if that makes a difference.
Mackenize,
ReplyDeleteExperiment with more carbohydrates in the diet. Like yams and sweet potatoes post workout with some protein (try to do this as soon as you can, within 30 minutes would be ideal). This will not only top off your muscle glycogen levels but the protein will help repair the muscle that you have broken down to help you knock out those 18 pull-ups! Keep it up...
