Last night preparing for today, and early today as well, was all about getting it done. I have no time and my inability to prep like I planned is costing me. For instance, if you look at breakfast, I put all that stuff in the blender and prayed because I knew there'd be no time to try and cram that down my throat if it weren't in puree form. My cottage cheese snack wasn't blended but was thrown together with equal haste. And ya know what? It all tasted good enough. The breakfast puree actually worked well enough and I was impressed. I guess I'm in this for real, yes, but I'm hoping for a better tomorrow.
I also had to use too much fruit. This weekend I pray I can make a leisurely preparation and enjoy setting myself up for the week. I find this stuff to be fun when I don't have to cram 45 minutes of prep into half that time at 10:30 p.m. just so I don't go too crazy the next day.
Today's WOD didn't seem so bad but I feel wrecked nonetheless. I worked hard. I think I set realistic benchmarks and wasn't dogging it, and I see growth in the future. I did regular-ish burpees today instead of the easier ones because I could, and because I expect to grow enough to where I'll see that kind of result in eight weeks. If I put in the work, the result will come, and I want victory when we test again!
And so I press on.
For my readers: You might notice my water consumption is listed as a total. That's because I drink way too much to mark it down all the time. I have a great mental system that helps me keep track, and I'd hate to depart from what works! I tend to drink at least eight quarts a day, more on workout days, with a good 2-3 quarts before 10 a.m. to get me started. I drink it from the moment I get out of bed to later in the evening, but I try to stop within a few hours before bed because I don't want to pee all night. I generally know how much I've had at a given time, up to later in the day, when I know an extra quart or two will do me right. It's taken a while to cultivate that.
