*yawn* I'm fading fast tonight, so this entry will be a brief one.
Today went well, all things considered. I managed to eat 5 small meals, each one roughly 300 calories. I'm not wild about the protein shake recipes I used today, but I've got a few ideas for improvements starting tomorrow. Worst case scenario, I can deal with a little pea grit. Did I mention my protein-increasing plan involves protein shakes made from pea powder? Yellow split peas, to be precise. True story.
I tried a new workout today, too. I turned my normal heavy bag routine into a circuit training workout by adding weight lifting sets in between boxing rounds. It was pretty intense, but the time went by super fast. I'm prepared to experience some muscle soreness tomorrow and will NOT let it put me off my run. :)
Eating this way, especially with such frequency, takes time and preparation that will require some getting used to, not to mention all the protein and fiber I'm now taking in.
Also, not checking the scale every morning is ALREADY a challenge! My hope is that after a few days of not weighing in, I will get used to the new routine and stop worrying about the number so much. Hope.
Well, it's off to bed with me: sleep is knocking at my eyelids.
