AlleyKat Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Rec. swim with family. We had plenty (7-8, back and forth) of races the short way across an Olympic sized pool.I'm not counting it as part of my challenge, but it's exercise nonetheless.

AlleyKat Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I thought today would be terrible...I was putting off my workout and still hadn't ate anything (last week in Summer A classes...lots to do, not so much time) and finally decided to grow a pair and get it over with around 1:30ish.

AlleyKat Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Paleo yesterday, but not enough kcals. I was busy, not hungry (never am, now), and needed to go to the grocery store. I tried to make these baked bacon egg things and having never baked eggs before, sent them straight to EggHell in the oven. So, yesterday was roughly 500-600 kcals, and that's estimating high. Bad planning. Hope it doesn't mess with today's workout. I'm not going to let it mess with today's workout. But, I will wait until early afternoon to get it in.

I underplan or forget a snack or two and before I know it I'm going to sleep and I've had less than 600 cals. I've been gauging myself (or trying to) throughout the day, having bananas and peanut butter on hand does a pretty good job at upping the cals for not a lot of eating, quick fix, but needed once in a while! 1 Quote Spaz Ranger BATTLE LOG You can have results or excuses.

AlleyKat Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 It was a weird day yesterday. I literally had nothing I could eat in the house that was Paleo friendly. I should have picked up bananas....mmmmmm, so yummy. Peanut butter is out for me, but sometimes I mush up bananas with coconut milk and cinnamon and cook it into an oatmeal-like substance. If there's any left over, they get made into popsicles. I got my workout in, though to be honest I wasn't 100% into it today - it's one of those days it was a huge achievement just to get it done. I did up some numbers still. I got to see my hubby (he works 2 jobs) and that was super nice. I'm trying to talk him into the next 6 week challenge.

AlleyKat Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Oh, I also seem to have improved biomarkers. The BP I've had on the low end previously just dieting, but that was years ago. I've never seen my HR drop, but I've never done anaerobic exercise regularly. I am also hypoglycemic and get very dizzy and I haven't had any signs of that in the last week or so (which I'm sure my family appreciates...sugar drops = raging maniac). Previous BP - normal range 110-117/75-80Now (x3 checks on different days) 90-95/58-62 Previous resting pulse - I've never seen it under 75, normally it's higher than thatNow (x3 checks on different days) - it's continuously 64 Quote AlleyKat - Level 2 - Astro MycologistSTR - 5, DEX - 2, STA - 4, CON - 2, WIS - 5, CHA - 2 The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together.-Carl Sagan Link to comment

AlleyKat Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Paleo the last two days, NCLEX as well. I met all my goals for week 2. I was pretty ill this morning (maybe the carrots yesterday were a little dodgy???), but fine now. I'm going to divert to plan two and take my son to the pool as a workout today instead of the regular bodyweight routine. We may go this week and next for the 3x a week exercises, then back to the grind with weeks 5 and 6. I'd like to see swimming improvement. I'm glad I incidentally built swimming as a fall back into my 6 week plan. Next time I'll know to do something like that on purpose.

AlleyKat Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 So....the rain gods are playing with me today. We walk outside, it starts to rain - go back in and the rain stops. Great. Anyhoo, I did my normal workout. Felt pretty crappy, but I know if I put things back a day, it will just be easier to make more excuses tomorrow. Can't stop me, rain gods or stomach!
