On the go...

The last 2 days have been ON THE GO!!! Yesterday I was planning on sleeping in a bit (since I had the chance) but instead was woken by none other than Walter, Marcus' saint bernard dog (picture to right). He is the cutest thing in the world, but his bark is SO loud.

It wasn't a bad thing though. I got up and got on with my productive day a bit earlier than expected.

Comments:

Overall the last 2 days have been great for workouts, but my nutrition hasn't been exactly up to par. It's not been horrible. But I haven't been eating enough in the mornings. My workouts are in the mornings, so I should have quite a bit of calories post-workout to refuel and because post workout is when our bodies are most efficient at burning calories (therefore, we don't story food as fat).

I have been going non-stop both days and haven't planned properly for food. I haven't had stuff easily accessible to just grab. That's a BIG MISTAKE!!! So...lesson learned hopefully!
