I spoke to soon about being sore from the Tuesday night workout. Yesterday afternoon my ‘ass muscles’ started letting me know they were there. Then last night, my lats (back muscles below the arm pit) and the back of my thighs started chiming in as well. No pain no gain! I’ll wait until they settle down so I can get the full benefit of the muscle recovery before I do another, I’d figure maybe Saturday.
Woke up at 6:30 again (must be the end of a sleep cycle), and did 30 minutes of regular rowing, followed by breakfast. The last two nights I’ve gotten really tired at 11:30pm. I think I’ll try going to sleep then and see if I still wake up at 6:30, or if it changes to 6:00. Generally in the daytime though, I’ve felt very energetic, almost hyper at times. I’m sure that’s the boosted metabolism due to the morning rowing and properly timed meals/snacks. I also have to say that it is REALLY nice to get home from work and not have to row, so that is an added benefit of getting it over with in the morning.
Second day on the yogurt and Flax seed snack. Forgot my afternoon snack yesterday, I guess like the water, I’ll need to work on it at first to get used to it (BTW, I had a full gallon again yesterday. It’s getting easier!).
