Week 3-Tired!

This week was a tiring week. I feel the wear of the long hours. I'm still having a blast though. My hamstring seems to be on the mend and I'm more careful with it. My nutrition is HORRIBLE! I crave food starting at 3pm. I just can't seem to get enough to satisfy me. I'm no fool. I know I need calories, but I'm eating handfuls of candy... bad choices and this is what I'm beating myself up over.

Like for instance, after the ride on Sunday, I ate my entree and a ton of chips. Did I really need that? No! And Friday night I craved Easter Candy... why did I need to eat half the bag?? Only to have my stomach supremely upset because of the chocolate and red wine combo.

Anyway, there is a huge opportunity to improve. Even a small change would make progress.

This week's accomplishments:
Mon: Swim (60 min)
Tues: Speed Clinic (70 Min) & Run (12 min)
Wed: Swim (60 min), Bike (50 Min)
Thur: Core (50 min) & Run (77 min)
Fri: Off
Sat: Run (80 min)
Sun: Bike (4 hours or 59 miles!) & Run (20 Min)

Nutrition Update: Like I said abobe, I've been eating a lot of sugar.... craving it like I did as a kid. Tues, I couldn't get enough of it and pretty much substituted candy for dinner. Bad!

Heartrate: I stayed in heartrate for the most part. I'm just tired from the number of hours and waking up early. I'm trying to make sure I get enough sleep and rest.

Unfortunately, I had a migraine this week. It wasn't a full fledge migraine, but it did affect my workout Thursday night. It came on around 5pm and then I went home and ran my "speed" workout of 8 miles. It was horrible, but I was so proud of myself for still being devoted. Only thing is I need to figure out why??
