Day 53/54/55
FriMy oztag team won our semi-finals game last night (yay!) - however we didn't have to earn it. The other team was disqualified for including an unregistered player. Tbh it was bad on their part and a win is a win... I really need to get my butt to training!! I want to win finals!! The furthest i've ever been was second place LOL.
I'm feeling really motivated to train for this game! I made it to the gym with the intention of playing with some weights but my muscles, particularly my hamstrings, were feeling sore. To avoid injury or a crazy amount of soreness, I only did a few movements (deadlifts, push jerks and front squats) and spent some quality time on the treadmill.
I watched Earthlings for about 20 minutes, then my heart couldn't take anymore. I wanted to be educated more in animal compassion but I just couldn't bring myself to watch the whole 70 minute video... I already don't eat animals so I figured that this video was just to strengthen the cause.
I walked 2.83km for 30 minutes on the treadmill and stopped when I was starting to feel hungry. It was 1pm by now. When I got home I REALLY wanted to eat something and almost snacked on my sister's 100%-bad-for-you brownies. But I resisted and turned to my trusty food processor and whipped myself some banana ice-cream. Note to self: 1) Don't blend yourself more than 6 bananas for nicecream because you will not finish it and 2) pre-blend the spinach!
I also attended my first arvo/night class! The atmosphere was definitely different (it was more intimidating but also motivating).
Workout
6 sets every 90 seconds
Snatch balance + overhead squat
2x1 15kg
2x1 17.5kg
2x1 20kg
3x4-minute rounds with a 1-minute rest between every set
5 overhead squats (2 rounds 17.5kg, 4 rounds 15kg)
10 box jumps
20 explosive jumps
I made it to 6 round and 2 OHS by the end of it!
Working out twice and going through one lecture + a lot of internet surfing (i.e. procrastination), I barely felt hungry. Actually I only felt hungry right before lunch. I ate dinner only because I didn't want to wait until I felt hungry later in the night. Hmm, keeping busy feels great!
Sat
No workouts lead to a high consumption in food. I definitely need to start making going to the gym a Weekend habit.
Sun
The strangest thing is that I always find the weekends to be the saddest. I feel like I always cry so much that I feel so dehydrated for the rest of the week until maybe Friday where I've had enough water re-absorption that I feel okay again then the cycle happens again.
This cycle of emotions make me feel as if i'm bipolar, which is an actual serious mental health issue that I am not diagnosed with but it's the easiest way to describe this situation.
Just feeling in a current state of isolation where there's no one to talk to. I have friends whom i'm not close enough with to share my actual problems nor do I really want to. The majority of people see me as that girl who loves life, works out, eats healthy and is always happy.
I guess I could be that girl.
