Travel is a big food trap for me - I never seem to be able to find or choose the healthy options when I travel with work. And when we get the early flights we always have breakfast together - inevitably something like fry-up or a toasted sandwich with lots of cheese...This morning my boss was hung over so fry-up was on the menu - I had some scrambled egg and beans on toast. Not calculated the points for it yet but it wasn't a huge meal so think it should be ok. But then after the flight got cancelled and we had returned to the office someone served chocolate birthday cake and I ate a slice without blinking. Hm wonder what the points value for that would be? Think it was probably due to me being really sleepy at that point and craving a sugar kick. That or just not thinking! At least I'll save myself the mandatory post-meetings-beer at the airport tonight...
Went running last night instead of doing yoga (was late leaving work so was too late for the yoga class). Did a heart rate session which today has left me in agony. It included 400 m sprints at 90-95% of my max heart rate - hard work! I'm absolutely not a natural sprinter so it was not easy to do all the reps I was supposed to (not even that many - only 4!). The first one was fine, but in the others I lost power half way through, each time. But can really feel it all the way through my legs and also in my abs and sides, which is great! Normally don't get sore abs from plodding along at my normal jogging pace. After the sprints I was supposed to jog back for 10 min or so at 65-70% heartrate, but it just wouldnt go down! Even when I was just walking it stayed above 70%. I guess it must have strained the body quite a bit. Also I've not done a proper max heartrate test so the rates it's using might not be totally spot on.
Tonight I'm going to have an early night....aaaah sleep...!
