Survived the First Day!

I survived the 1st day of my new training plan and diet. I have to continuously remind myself that this no starches nonsense will only last one week!! That's it! Tell that to my rumbling stomach! Of course, that's what happens, too, when you are used to eating basically everything you want when you want. Your stomach expands, which leaves only more room to fill! I did enjoy my post-workout gummy bears, though! I savored each one.

The workouts for the first couple weeks are set up as push/pull. Today was push. And boy, did I push! I've lost a lot of strength over the last year. I used to be able to squat my own weight. Not anymore. I didn't even bother trying to rack on all that weight because I already knew it wasn't going to happen. I also have to remind myself that it took me a year of slacking to get me to where I am today, so I can't expect miracles. At least not right away. My legs are already feeling shaky. We'll see if I can walk tomorrow.

Energy and mood were about the same today. No miracles, at least not today.
