Success week!

Remember the challenge I set myself out for last week?

... the new workout routine!

Surprisingly, I followed it to a t so far. All that's left is a 30-40 minutes run tomorrow morning. I did feel great this week after all the exercise, and energized as well but I did encounter one problem...

The back of my knee as well as my hamstrings are extremely sore, I do not even know how I will manage to run tomorrow. And so what I'm saying is I maybe am not giving my body enough time to recover... I mean one rest day and training legs all other days is quite strenuous, no? That said, I will modify this routine; not only will I change it to two rest days, but I will also change the type of workout and its frequency.

Another challenge I'm setting myself out for –yes I will also update you on that one by the end of next week– is increasing my food intake, especially my PROTEIN intake!

This will be hard, as I am a lazy person when it comes to food prep/cooking and I absolutely love my carbs : unfortunately my carb-y foods are very low in protein, so I will need to change my entire diet. The reasons why I'd like to do this are:

I don't eat enough >>>> blame laziness and time restraints
My diet mainly consists of fruits, rice, oats : aren't quite rich sources of protein
Protein and increased food intake in general is important for muscle building and recovery

Anyways wish me look on this journey of mine that will hopefully work out and last longer than a week...
