Bike

1h 35m 12s
16.30 miles
10.27 Mi/hr

New plan says I should do a strength workout two days a week. I was supposed to do that tonight but just completely forgot until it was time for bed. I feel like I keep letting myself down. Even though I'm sticking to the nutrition 100%.

When I share this experience with others, they keep encouraging me to use seasonings and things to make the mini-meals more exciting, since it's the same thing every day and it's pretty bland. When they say that, I'm not even interested. I feel like I'm being punished for something and I don't deserve for the food to taste good. I keep saying "I'm allowed to have..." and using language like that. It's very disempowering and I know it. I'm feeling like a victim of this nutrition plan.

Run

1h 07m 21s
7.01 miles
09m 37s /Mi

Hill repeats today to get ready for hilly trail running in April. 6 times up and down a two-minute long hill.

Second day of eating on the new plan.
I definitely don't feel satisfied after I'm finishing each small meal, but I think it's mostly psychological. I'm looking forward to the next meal all the time and seeing what time it will be when I can eat again.

Felt good on my run. Good energy.

Swim

59m 01s
2350.00 yards
02m 31s /100 yards

Today was very challenging. First full day on new nutrition plan that I am paying for and choosing. I'm choosing it to elevate my athletic performance and body composition, but when I sit in front of a plate of a small amount of ground beef and a cup of broccoli, I feel like I'm being punished. I have to keep putting myself back in a place of power and choosing.

I'm not physically starving.
Psychologically it's hard not to munch on a snack when I want to.
