Food

Its hard to eat enough. Thats the truth, I dont like food THAT much. But it helps to just have it ready to eat because if its not right within my grasp then chances are I'll put off eating or just forget to.

Now more than ever I'm consciously keeping count of my calories to make sure Im at least getting 3000 a day. Now fitting this in with my emphasis on running is hard, because I rise early but I prefer to run at about noon. I love running when its hot and having the sun beam down. But eat the wrong thing at the wrong time and the whole thing goes to hell.



Spent two hours cooking 5 meals. This contains rice, potato, tuna/blackbean burger with pepperjack and sweet and sour sauce on top, noodles with curry sauce, and grilled salmon. Im approximating that each one of these is about 800 to 1000 calories but it might be wishful thinking. Total cost was about 16 bucks, thankfully carbs are inexpensive.

PST Goals

10:30 500 Meter Swim (Im not going to get much better than that without a teacher)
15-20 Pull up
90-100 Pushup
90-100 Situp
9:00-9:30 1.5 Mile

The problem is that I fluctuate so much. I havent been able to depend on any abilities. For example, about a month ago I swam twice as far underwater than ever before, out of no where, and now today I couldnt even make it one length. Some days I dominate my PT's, but then I'll have a day like today where Im fully rested but my numbers are all way down.

Still struggling a ton with my swimming. Part of me says give up on the CSS and just go for breast stroke, but I really want to have the CSS down before going in. I'd rather be struggling with it on my own time than to struggle with it on the Navy's time.

No video's!

Not until I fix the very silly mistakes I make! The video's did reassure me that Im not as far off as I thought, in fact the things Im doing wrong are simple to fix (I am assuming).

Working on my running...after reading Total Immersion I picked up ChiRunning because the author had recommended it. Going for my first run after reading it today, we'll see if it helps.
