Workout: Cardio
Equipment Used: Schwinn AirDyne
Duration: ~8.9mi/~40min
Driver: Demolition Hammer: Timebomb
Calories: ???
Quality Level: N/A
Observations/Intel: DOMS struggle continued through this week. Definitely not getting enough calories as I suspect my body is using the higher protein, without enough compensating carbs or fat, evidently, as fuel rather than to support re-knitting muscle fibers. It has been really hot lately, though, so typical July and maybe August, not really too much appetite. I'm also more active than I have been (which will continue probably through the end of this year, at minimum), but not to what I think is an extent that would compromise recovery. Still, I am a huge proponent of listening to my body and it has been telling me, in a very clear signal, that it needs more time.
In that light, I've decided I'm just going to run slightly higher cadence workouts for a while, since my next few weekends are going to be very active (may only do weekday workouts). I am not planning on taking an entire week off, though, until maybe later on in the month, though that may change.
Last weigh-in was 252, so at least that is holding somewhat steady.
