7-20-15 HY: PiYo-Sweat + Splits + TCF.

Very calm day today... in the morning.  It is a national holiday today and my son's birthday. So we planned to do what he wanted to do, which is eat out, then play tennis.  We had a court reservation but unfortunately the weather did not cooperate.  So we went to plan B.  We still ate out, but instead of playing tennis, we went to see a movie.  Turned into a boys night out since the movie he wanted to see was something our ladies weren't interested in.  We went to a buffet style restaurant. One that I have always loved.  One thing I really noticed is that my stomach must have gotten smaller, because I am not eating nowhere near what I used to eat. Before, I would go back 5-6 times and fill my large plate with food.  This time, my largest plate of food was a salad with a bunch of steamed vege-sides.  I had only two half-sized plates of other stuff. A little dessert, half a cup of a Slushee.  And with that, I was filled.  I was feeling good, until I drank some barley tea at the end of the meal and the food must have expanded because I felt so stuffed.  But I'm glad I didn't/don't eat as much as I used to.  Yes, I had a medium bowl of popcorn to share with my son during the movie.  All in all, it was a good day!  Oh yeah, my workout.

I did my workout in the morning.  My daughter had soccer practice until noon so the morning was open for me to do my workout.  So, I had a shake and got to it.  I was/am still quite sore from yesterdays 4-routine day so I only did one main routine today.  But it was perfect to battle the tightness and soreness. It really stretched me out and energized me.  I made my legs feel the pump.  But compared to the last time I did this routine (2 weeks ago), I got almost all the way through it without a major breather.   My only break was after the second round of burpees.  I was just heaving and doubling over.  And that just totally fried my legs, thighs to be specific.  I eked out a few small squats with Chalene until I got the feeling back in them and was able to go down further.  Got an awesome sweat on.  There were drops all over my monitor, printer, walls, etc. Got some really wide sprinkler action today.

The splits were good, and I was able to hit my mark early on so I pushed lower today.  I'm starting to try and let my weight push me further down.  I have to be careful with the straddle splits, but my hip flexor is still to tight to all my weight to push me down. I need to bounce down and muscle it down.  No sinking down yet on the side splits.  The Flow was good, but slow due to the pain in my legs still.

In the end, I torched a good 600kcals.  Good burn today, but I'll need to do some extra routines to compensate for today's small eating binge.  No more eating like that until I get back state-side... in about 6 weeks.  Time to prepare some countermeasures for that trip.
