6-08-17 (Thursday) HY: PiYO - Sweat + TCF.

Today was kind of an odd day in that I had somewhat of a business trip or a business engagement.  I had to go and observe one of my students teach an English Class at a local elementary school.  Then, after the lesson, give feedback for and an evaluation of the lesson.  That pretty much took the whole morning and I didn't eat lunch until about 2:30 pm.  Then I had some errands to run for work and I got home at the usual time.  But since I was in the city, I ate lunch with my wife.  We were planning to go for a nice "Protein-Rich" meal, but then my wife remembered that one of our favorite Italian restaurants has a special price for women on Thursday, so our plan suddenly changed and we went to the Italian place.  It was a buffet-style restaurant and the food is delicious.  I didn't eat as much as I used to, but I still ate too much.  I thought I had it under control, I felt fine.  I had already decided to finish and was just drinking some water when suddenly my stomach felt like it popped a button and I felt like I was about to burst.  I couldn't move for a few moments.  But finally, when I was able to move, we left.  I had what felt like a localized cramp in my stomach for about 90 minutes after we left.  And I couldn't do anything but sit when I got home.  I planned to go to my tennis club in the evening, but that was out the window.  I finally started feeling better around 8 pm.  But still felt bloated.  But the good thing is that I didn't feel heavy.  I just ate a lot of the vegetable dishes, or should I say too much.  I did have their pizza and pasta, but mostly salad and for some reason a lot of broccoli.  I did have a few tiny doughnut holes and some soft-serve ice cream for dessert.  And the sweetest most delicious fresh pineapple EVER!!!  Not a lot of oil or fat.  Even the pizzas didn't have that much cheese on it.  And if you know Japanese style pizza, you know how small they are.  I didn't eat the crust and the base crust is almost paper thin, so I really didn't have a lot of carbs either.  Oh well.  We ended up having a really good time.  We walked around the city running some errands so that helped a little.

As I said, I felt better around 8 pm so I decided that I have to do something, but I knew I wasn't able to handle even just 25 minutes of T25, so I decided to go with PiYO.  The first two sections were fine, I was able to keep up with everything Chalene instructed, and I wasn't feeling sick or anything like that.  But once we got to the Power section,  OH MY GOODNESS!!! My legs were feeling it.  And there was some good cardio there as well with those Burpees.  I was happy that I felt really strong on all the Push-Ups, but that very last set in the Stretch and Strength section pretty much brought me to failure.  It was a great workout.  Then, the Flow was on point.  But I'm losing a little balance with regard to time.  The Right-Start Flow is naturally a little faster than my Left-Start Flow.  I'll need to work on evening that out and controlling my movements better.

In the end, I burned a light 468kcals.  Nowhere near the Grand+ I was expecting had I gone to play tennis, but I still feel I made the better decision.  I think next week will be back to normal. (KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK)
