Didn't actually work out today. Had a few appointments that sucked up my day but I wanted to jot down some notes from the last couple of days or so.
First up, I haven't written about diet for a long time. I gave up trying to adhere to the kind of diet needed for proper weight loss. I'm even running a bit shy on protein these days. All in all, I'm just avoiding crap and making sure I eat enough to not feel pukey all the time. As far as that goes, my energy and abilities for exercise are a lot better now that I'm back to "normal" eating. So I'm making better progress on the exercise, "proper" diet is still shelved for the time being.
Kickboxing has been going well. I got my fourth stripe on my green belt yesterday, which means I'm set to graduate this month to the high green belt. In our club, high green is more or less the first serious belt. It's also the target point for a 2-year stint. At class yesterday, I was pre-tested for the new belt and I gave it my all the whole time. I was able to keep up a good show of strength for the whole time, which is a testament to what my personal trainer has been able to do to me. The testing is a brief, but very intense fit of activity. My core strength is pretty decent and it shows.
After kickboxing, I tried to get in a quick run to keep up the orthotics acclimatization but I think my feet were already beat from kickboxing. I got in about 4k with a couple of stops for throbbing feet. No arch pain though, so I'm hoping this is just part of the adjustment period.
