This morning I had 2 egg whites and one whole egg scrambled, oatmeal, and a half a banana (the other half was bruised). I think I still need more protein because this is my pre-workout meal. I am going to add one more egg white. My post workout "meal" was a vanilla protein shake made with milk. I need my calcium, so I used milk. It was yummy...it tasted like cake batter!
For my morning workout I lifted legs. I can feel myself getting stronger as I go through the moves. My back really hurts when I do squats, so I don't think I am going low enough to engage my glutes. I am seeing definition in my legs now, but my butt is still squishy and saggy. Good news was seeing my quad definition through my baggy Taekwondo pants. I haven't seen that in a really long time.
I worked on forms after doing legs. I am not sure which form I should compete, so I just worked on technique on the forms that I already know. I am thinking about learning a Karate form just for the US Open. I hear that karate forms do better in scoring than Taekwondo forms. If I do a Taekwondo form, it will be my favorite: Dahlee Hyung Sa Chung.
For cardio this morning I swam laps. I felt really strong. I don't know if its the muscle I am building, the breakfast I ate, or a mixture of both. I wasn't fast compared to some other swimmers, but I just felt like I was moving through the water so much better.
Tonight I went to Taekwondo class at Fast Kicks and we worked on forms and did Hogu drills. I loved it, but I felt really clumsy and slow on the Hogu drills. I haven't really trained for sparing in 2 years. I am really nervous about my ability to be ready to fight by July 2. I guess I have to start somewhere.
Well, on to tomorrow...more cake batter!
