Diet for two days

Yesterday, no training session: One slice of bread, 5 small chocolate eggs, 2 chicken fajitas with rice for lunch, one glass of water, one ice cream, one disgusting (said-to-be) watermelon juice, one portion of home made caesar sallad, one McFlurry, two slices of rhubarb pie.

Might be the worst day ever looking from a nutritional (and economical) perspective. However this does not belong to my usual eating habits and I did feel bad about that McFlurry in the evening (until I put the first spoon in my mouth, then I didn't regret anything). The sugar levels were extremely high and even though I consciously have been reducing my intake of fast carbs and thereby decreased my cravings for sugar, I have some days when resistance isn't on the map. Besides, I really have to drink more water, especially as the temperatures rise during the days.

Today, training session: One slice of bread, apple juice, two portions of spaghetti carbonara, one coffee, one big portion of pasta with tomato sauce, one big glass of water, appr. 0.5 litre of water during training, one ice cream, one slice of rhubarb pie.

The ridiculously high amount of pasta wasn't planned but happened to be since the food my family was eating for dinner wasn't going to be done before I had to go to my training session. Pasta is the solution to everything, that's my mantra. However, much better food today with exception for the post-work out things. I don't know if it was the pasta that made me able to train without feeling particularly tired but since I don't have a solution to it, we'll go with that.

11th of May

Two months to my 18th birthday today, hurray. As I wrote in the last post, I've started to participate in my floorball sessions and I must say that my knee has gone noticable better during the last couple of weeks. Most of the time I can bend it all the way in without a warm up and when I run in the movement pattern typical for floorball, it's seldom over stretched to such an extent that it really hurts. Yesterday's session was by far the best one this year (given the fact that I never did a real training session in 2011 before I tore the ligament) and even though my coach forbids me to play with body contact to others, I can't help doing it. The shots were however lousy yesterday, must have been something wrong with the stick/ball/floor. My stamina is indeed seriously improvable since I get exhausted after only one rush á 40 metres.

Based on this, my goals for the summer and silly season-rehabilitation training is mainly to do my physio therapy exercises in order to gain explosiveness and coordination in the muscles around the knee, as well as getting that long lost stamina back.

A month later

Here we go again, I kinda wanna be more than friends...

Just kidding, I'm not singing that song. Nope, not me. Not at all. Well well, a month ago since I wrote last time and honestly, I haven't been very active in my training. Probably because I finally have started to participate in my normal floorball-sessions and want the recovery time in between those in order to maintain the energy required in my thighs. Being back and training fairly normal is just as wonderful as I imagined, if not more. My coach always yells at me to take it slow and be careful when I play but hey, that's not very fun, thus I pretend I don't hear him. Also, I went to the physio therapist today and got some brand new things to do, more running:ish. Feels good to do something more specific than just weight lifting and pure muscle building.

This post is most likely the worst I've written so far but I promise I'll write more frequently and also take the nutrients-aspect into consideration. So long!
