IRON.MEHTA · MISSION CONTROLWhen the data disagrees with the day
All my apps are telling me that I am overtraining.
Are all the numbers wrong? However, I am still not able to stop and I don't want to stop. Yesterday night we were out at a wedding and a friend's 50th birthday, attended two functions, and came back home late.
Today morning I got up reasonably late, and all day I was napping up until lunch. Had good lunch, nutritional lunch: white rice and brown rice and white chole. Just after lunch something kicked into me, and I thought I could not waste today, so I got onto the bike and did some microchondrial workouts on the bike for almost an hour.
Now that I've done one hour, my body is not lethargic anymore. I'm feeling so much better. I am so glad I did it, and just comparing myself to an hour before the bike, I did not even feel like getting off the bed and going to the kitchen to get some water. I'm glad I stood up for me and did my workout.
Also super grateful for my wife, that she's been cooking since morning, breakfast and lunch, even though she has been same tired as me.
This is how my body responds, from being able to do nothing in the morning and feeling lethargic and napping all afternoon. Once I was up on my bike, I could not stop. I initially planned for only 30 minutes, but then I kept going and rode my bike for over an hour.
Even after that, I wasn't fully done, so I walked down to the local pool and did my same drills. Started swimming with the kickboard, then the pool buoy, then single arm, then single side breathing. Then I kept going, finding more momentum in my double arm freestyle swimming and finding a rhythm in pulling back and becoming more comfortable in the water and breathing.
Once I was up on my bike, I could not stop.
