It could be because it was leg day, and I worked heavily on the leg press, but I had nothing left for cardio. I worked with my heaviest weight yet, 510 pounds. I pressed a total of 10 sets. I also did ten sets of standing toe raises. My max weight is 195 pounds. I did leg extensions maxing at 110 and leg curls maxing out at 95 pounds. My form was good for all my exercises. That’s why I used less weight on both the leg curls and leg extensions.
It was a good workout. I had plenty of energy. However, when it came time for cardio, I had nothing left. I started and lasted for about 3 minutes; then, I had to stop. I decided not to push through. I’ve been exhausted before and managed to push myself, but this made me feel like I might pass out.
I’m home now, and my legs are still shaking. I need to eat more carbohydrates, which could account for the lack of energy this week. I may need to eat more. For example, today, I only ate once. I’m not hungry, though I probably will be in a little while.
I will have baked chicken and some vegetables. All I have is white rice, which would keep me from getting hungry again for a while. I know. I should be eating brown rice. I won’t throw out the white rice. I will eat any food I have in the house. It cost too much to throw out.
One of my problems is that I need to sleep at night. Today, I finally fell asleep around 7:30 am and woke up around 1:00 pm. So eating starts late in the day for me. So, I’m confused about whether I should continue eating late into the night. As it is, I’m eating dinner at 9 or 10 at night.
Any suggestions out there?
