Extreme make-under

Sunday I woke up at 11 AM and as a result didn't have breakfast. I had a carne asada burrito for lunch, then later that afternoon I could hardly eat and felt barely any hunger. Later that night I tried to eat as much as I could but even after devouring a Panera creamy chicken bread-bowl soup, an apple and a whole-wheat bagel with cream cheese (albeit reduced-fat), I was still nearly 1,200 calories under budget. I felt OK that night salsa dancing at Allegro.

Then Monday afternoon comes around and things start crashing. It was a hot day and running my 40 minutes was a chore. I was already out of energy about 25 minutes in and just struggled to get my entire run in, then that night I had to drive all the way down to Gilroy to teach my weekly salsa class. I did my best to teach the class but when I got home I was feeling pretty grumpy.

I spent the last two days catching up on my food intake, and now I'm only short by 300 calories - where I was when I ate only half that chocolate cake. I'm now at 192 pounds, 4 pounds ahead of pace. Tonight we start our other salsa class at Decathlon Club in Santa Clara. Jaime at D.C. was kind enough to let me use the treadmill before class so I could get my Wednesday run in. Today I need to run 50 minutes and I'll probably be downing all the Accelerade I can.

With my Wednesday class coming online, I am now either teaching or attending a class on each of my training weekdays. How did that happen?!
