Legs and Back and Abs and AURAx2

STRENGTH: L&B then Abs

YAY I was able to do the abs work out with minimal pain. And I'm not just saying that, after a few workouts of HTFU. Really, it felt good. I think next time the push-ups are featured I should do abs first. I think it's the push-ups that are aggravating things.

I need to report in on a few things here. Many times I ignore what's going on for a few days then realize that if I had kept better track I might have been able to figure things out faster.

Yesterday I had an aura before the run, and today I had one before the P90X and one mini one after. The room spun, my tummy turned over, and my HR elevated (probably all due to hypervigilance). I pushed down a lot more brekkie than normal. Urp, it's not feeling all that good yet.

I'm having trouble sleeping and I have uneven energy. Some days I just want to sleep, other days like yesterday I'm bouncy happy and OK. When my head hits the pillow I'm ready to snooze, my body doesn't want to get up again for anything, yet I don't sleep right away and wake up often. Then my doggie wakes me between 4 and 430 in the morning...that's OK since I'm going to bed around 9pm though. So I'm getting enough time in bed, but is it quality sleep?

I'm trying to eat more at breakfast, but my brekkie schedule is different now. DH pointed out that I'm getting up earlier to do P90X then still doing tri training. I knew this, but didn't really realize it until I started tracking how I felt in the mornings. So my first brekkie is smaller or non-existent so I don't get tummy upset strength training. Then an hour or so of cardio. Then second brekkie which lately has been smaller than before. I feel full and satisfied by the tummy, but maybe this isn't enough in the end to recover properly.

It's notable that my energy was better yesterday and it was a P90X day off. Just did 1:45 of cardio. Haha, "just".

At the same time, I'm getting dehydrated at work a lot lately. I need to make a better effort to drink more water!

It's hard to say if this brain-dead fog I'm in lately is due to poor fueling, extra training, the change in schedule, the fatigue of strength training, dehydration. All possible cues to keep an eye on.
