STRENGTH: 1 hr
BIKE COMMUTE 20 miles, to gym, plus loops, and commute
I slept good last night but woke up a lot to pee. When I went to bike home, my legs were very swollen so I'm going to take a guess (not a hard one to make!) that my body dumped off the fluid. I've been feeling swollen and bloated all week, when will it end? And how will I look tonight? And what is causing it? Extra salt, rest week, sitting...?
So I woke up tired with flat energy. Rode to the gym and had a flat workout. Much much better than Monday's weak-ass session, but still flat. Not a lot of spark. Ride home, pushed a bit on the ride with some 1/4 lap standing on the pedals. Then home to walk dog.
Now all week since Tuesday I've had a return of my GI symptoms, mild but present. Bloating, some pain, cramps, gut noises that sound awful, and T5's as I call them. I've been logging foods and looking for a pattern, nothing yet. Today after M1 I was fairly cramped up and burpy and it made for an uncomfortable ride to work. Got to thinking I might not be able to finish the day, started thinking about where I can lie down to rest in my yoga pose... But then after about noon or so I'm feeling OK. Energy perked up a bit and stomach calmed.
So what's going on?!
My new batch of yogurt doesn't correlate. I've been eating a new recipe of beef, lentils, frozen beans and spinach with mustard. I ate lots of starches over the weekend. I'm eating 3-5 fruits a day. The lentils? Mustard? Accumulated starches? Ugh. Just wanna be normal, but happy this didn't last all day.
The Gateway Cup starts tonight! Was fun to ride my loops around LP and see the lights, prep, signs, and cleaned streets. BP is on Monday, those will probably be the only races I spectate.
