Well I finally rowed today. I did the 8 sets of 500m intervals with 2 minutes rest. Ugh. It did suck. My legs were tired and I could hardly breathe. My times were fairly consistent...1:52 to 1:56 with a lot of 1:53's. That part made me happy. Then when I looked at my time from a month ago when I did 7 sets of 500m my times went from 1:55 to 2:01. So I'm apparently getting faster even though this is only the 3rd time I've rowed in the past 10 days. I need to keep going.
The eating is ehh. No caffeine was a plus. Eating "bars" is never good because they don't have sugar and yet they aren't "real food". I definitely feel better eating real food but when I feel anxious, I grab whatever I can or I go buy whatever I can to eat then and there...well usually in my car. This happened today. I managed to not listen to anxious thoughts the first time but the second time they creeped into my head I let those jittery feelings "win". The dude at Kaiser said that people are usually some blend of depressed and anxious. I'm definitely more anxious than I am depressed. This seems like it should be an easier thing to "fix". I've started the "anxiety" book that he recommended so we'll see how that goes.
