Marina - Holding steady

No change on the scale this morning.

Breakfast: Bacon omelette
Snack: Apple slices sprinkled with cinnamon
Lunch: Salad with chicken. Fresh vegetable juice. (Green juice with orange foam looks odd. Lots of carrots in this one.)
Snack: Cashews
Dinner: Sweet potato fritters with spicy sour cream and peach salsa (Mmmmm!)
Snack: Small bowl of strawberries

1 hour 31 minutes total exercise. 40 minutes MAX Workouts-Weights first thing in the morning. 16 minutes on the treadmill. Increased my incline to 6 after the first 8 minutes at 3. 35 minutes on the bike. Felt slightly sick towards the end and after the weights this morning. I did some research online and discovered that it's fairly common when working large muscle groups, but didn't find a definitive answer as to why. There were plenty of possible explanations, though — eating before a workout, working out on an empty stomach, too many carbs, not enough carbs, drinking water between sets, lactic acid, toxin release for newbies. Whatever the reason, didn't feel that great for a little while.
