I have definitely moved into a whole new league with my workouts. Yesterday, after work, I did 3 solid hours of cardio at the gym. 1 hour on the bike, 1 hour on the treadmill, and 1 hour rowing. Only stopping to switch machines after each hour.

People are asking me how I could do it for that long. Honestly, I think most people could do 3 hours of exercise like that. You hear about people in the news that get stranded out in a forest or in the snow and they walk for hours and hours. You can do it regardless of the shape you are in. It's all in your head. It did make it a lot easier that I work out as much as I do. I have been building up my duration on each machine to where I knew I could do an hour on each of those machines because I had already been doing it. So, I just combined 3 machines together. They all used different muscles so I'm not really that sore today.

I became very aware of how far I can push my body last year when I ran the Wharf to Wharf without training for it. When I did run at the gym, it was for maybe 10-15 minutes and it wasn't often. But I just showed up and ran 6.2 miles. Well, I did walk when the nausea set in until it would pass and then run again.

Last night, I purposely did not eat dinner but I was thinking about what I ate during the day and realized I think I just barely reached 1000 calories. And I burned just over 1000 calories in my 3 hour workout. Plus the 45 minutes at lunch. So, that's not good. I know you're supposed to burn more than you take in but I know 1000 is too low if I'm working out that much. Plus, I didn't have a lot of carbs.
