Hockey Night in Burlington

It's nice being back home. Today was my catch up on my sleep and relax day before getting back into the daily routine.

I spent most of the day reading about how to set up a training program.

Wow, is there a lot to learn and consider. At one point I figured I should just pay the $35 per week to be professionally coached and be done with it. But if I really try to do it myself I'm sure I'll learn much more. What to do?..What to do?

I've realized how beneficial the weights have been to my legs. With just two hard leg workouts, my legs and calf's are feeling stronger. All the reading I'm doing is saying that weight training is critical, especially for the older athlete and should be maintained throughout the year.

My body was really craving food today. I ate more than usual, but ate well. I'm really focusing on the types of calories I'm eating. I'm using Nutridiary.com and analyzing my fats, proteins and carbohydrates.

Tonight was my first hockey game of the New Year. I took it easy and had a couple beers with the boys afterwards, but no nachos or wings. What willpower! :-)
