The last couple of days have been a real challenge.

Tuesday started off great, hit all my meals and my cardio (kickboxing).  Then I had the first of two hockey games that night.  We played great and won 6-3.  We also won the sportsmanship award for our league.  A $300 prize at the bar upstairs from the rink.  Being the captain of the team I ws responsible for ensuring that the boys all came out and enjoyed the fruits of their labour.

That's when the nurtition for the day fell apart.  A few beers, nachos, wings, and pizza later.  I was ready to play my second game of the night.

We were supposed to have 13 skaters for this game (3 lines of forwards and 2 pair of defence).  I typically play forward and thought "hey, I'll just keep my shifts short and hide behind my two other wingers".  So I get there and we 8 skaters!  Ah!  3 D and 5 forwards.... I volunteer to play D and have a really good game.  A pair of assists and even on the night.  We lost 5-4, but they had more spares on their bench then we had players.

So I get home at about midnight and I have to get up at 6 AM Wednesday for a hockey clinic.  I didn't make the clinic.  Alarm went off at 6 and I was in no shape to go anywhere.  So I got some more sleep and headed into work.

At this point I failed to plan my Wednesday, and I've snagged a ticket to the Senators opening game vs. the Islanders.  So I skipped my morning skate, had crap meals during the day, saw the Sens play a stinker, didn't do a lower body weight workout, found out my wife's car died on her way home, and again failed to plan my Thursday meals.

All that being said, I did put together some quality food to bring with me to work and do have my cardio (kickboxing) planned for today.  So it looks like I will be back on track today.

Even with the bad nutrition yesterday and late Tuesday, I don't think I hurt myself too much this week. I will make Sunday a half-free day.

I did miss a workout on Wednesday, but made up for it with a couple of extra "workouts" on Tuesday.  Having said that, one of the things I really want to make sure of this challenge is not to sacrifice weightlifting for anything, and I've gone and done that in my second session.  It will not happen again.
