I'm working hard to build strength, so I focus a lot on protein intake. My daily goal is over 100g of protein and it's taken some time to get there. I always eat some form of protein an hour before I workout, and within the hour after I've worked out. My 3 basic protein snacks are a fat free yogurt with vanilla protein powder added, a serving of eda mame (soybeans) or a hard boiled egg. Since I work out at lunch, my lunch itself is my after workout protein serving.
I've had a bit of a slow week. New Years Eve I came down with something that sidelined me, so I took the weekend off. Started slow on Monday with the personal trainer and that actually helped me feel better, but my knees were really sore so I skipped running that evening. Did a strength training class Tuesday at lunch, but then skipped my upper body workout that evening. And took the day off today. I still take Sunday as a dedicated day off, but I'm mostly working out 6 days a week at this point. I'm listening to my body more though, and if it needs a break, I'll take a floating day off during the week. But if everything is in working order, I won't take an extra day off. My schedule looks like this right now:
Monday - personal trainer at lunch, running intervals after work
Tuesday - strength training class at lunch, upper body workout after work
Wednesday - abs/back class at lunch, running intervals after work
Thursday - boot camp class!
Friday - distance running at lunch, abs workout after work
Saturday - running intervals and heavy upper/lower body work out
Sunday - off!
