I don't rightly know. Every body is a little different I suppose. Stored muscle glycogen keeps me going I think. I think my trainer has me doing the fasted workouts (1 per week, building by 10 minutes each week over 6 weeks) to exhaust muscle glycogen although I'm not sure why. I haven't asked yet.

A few years ago I would wake up, swim an hour and then not eat until lunchtime. But I would overeat at lunch and dinner.

I have since recognized the joys of giant breakfasts.

To burn fat as fuel instead of carbs.

90 minutes in spinning class tonight. Neck started hurting though, I think I am going to have to stop working out before spinning class right now...

17/19. Yay! Might not make the (arbitrary) time goal I set, but feel confident I will make the days goal (which was, after all, my main goal).

Got very dizzy tonight. Don't know why. Still got 20 minutes in - so all is well.

I originally set a 20 hour goal for this challenge but backed off to 18 because of my neck. I am only 4 hours away from my goal, but I am going to leave it as it is. If I go over, then great. The neck thing gets frustrating...
