Day 9: May 17th 2023

 Today is Wednesday, I woke up at 8:30am and today I am playing in my last ever lacrosse game of my life..... oh nooo. Since today was gameday I didn't get too much of a workout in. I worked on stretching and plyometrics to ensure that my body would be ready to perform come game time. I got a filling but light lunch in after my session in the gym. This consists of a sandwich and some rice. Since it was my last game, I decided to go to Jake's and get an energy drink to try and hype myself up before the game. Our game started at 3pm, and we ended up losing 9-6 to KUA. Since our game was so early, we didn't get a meal after and we went back to school for the dining hall dinner which wrapped up day 9.

Hours Today: 2.5

Total Hours: 35

Week 1 Reflection

       This past week of senior project I focused on strength training in the gym, wrist strength in the form of shooting pucks in the rink, and focusing on my daily nutrition to try and have more energized workouts. During the week I mainly had the split of working out during the morning, having a lunch break, and then going to shoot pucks in the rink. I found this to work well because I typically don't like to have big meals before my workout and only a little snack. Working out in the morning allowed my to get a quick snack in, either toast or fruit, and then get to work. Shooting pucks after lunch with my colleagues Nick and Caca was very fun and collaborative. We were able to get our roller blades on and buzz around the Ted like old days and kept it fun and entertaining to pass around. Overall this past week has been a major success towards all of our personal goals.       One of my personal goals from this past week was to note how different food affected my energy throughout

Week 2 reflection

Throughout this past second week of the most intense and gruesome workouts of my life, I have learned several valuable lessons that have contributed to my personal growth. Firstly, I have discovered the importance of variety and flexibility in my training routine. By switching up my workout times and exploring different exercises, I have found what works best for me when it comes to keeping myself motivated. This flexibility has not only positively impacted my performance but has also added some excitement to my training sessions. On the other hand, I have also gained a deeper understanding of nutrition and fueling my body for my best performance. Paying attention to what I eat before, during, and after workouts has allowed me to sustain energy levels and promote muscle recovery. I have realized the need to strike a balance between eating what I want to eat, and eating what I should eat. This awareness has encouraged me to make more informed choices, avoiding regrettable food options a

Day 1, May 8th 2023

 On the first day of my senior project I had the pleasure of taking the AP Calculus AB exam. Before the exam, I woke up around 7:15 am to grab a quick shower, get dressed, and head to breakfast. For breakfast I had scrambled eggs, home fries, french toast sticks with maple syrup, alongside a hefty cup of joe. My exam started at 8:05 am and went until 12:30 pm with just one 10 minute break in the middle. I felt very prepared and confident in my exam thanks to Bill's help with my preparation, hoping for a 5/5! After my exam I headed to the Brown Dining Hall to grab some lunch. For my senior project I hope to try different types of diets and see how they affect my energy and workouts throughout the day. For lunch today I ate a turkey and cheese sandwich, grilled on the panini press, and a side of white rice. This is a staple lunch for me at Proctor Academy and one I often go to when I am not feeling the hot food. After lunch Nick, Colin, and I went to the rink to shoot pucks and work
