Day 5: The "Zone 2" Win πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ”₯

5.77 km Run | 7h 5m Total Sleep | 1,808 cal Consumed

Welcome to Day 5! Today's 5.77 km run was a solid mid-distance effort. What I am really proud of is that I kept my heart rate highly controlled at a 115 bpm average. My run was almost entirely in the "Weight Control" heart rate zone (107-123 bpm), which is absolutely perfect for building my aerobic base and burning fat without overtaxing my body before the big day.

On the recovery side, I was in bed for a total of 7h 5m, with 6h 1m of actual sleep. My sleep latency was excellentβ€”I fell asleep incredibly fast. While I want to bump my actual sleep time up slightly for supreme recovery, this was definitely a step in the right direction.

My calorie intake was very disciplined today, coming in at 1,808 kcal against my 1,950 budget (93% of the limit). But the real highlight of the day was being the "Fiber King", hitting a massive 167% of my fiber goal! Filling up on foods like Choley Salad and Cabbage Sabji was an amazing hack to stay full while cutting weight. My zinc intake was a bit low at 49%, so tomorrow I might start looking into some zinc-rich vegetarian sources (like pumpkin seeds or chickpeas) to bring that number right back up. Let’s keep this momentum going!
