Hello there! Today's day 19, overall feeling good. I had a massive refeed day on Sunday which included all of my favorite food - choc chip pancakes, some Mexican, dessert(s) from a cookout, and massive amounts of other grill type foods. Like I said in my last post, I need to reconfigure my diet. My weight was slipping way below where I want it. Remember, I am trying to maintain weight while decreasing bodyfat...so it gets a bit tricky! Losing body fat is relatively simple, adding muscle while stripping body fat to a individual who is somewhat highly trained is not as simple. After my eating frenzy on Sunday, I gained about 3-4lbs of water weight and intramuscular glycogen...I had a super good workout the next day (plenty of energy in me). Today(Wed) I am on my new eating plan. It's using the same foods, the only thing diff. was the addition of more carbs which increased overall calories. I am also using a 3 rotation now, 2 days of lower calorie (2100-2300) and day 3 at (2400-2600 calories). This will help accelerate metabolism while sparking some new growth. My pics in week 4 should not look as pancake flat as I did in week 3....In my pics from week 3 I felt I looked smaller and not as lean as the previous week. Nutrition is not an exact science, sometimes we need to tweak. If you're dialed in this is relatively simple to do....your body will tell you what it needs. This project is allowing me to reconnect on many different levels. It's allowing me assess my hunger, pinpoint what fuel mixture is most appropriate for my body ( I am learning I need more carbs to accelerate results and feel better). As we age, our body changes. It's important to be in tune with your body and feed it the superfoods that we need in order to be strong, healthy and disease free. I also went to the chiropractor today and need to schedule another massage this week. I boxed yesterday and just went for a long walk with Donna V on the West Haven boardwalk in between clients. Today is a rest and recover day. Tomorrow its leg day...bring it on! PS I also added some wild rice and sweet potatoes into my regimen....damn, sweet potatoes taste so good with cinnamon and butter! |
