Day #38 Crazy week. Back to training! Eating healthier!

Well it has been a crazy week! Sleep deprived and training hard. Now I need to stop being lazy and get back to eating healthy. Will start again to slowly have better meals and everything else of that nature! And My lovely girlfriend will start eating healthy with me to so I don't have a excuse to eat bad lol. Will also start using my fitness pal and get things going with that also! Sounds like a plan... now I just have to stick with it!

Day #31 Training and recovery so far so good!

Two a days have so far been very beneficial for me! I been moderately sore and my lifts have not been effected by my out side training. Eating and recovery  have been good just got to keep up the pace and not drop off.

Day #24 Back to Reality

Well I am back from Vegas and its back to reality alright.. Well I did bring back something from Vegas and it was a good 6 pounds. Lol Now I have to get back working out and eating regularly. Might Increase working out a bit also and see how my body adapts to it. Hopefully everything will work out in a positive way :D. I definately want to be more active during the summer. We will see the results in a couple of weeks!

Getting back to the swing of things...

Things might have been tough. But I have fought my way through all of it. Going back to a full work/school week. Trying to keep a positive head through all of it. Focusing on one thing at a time, school, working out, work, and anything else that gets in my way. And one of the hardest things to go back to is eating cleaner. No more crap in my system got to get back to normal and get back on the wagon. I am very thankful to be in a position where I can literally do anything. I just have to pick a road to go on and start walking. We will see how this week goes. It will end just as fast as it started.

Why I am used to overeating, bad habits as a kid.

Healthy eating has been a crazy journey for me. Its been mainly portion control and self control. Portion control because of how i was raised. It started when I was about 10 or so when I was carpooling with my family and some friends. Being the only boy in the back seat I had to essentially fend for myself. As weird as that sounds it was the truth with 4 kids who can eat a cow and then some I had to get as much food as I can quickly before it all ran out. The sense of "Urgency" of eating had me overeating and I assume that was stuck in my brain for a long time. Although I essentially grew and thinned out a bit during high school I never really cared about what i ate as much cause I would always burn it off. 

But as I am being less active I now know that portion control is HUGE and is very important habit to control. With controlling what i eat being more independent, it helps me keep aware of what i am taking in. Progress has been great and for that i am thankful. One huge tip for weight loss is COMMON SENSE! 

Soo close to my weightloss goal.

Weighed myself after a week of dieting and eating no fast food. Or any "empty" calories, and WOW do I see a difference I went from 206 to this picture. Excuse my feet haha if you can't read the scale it is 203.8! So close to my 200 goal! :D

Day#3 Slightly fell off the wagon!

Breakfast 11:30 Had a really big breakfast burrito. It was a VERY bad choice to have. I can make up excuses all I want but still had the option to eat better. But Oh well nothing I can do now!

Snack 2:00 This baby is going to save me one day. And other snack I have throughout the day. Because If I dont snack then i will trick my self into eating something horrible! lol 

Mean 2: 3:40 One of the last slices I have of this thing. My meals need to switch up maybe I have to start shopping for my family lol

8:00 3 apples, 2 Pears, 1 Glass of Milk

Estimated calories in: 1,959  Fat%14%, Carbs:57%  Protein:29% 

On the road to eating better.

It helps to have someone on board with you. Especially when it comes to eating right. Need to eat more nuts, grains, And take in the proper carbs and portion control is really important. Some of the cooler things that I have been noticing is that my waist in my pants have been going down. But my legs have been getting bigger. So far my waist is 38/32. Maybe need to get longer pants but either way getting stronger. Now just need to correct some of my technique and I will go to Nationals next year.

Lifting, Eating and Saving

Lifting has been going very well. Although i didn't hit any new Personal Records. I have been getting my technique better. That alone will give me more Pr's then brute strength. I am looking forward to this next cycle and improving my technique so it is perfect and that it is way more consistent. Eating habits have also been better. Eating cleaner and healthier and less fast food. Although I have ate some fast food during this time but not enough to make a serious impact on my weight.

Saving has also been better. Good thing that there is nothing really catching my eye to buy right now.. But there is one thing I would really want to get. It's the Nike Fuel Band. It just basically tracks your daily activity levels to see how active your are and how many calories you burn a day. Its really cool looking and I have enough for it so I am seriously thinking about getting it. We will see soon enough.

Amazing Workout, And eating better.

Today was amazing this training cycle is going to kick my butt. But its making me such a better lifter. I am making the corrections and getting great feedback from my coach. He doesn't like telling me but he knows i have potential in this sport. Having him say that to me is the greatest compliment i can get from him.

Back to my dieting. I am eating better then i have in a couple of months. It feels great to do it and be conscious of what i am eating. I do not always eat the best but when i do i feel amazing. I am also trying to get my sleeping patterns back to normal because i have school coming up next week and that will be loads of fun! *sarcasm*

Working hard and taking one step at a time.

To be honest i didn't eat 100% healthy today. But i did get away with it because i worked out. And Going to run again tomorrow. After i rolled out my legs with my foam roller they felt a lot better! Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Edit: Did lightly job/ speed walk for a mile and a half. Just to test the knees and see if it wasn't going to affect them. It didn't so maybe some sprints tomorrow?

Week updated stats...

Been eating slightly healthy. Trying to do a better job of that. Working out normally 3 times a week skipped one session, going back to regular routine tonight. Been logging in the weight i been doing trying to push my self a little more with proper form of course! For me that is more important then weight.


So far Stats goes as follows.
Week 1:Weight: 214
Week 2: Weight 210.5

So i am back to my normal weight i been consistently at. Will try to keep that at least below that. Will also do measurements next week. no point to do one every week lol.

Logging More Data...

I am going to hopefully log in more data. Mostly about my Body weight, Sets and reps and log my progress more closely. Also my eating habits and how long i sleep and what not. This will hopefully keep me on track and let me see my results more closely. This should be interesting!
