Week One

Mind: I spent a lot of time logging down what I am doing and what I am eating this week. I have one journal that is only for my workouts which allows me to track how I do and compare it to months and weeks before. My other journal is all about the food I am eating. After reading a bit about the Zone diet by Barry Sears, I decided to give it a try and see what I could start with. Each day has its own page and each page is broken down into each meal for which I record what I ate and its nutrtitional content in terms of Protein Carbs and Fat. For any one interested my body supposedly needs "16" blocks a day (small male). Let me break that down into grams of stuff. Breakfast (28g protein, 36g carbs, 5gfat) Snack1( 14g protein, 18g carb, 2.5gfat) Lunch (28g protein, 36g carbs, 5gfat), Snack2( 14g protein, 18g carb, 2.5 gfat), Dinner(28g protein, 36g carbs, 5gfat). That works out to about 1240 calories a day which sounds crazy to me. Fat content seems a little low and I do remember Randy T the trainer saying that he and his crew were actually doubling the fat amount. In the end it should come out to a Protein/Carb/Fat makeup of 40/30/30. I have come close to that this week but like I said I did up the fat. Overall I feel great. I've been drinking water like a fish. Oddly and immediate boost in energy, maybe due to just being psyched up? Gym energy level felt really good. Calories for the last few days were (1309, 1529, 1380, 1310, 1193, 1555) overall I think I'm due for a 2000 calorie day. Also noticed I didn't sleep so great this week. Too excited? At the start of This week I weighed 161 and was feeling kind of bloated and bulky from thanksgiving.

Body: Followed Crossfit for 1 week straight. Hit a PR on "Fran" of 7:35. First time I did this with 20lbs less at 14:05! My goal is to stay on, even if I have to scale it to puppy level. Friday's workout was huge in helping me recover from Thursday and is a much better idea than my typical "I need another day off attitude", which leads to more soreness which leads to a third day off.

Spirit: Just did wide angle vision exercise once.
