Roasted a lemon chicken and some veggies last night for a great dinner and enough leftovers for breakfast and lunch today - roast sweet potato is almost my favourite thing in the world, also roasted carrot and capsicum (red pepper) and steamed green beans. D-Lucious
Training this morning was fired by 2 coffees - I woke up at 4am to watch 90 mins of Redzone before leaving home
3x8 - light Kettlebell Squats - 16kg KBs
3x20 steps - Kettlebell walking lunges - 14kg DBs
3 laps (approx 50m per lap) of 110kg sled push
1x100 calories on the assault bike - 7.45.
First time my back has been good enough for me to do the KB squats, so stayed light. Will be interesting to see what kind of DOMS I have this pm/tomorrow
Incidentally, have major pectoral DOMS, I think from the flye/push up finisher yesterday.
Status
I feel like I'm through my craving stage now, which is great..albeit while I was roasting the chicken yesterday evening after a hard day at the gym, doing yard work and with the kids, it felt wrong not to have a bottle of red to drink. The psychological addiction to drinking/'eating bad food' occasions is very strongly ingrained in me.
Sleeping has been heavier and less interrupted and my mood & anxiety has been more under control, despite having a horrific day on Thurs, when two deals that would have made up 75% of my Q4 revenue fell over within 60 minutes.
Plans
I'm going to initiate a 1x per week 18 hour fast, where I don't eat between dinner at 7 pm and lunch at 1pm. I'm generally fasting 14 hours per day anyway, because I don't eat breakfast before 9, but I'm going to have one longer day.
And I'm going to get a little stricter - I've had a cup of tea with half a spoon of sugar first thing in the morning a few times last week. That goes and I'm going to aim to cut out the slurps of milk I take from the bottle a couple of times per day after I spoon the nut butter in.
Training is going fine - just gonna keep doing what I do at the gym, get in at least one yoga session and try to stay active. The 100 calorie Assault Bike was humbling - I haven't done any conditioning for ages and that time is really slow but it hurt a lot - it did come after the sled push, which is tough on the metcon too, but no excuses. I'm going to commit to doing that 2x per week, which basically means Mon and Weds, because I only go to the gym that has those bikes on Mon to Weds
