Definitely. Have to change up my schedule some.
As far as dietary things go, I am doing a couple of different things and they seem to be working. First is "intermittent fasting" after I eat dinner I don't eat until lunch the next day. Breakfast is a big cup of coffee with about 2 tbsp of heavy cream. The fat keeps me from getting hungry but does not trigger any insulin response so it's the same as skipping a meal, but I honestly do not get hungry most days. If I do there is a bag of almonds on my desk. After that I am eating a high fat high protein lunch and dinner. I get plenty to eat, but no trash. Just veggies in real butter and meat.
^^^ Mitch, one of the things I've learned is that skipping meals can have the opposite effect than expected. The way I understand it, skipping a meal can signal the body to store more fat as a reserve for those times that its not getting food. It is often recommended to eat several (small portions) throughout the day, so that the body always has food to get energy from. opposed to storing energy as fat when food is available, and then tapping into that stored energy when there is no food available.
Im curious about this one. Was a bottle of lotion involved?
No, just gun oil. Poked a lot of holes.....
Hope to do some of that on Friday.
Today is gonna be hard.
300 standard jumps w/ jump rope, 100 side to side (like skiing) jump rope, max pushup, max pull up, lunge jumps, run 1/4 mile at 6:30 pace.
repeat 4 times. Try to recover during jump rope.
Well see if can keep that running time, probably will slow down some after 2nd rep.
Maybe i'll add 30 sec's of wind-sucking time after 2nd or 3rd rep
This is absolutely true DEPENDING on what you are eating. I don't understand it but it has a lot to do with insulin response and such. Remember, you are already in a bit of a fast just by eating dinner around 6-8 and not eating breakfast till 6-8 the next day. That's as much as a 12 hour fast already. During that time your gut bacteria are cycling and a bunch of other sciencey stuff. By eating the coffee with heavy cream I am giving my body some of what it needs to "run" but not triggering an insulin response. I don't fully understand it, but it's working well so far. Not to say it will work for everyone, do some reading on "Intermittent Fasting" and see for yourself.
Here is the meal plan I am trying to go by as well as some other things. Not doing the "challenge" but this outlines pretty well what I am trying to eat and do.
