Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Calves Day

Today I am very positive about the success of this diet in the long run. Just a few more tweaks and a few more disciplinary thoughts and I’m sure on the way to losing weight.

The past 40 days has been a learning experience for me but it’s been great. I haven’t lost a ton of weight and I’m holding a ton of water from my extra high sodium intake but I feel a lot better about my body.

I am able to work well and I feel that I’m slowly becoming stronger. That is one of the most important feelings that I value in fitness. Feeling strong. I am sure it is all relative but it does feel nice to pick up heavy things and be able to lift them with confidence.

That’s not to mean I am powerlifting. In fact in the gym I attend I probably belong to the lower 25% percentile when it comes to lifting poundage. But I’m an old guy not wanting to impress gym goers. I feel old with the company of young men pushing really heavy weights with their buddy spotters.

They remind me of what my friends and I were doing a very long time ago. Ah the cycle of gym life. Perhaps one day I’ll feel like that old guy that everyone keeps seeing at the gym. Pleasant, happy and wrinkly. But Strong!

Today I did something different, I trained while being sore. I was still sore from my chest workouts but decided to hit gym hard. I was panting and really tried to give it at all at gym today.

Side Effect? I could not stop thinking about a bucket full of fried chicken. And yes, I had to have some. I had 2 Large Fried Chicken Breast a few hours after gym.

Break

I’ve been training way beyond the recovery abilities of my 33 year old frame. It’s just been extremely exhausting. I’m beginning to take 2 to 3 day breaks from the gym. Right after my weight lifting workout I sweat for hours.

During my workouts I try my best. But I think I’ve shrank due to my relatively intense workouts. I may be just overtraining and my body screams for food all day long. This is why I’ve went from my usual 2 light meals to 5-meal days.

If I don’t eat enough I’d be tired all day long and dizzy. I should cut back on my exercise as well as my food intake. I don’t want to say 200 pounds fat forever!

Break

Becoming a bit busy to log my thoughts. But I’ve been re-aligning my goals so far. I was hoping to lose 2 pounds a week but it just doesn’t seem sustainable after the 4th or 5th week. I’m hoping to lose 1 pound per week for the entire 2012.

Currently, I guesstimate that I’m holding about 60 pounds of fat on my 200 pound 30% body fat frame. If I lose 1 pound a week of fat (difficult, improbably but not impossible) that’s a potential 43 pounds of fat that can be lose for the entire 2012.

I’m setting my eyes on that goal. I guess this one is at least achievable.
