Down But Not Out

It had to happen.

With 4 germy kids running around loose and all recently sick, their cooties struck me down.

I've got a virus (since Saturday) so I'm making sure to NOT workout and stock up on sleep, hydration and healthy eating.

See you on the other side.

Post Cheat Day

If you're trying to lean up for Spring/Summer here in Lago Vista, Texas, the weather has been especially accommodating for you to get outside and walk, jog, run, sprint, etc.

I certainly have been taking advantage of it this week (read my recent blog posts).

When I think of getting lean, I like to break things up into phases.

I've just started phase 1 which is cleaning up my diet post Holidays and post football season.

So phase 1 involves eating 5-6 meals a day, all clean meals except for perhaps dinner.

I like to ease into phase 1.

So far, I've dropped 7 lbs just by getting outside and adding more cardio to my daily routine and by entering phase 1 of my "get leaner" program.

All in less than one week!

The weight loss is mainly water loss (bloat) that has been hanging around as a result of my holiday/NFL football watching nutrition phase.

I've gone from 194lbs since Jan 22nd to 187lbs on Jan 24th.

Lots of water weight and sodium retention.

I had a cheat meal last night (Friday).

After my workout, I came home had a whey protein drink.

60 minutes later, I had a salad with grilled chicken.

Here comes the "Cheat".

I had a piece of red velvet cake and a pint of Blue Bell ice cream.

Ugh.

This morning, I probably gained a few pounds (I don't bother with the scale after a cheat meal).

I drank water, had coffee then did a light workout in my garage gym (pics coming soon) on the concept rower, pull ups, push ups, dips and was done.

I burned around 200 calories and used up some of the excess glycogen (carbs) floating around my system.

Now, as I type this, I'm drinking a ton of water (up to 2 gallons through out the day) and will eat clean for the remainder of the day and until Wednesday of next week.

As mentioned, this is Phase 1 of my program.

Workout was:
2000 meter row
10 wide pull ups
5 parallel pullups
5 fat bar pullups
3 skinny bar pullups
10 dips
10 parallel bar push ups
