Man what a good good workout and much needed after two crummy stress filled days at the office.
So as we walked to the track we talked a lot about nutrition, which we do normally, but this time Anthony told me stuff that either I didn't want to hear or that I could not comprehend. EAT MORE! I am not consuming enough good calories. I guess I know that but it is so against what I've learned - less in than you burn to lose weight. Anyway, Anthony does not want me to track my food intake anymore. He knows I am eating the right stuff so just more of it. I'll have to figure it out as I currently eat three meals and two snacks. Guess I need to add to the snacks for more caloric intake. On to the workout...
Today was by far the hardest I've worked yet or should I say in 6 years! Normal warm up and such but the two main activities were a modified kick boxing and some plyo. We also did some good good core work.
When I worked out with Anthony 6 years ago he would bring out the bag and gloves and we'd box/kick; a great workout. This was slightly modified as during the reps he would call out "Sprawl" and, for those that have wrestled know but for those that don't, I'd drop to a burpie push up, bounce up and re-engage. So either while boxing or kicking we'd do this...Oh My God, it hurt but feels good know. The plyo was interesting. In a push up position, I'd go half way down and hold it. Not up and down just holding...PAIN. Core workout with a rubber band capped off the day.
By far the hardest day but, again, it feels really good know. Know if I can only mentally get over eating more! I know it is the right thing but it will be hard. For example, after the workout I had protein shake 130 cals, 36grm of protein. Two hours later I had a cheese stick 80 cals, tomato soup 280cals, and some stir fried mushrooms and spouts maybe 100 cals and I am stuffed...not sure I could eat more right now. Well see how I feel tomorrow.
Until Friday...night

Hey dude, two things to think about regarding caloric intake and training: 1) There is a lag time between the time your caloric deficiency occurs and the actual weight loss. What that time is depends on many factors, not the lease of which is your personal physiology. Also, as you now know, there will be cycles of more weight loss than others and 2) I found that as I ate more frequently, I lost more weight. This worked more toward the end of my weight loss regimen and I'm sure it's different for others. But at one point I was eating around 8-10 times a day. Mind you, I consider a fruit a meal.
ReplyDeleteFinally, don't forget to eat within 1/2 hour of a training session! This is when our metabolic processes are kicked into overdrive. You want to restore glycogen and carbs during this critical time.
Good feedback Dave, thanks!
