Weekly Recap (October 12-19, 2008)
It was one of those Perfect Storm weeks where my good measurements went up, while my waist dropped nearly a full inch, and I only lost about 1 pound overall!
I kept carbs low again, which I plan to do from now on, because not only I am getting better results, but I actually feel better as well.
I'm averaging only about 150 grams of carbs on weight training days and just over 100 on cardio/off days.
Any fears I had about having low energy on a low-carb diet are completely gone, because I've felt great in every workout while still increasing strength, and I blasted through, not one, but two very intense speed camp sessions this week.
One change I'm going to be making this week is combining my two afternoon snacks into one and my two late snacks into one.
Right now, I'm eating 9 meals every day, spaced out about every two hours.
With this change, I would be eating only 7 meals per day, and have 3-4 hours between "feedings" in the second half of the day, which would free up some time.
I'm confident they will still be frequent enough to keep my metabolism revved up, so we'll see!
The only other adjustment is I will be subbing almonds/peanut butter for one of my chicken breasts.
Right now, I'm consuming nearly 300 grams of protein every day, and I just don't need that much — nobody does!
So, by making that swap, I'll still get the same amount of calories with a fraction of the protein.
Of course, I'll be upping my fat intake a bit, but, as always, we'll just have to see the results.
I think both of these changes will be major improvements in the long run.
That about raps it up for this week. See you next Sunday and don't forget you can follow my daily updates over at Geek2Freak.com.
