Weekly Recap (August 10-17, 2008)
I made quite a good recovery after last week's epic 8000-calorie junk/fast food binge!
Not only did I keep most of the weight I gained, but I added to the good measurements and subtracted from the waist.
Once again, the perfect storm of building muscle and losing fat, though certainly on a smaller scale than some of my other weeks.
And keep the good times rollin' because I was also completely calf-pain-free this week, after both speed camps, so my legs have finally adjusted to the new demands.
Of course, now that I've got that handled, my ankles and feet have been slightly swollen this week for some reason.
There's no pain at all, and it started around the same time as my epic binge, so I'm guessing it may have been a sodium overload, and I'm just retaining a lot of fluid down there.
I'm sure it will be gone in a couple of days.
Also, I finally hunkered down and added my full diet log to Geek2Freak.com.
With starting the new workout program and derailing a bit recently, I figured this was the best time to completely overhaul my diet.
The actual foods are virtually the same, but I'm experimenting with nutrient timing by adjusting portions and mealtimes.
It's time to take things to the next level, so I meticulously planned out every day's nutrition, and I'm looking forward to better results than I've ever seen.
I had used FitDay a few times in the past to track food intake, but I discovered a similar service this weekend at TheDailyPlate.com and was completely blown away.
It let me drill down to the smallest details, group by meals and times, and their database of foods is huge, because each time a user enters a food, it becomes available for everyone else.
It's definitely worth plugging at least a day's worth of your food into to get an idea of just what you're consuming.
Chances are you'll be very surprised!
Tomorrow's the first official day of beginning the "Maximum Strength" program, and I'm ready to go!
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.
