October 18th, 20111

Notes:

I'm going to make more of an effort to watch my protein intake and keep it around one gram per pound.  I've been reluctant to use much whey because I can't seem to find a straight answer to whether or not it causes too large of an insulin spike.  That fact that it does spike insulin seems to be universally accepted.  The effect of that spike on leaning out seems to be less clear.

 

However I am…

October 17th, 2011

Notes:

Been a bad week.  I don't function that well with Carol gone.  I married well.  :) 

 

Beyond that, right after she left, our basement got flooded with all kinds of damage.  Insurance is refusing to pay.  Nightmare...

 

Some good kettlebell successes tho.  With Jim's help and motivation I accomplished my October goal of 100 continuous snatches @ 16kg on 10/15.  Two weeks early!  Jim…

October 5th, 2011

So... Yeah...

Today is my son's 11th birthday. I moved my rest day from Friday to today, so that I would have time to make his birthday dreams come true. :)

Long story short, lots of snack foods today. I ate good stuff too, but there were enough treats scattered throughout the day that recording all of it isn't going to be pretty.

This also counts for our celebration meal (which we usually have on Sunday).

Notes:

Grrr.. Just had a very negative experience at the gym.  Need to vent. 

 

I went to workout at my corporate gym, at a location I don't usually go to.  My usual gym had a yoga class at the  time I could work out, so I thought I'd just run over to a different location.  It turned out to be a less than ideal workout area, as the kettlebells are out on the basketball court, so folks were shooting hoops…
