TRAINING/NUTRITION BLOG: 01/13/13 - More Intermittent Fasting and Short, Hard Workouts.

[Jim B]

Not sure what fasting for 18-24hrs 4 times in the past week week did, but it seems that I have had some kind of shift in my appetite and now 24hrs is nothing without eating. I'm sure this will change if I get into some kind of calorie deficit, but for now it is kind of an interesting experiment. I feel fine and have plenty of energy. Not going to force myself to eat. 

TRAINING:

10AM-

3 MIXED TABATA INTERVALS OF HINDU PUSHUPS AND KETTLEBELL SWINGS

12PM-

16 TAEKWON-DO HYUNGS

100% effort. 

01/13

5 80yd Hill sprints at The Hill of Death, in about 2 inches of snow. Bright and sunny out and 20 degrees. 5fingers are not the best snow shoes, and running that steep hill in the snow was awesome training! Quit before the sprints lost any speed. 

100% effort on all. 

NUTRITION:

Eating 1-2 meals per day. Not necessarily 100% paleo. I add a little cheese, white rice and have had a couple huge baked potatoes the past couple days.

Went to Mongo's Mongolian grill in Meridian. Probably the most healthy Mongolian in town. Lots of meat, lots of veggies, skipped the sugary sauces and noodles. Had about 2 cups of white rice with it. 

 

No appetite for the rest of the day.
