TRAINING:

930AM-

19 TURKISH GETUPS: 16KG-48KG. RAN THE RACK 2X. 

NUTRITION:

Not logging on myfitness pal, because the amounts would be too hard to calculate.

Powered down some green tea/caffeine tabs at about 8am, and then had a couple beef amino tabs and water after workout at 11am.

230pm-

1 tbsp coconut oil

8oz seared flatiron steak

handful of macadamia nuts

handful of raw almonds

3000mg fish oil

5000iu vitamin D

7pm-

Went to a law school dinner function with Stacey and they treated us well, with prime rib, baked potato, steamed vegetables and cheesecake (I can get away with a little if there is no crust). Had a drink before dinner and then some red wine. A little puffy today from who knows what, but not worried about it.

I hadn't been on the scale since about Sunday or Monday, after a Christmas party last weekend and with all the inflammation and the first easy week of the getup challenge, I was up to 227 and starting to feel flabby.

This week I stepped up the training gradually, and made sure to keep the diet full of foods that are known to be anti-inflammatory (those of you who have been to my classes on inflammation know what they are). I was shocked that it showed 221. That is a little too light, so expect to see a few more carbs in the mix now and then.
