Notes From Rest Week
So... I'm pretty frustrated about getting sick. I really wanted to see how my body responded to the rest and the extra sleep... but the virus made it really difficult to tell. I definitely feel rested... but also yucky.
Weight loss seemed to continue without interruption. I have a suspicion that cortisol may play a big role for me in all this. Time will tell.
I set some goals with Jim's help (more on that later). I got a start on organizing my kettlebell…

Zzzzzzzz
Without a doubt my biggest failing at this whole thing has been sleep. Followed closely, so I'm told, by Jack Daniels & Diet Coke (yes, Isderf, I'm looking at YOU ya lurker! :))
I get six to seven hours of sleep a night, which isn't enough for me to support the kettlebell workouts. I think that is the biggest single contributor to me starting to feel worn down. In my workouts I can tell the difference between six and seven hours the previous night. That extra hour of…

Celebration!
I don't like it because I don't feel like I am cheating during that meal. I work my keester off for six days and eat 20+ clean meals. That one meal is a reward for a job well done and I look forward to it. So labeling it as a "cheat" just rubs me wrong.
I've heard the term "free meal" used as an… Continue

Three months!
So! I am at my three month anniversary of kettlebelling!
I couldn't be happier! Strength and fitness improvements are better than I expected. Body composition changes are proceeding at a nice steady pace. I'm averaging about a pound a week loss of scale weight (whatever that is good that measurement is for). My Robb Wolf "Look-Feel-Perform" measurements are off the charts!
Three months is also when folks talk about taking a "week off" from exercise. I've…

Notes:
Sorry no log from yesterday. The floods in the east coast caused some chaos for us at work. Although nothing compared to the folks actually over there. :(
Was a pretty normal rest day. Only cheat to report was a couple Jack Daniels with diet cola. That, plus sleep deprivation, knocked me right out. :)
