MAKE ME LEAN ~ DAY 1

I'll probably log on Fitday sometime soon.. but for now I'll do it here.. got back from the gym around 8h30 pm and want to be in bed by 10h00. Watching the 3rd period of the Habs game .. I only watch them during the Series.. but do enjoy it.

The way I ate today is NOT the way I ate these last weeks.. at least.. not the quantities! Logging sure helps to take control.. specially when we think someone will read.. ;)

EARLY MORNING THE FIRST DAY

Ahhh it's spring time.. the leaves are starting to show and the weather is warmer..

but that has nothing to do with this Blog.. at least not for now.. so let's get to the point.

This message from Steve got me motivated to start trying to get to be the lean mean love machine I want to be..

I think the first thing to do is workout a map of your weeks daily energy expenditure including times of expenditure etc and duration and intensity (that would mean using a Rat of Perceived Perception 1 being extremely low and 10 being extremely intense close to passing out).then we can work out your peeks and flows. The next stage I would say to do is keep a food log as you do for the week, an entirely honest one warts and all and vices and also commentary as to ie Gosh I want to stick my head in a trough and pig out etc then we can start to build around that.Personaly I think we need structure but I also think your not fueling your demands well. I think that some days the intensity pushes you way to low that the body holds onto stores big time and yuo are forever refeeding.I know I harp on about it but could yuo keep a water log too: use a 500 ml water bottle and put the 8 rubber bands on it to keep track. hows that lot sound for starters.....I dont wanna promise you miracles without knowing the full story.
