Thu 8/30 - Cardio

Cardio:

Ran 4.2 in 38:55 (9:45,9:26,9:24,8:42), 9:15 pace, c/d 16mins. Total 55mins

Started out feeling GREAT. Knees/calves/feet felt good. I thought, "I'm back!". ~5 min into the run my calves just began to ache. What the heck is going on? This used to be an EASY run only a few weeks ago. I'm not cutting *that* hard, but could it be due to low cals/carbs? Normally in the past if my legs were feeling "dead" it was more in the quads. Now my legs from knees down are just all screwed up. Frustrating.

Nutrition:
Tough low carb/calorie day today. I think it was tougher because I was home today, so I knew food was just a few steps away the whole day. Eating window today was 2PM-8PM. I weighed 171.6 this morning, which was a little higher than I expected, but only by about a pound.

A little about my journey...

Hi, my name is Kip. On July 24th, 2011 I made a decision to change my life. At the time I weighed 250 pounds, was sedentary, my blood pressure was 170/110 and I was already on a max dose of BP medication to control it. I was well on my way to turning 40 and having a heart attack. This blog is about what I’m currently doing to improve my health and my journey to get my life and health back under control to get to where I am 9 months after starting (Apr 2012) - which is 170 lean pounds, no blood pressure meds and a new outlook on life.

I decided to start this blog for 2 reasons. First, it's a record where I can look back to see what’s working and what isn’t so I can make improvements. Second, a lot of people have asked me what I've done to transform my body, so hopefully it can help someone else glean some helpful information they can incorporate into their lives to make positive impactful changes. So, here it is. Since I'm just starting this blog 9 months in, I'll post a few blogs to recap in more detail where I was and how I got here. Going forward I'll be posting workouts and training/diet/nutrition information I think others can benefit from. I didn’t re-invent the wheel, so I’ll be referencing materials I use along the way. Below there's a picture taken shortly after a body fat test in May 2013.
