Sat & Sun 9/1-2 - Cardio & Week Recap

Sat: Day off. Nothing. Didn't track nutrition today. Day2 of re-feed. Lots of cereal.

Sun:

Cardio:

Walked 3.25 miles (53 mins) at 9AM into Old Town Leesburg
Took an hour break
Ran 3 miles home + 1.25 mile walk home from Old Town (51 mins)

Walked into town, took a break with some friends and ran home. Ran/walked part of it on the W&OD trail. Need to do this more often. Starting running was difficult after walking and resting. Calves/feet felt better than last time I ran, but still not great. I feel like I've just started running again after MONTHS/Years of not running. I know I'm in better cardio shape than this. Still frustrated.

Nutrition:
I walked/ran fasted this morning and then was heading out to meet a friend. I was going to fast a while longer, but decided I'd better eat something. I then ended up fasting the rest of the day. I'm getting hungry this evening (writing this at 10:45), but figure at this point I'll fast until tomorrow. Not sure if I'm going to work out tomorrow or give my elbow another rest day. It's still really bothering me, and back day is hardest on it (back would be tomorrow). I weighed 180.6 this morning after 2 days of small re-feed. I'm beginning to question how effective these re-feeds are. I think I might be better off just doing a constant calorie deficit. I seem to go overboard on the re-feeds.

Sun	Time	Item	Size	Prot	Carb	Fat	Cal

		TOTALS:	Grams	45	38	2	350
			Calories	180	152	16	348
			Percent	52%	44%	5%	100%

Week ending 9/2 recap:
I'm tired and getting hungry so I think I'll go to bed and try to remember to fill this out tomorrow. Bottom line is it was a decent week, but aches and pains are catching up with me and might be time for a forced break from both diet and training.

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.
