Right. I haven't posted all summer. Like to think that was because I was too busy working out and stuff, but not so. I was looking for a job. Still not a good reason, but I'll use it. Oh, I got a job.
So, what have I done for workouts this summer? Hmm. I went mountain biking, which is a blast in one of the best places on the east coast, a bunch. I went for some road rides on the cape and around here. I swam laps a few times. I hiked the Grand Canyon for a hour, then a day later, Bryce, then later still, Zion. Wow, that was amazing stuff. A workout at elevation. I have no wind.
My first view of the Grand Canyon:
So, I've been working out a bit, but it's not enough.
My weight today: 186.3 Body Fat 23% Ugh
Goal weight: 167.0 Body Fat 18%
The trail on the Grand Canyon.
What is the plan? 6 meals a day. Eliminate processed food and sugars. A lot of load of water. B12, Calcium, and Multi Vitamin each day. Two workouts a day. Alcohol consumption eliminated. Sleep 8 hours a night.
I have to choose a program to begin. These are the options: P90X, Insanity, Hollywood Physique, TRX and Kettle Bells, Turbulence Training ...... oh, the decisions.
I'll start out with P90X. It's known and it works. I transformed my body with it before. Ok, that's the start. Going to do early morning workouts. Then have a post workout drink then breakfast.
Diet. If I burn about 500 cals working out each day, my nutritionist says I should burn eat 2900 cals a day. With a 500 cal deficit, to lose weight, that translates to 2400 cals. I want to eat as close to paleo as possible but found it to be tough. I'll start that again too.
