Day 59 - wisdom of the bands 2

2 - On average we eat approximately twice as much (bad) fat as we should. Become aware of how much you are actually eating each day; calories from fat should not exceed 20 30% of your caloric intake each day.

Well we have really addressed this. Week one - eat half of what you normally would. The second thing that has helped me both during PCP and when I have been doing a better job feeding myself. There is a power in writing it down. I personally don't think that fat makes you fat. But, what I have embraced from PCP in that nutrition matters and you get more nutrients by eating real food and more colors. I really like the colors part.

Today was OK. I got really busy and did not get the afternoon snack until too late. So I smashed the snack and dinner together. I know that is not the idea. But I am trying not to skip and I don't like eating late at night. Doing the best I can.

I focused on not resting as much during the workout today. I have been focusing on trying to get all the reps in. When I hurry up I fail sooner. Maybe that is good. If I combine Day 59 and 60 emails then that seems like a good thing. I must admit that I have enjoyed the working out and am sure I have not rushed too much. Frankly, I have been so happy that that everything is working so well I was hesitant to RED LINE. Didn't want to blow a gasket.

Just remebered - I am running out of belts - what a great problem

Go Team Go!

  2. Great thing about exercising with Patrick once a week is that he REALLY keeps the pace moving... often knock out the whole workout in under 45 minutes, and I am just crushed afterwards. I try to keep that pace up on my own, but it's much easier with Drill Sergeant Patrick calling the shots!

  3. Don't blow that gasket! The finish line is in sight BUT we still have to work those reps and keep the times constant. We still have so much time left to get PEAK. 30 days is a lot!
