The fitness plan is not exactly off to a rip roaring start. I had the convenient excuse of our first winter weather this past week to keep me indoors and doing less than anticipated. Add to that the gym renovations that will conclude this Tuesday and I had the perfect storm of reasons to stay inside.
I did however eat somewhat above mediocre and did some extensive stretching and my numbers did improve slightly:
174.8 lbs
20.4 % body lard
After reading more about the diet and playing around with the "slow carb" diet from the book I am reading, I am a bit skeptical. It feels a lot like the Adkins diet. I don't doubt that huge up-ticks in protein intake, cutting out sugar, and cutting out/down processed carbs is a good idea, I'm just not sold on cutting them out completely. The jury is still out on that.
It is also pretty difficult to just start exercising a lot when everything else in your lifestyle stays the same. Everyone around you does the same stuff, eats the same stuff, and generally you just have to make the decision to make large changes to most of your free time. No easy task.
Next week should be good. Gym open. Weather slightly better, and 3 day work week. Next week I hope to drop below 20%.
