W6D1

I officially quit juicing last week.  I did the full 60 days.

Saturday I weighed in for the last time during the juicing weeks.  My weight hit a low of 260.8.  I was ecstatic that was a good start to the rest of the work I need to do.  24+ pounds in 60ish days and more than 30 pounds in the last year (so far).  I celebrated with waffles and bacon for breakfast; then dinner was a quesadilla and some shrimp parmesan on penne pasta.

Today I begin week 6 of workouts.  I'm changing up my workouts a bit.  I want to see what I can do daily when I push myself.  While juicing I was running out of energy about half way through the longer 60-90 minute workouts so I'd get done with the 30-45 min workout and be exhausted.

Also starting today I'm adjusting my diet to not be so juice centric and instead focus on solids.  Mostly, that means instead of juicing 6x a day I'll be eating many of the same solid foods to achieve the same goals.  Examples are eggs, bacon, and an apple for breakfast; midmorning apple and veggie protein with BCAAS; lunch swai and probably carrots; midafternoon apple and coconut water; and dinner swai or cod an ounce of cheese and a cup of baked cauliflower.

I took about 3 minutes between the upper body workouts and clocked in at 50 minutes today.  I still want to do a 2nd PullUp and Abs workout and then do 2-5 mins each of jump rope and jumping jacks.

I didn't run out of energy today until the very end, but my arms feel like jello.  I know I would "like" to do a workout first thing in the morning in a fasted state, but I'm not sure I can get my body to comply with getting out of bed at 7.  We'll have to see.  That would get my noon workout out of the way and free up that time to do a little extra workout or work on other stuff and not be stressed about not getting my workout done during work hours.  It would also free up time that I could meet others for an occasional lunch.

W6J3 - W2D3

Today I tried a variation on my normal routine.  I made my juices for the day, had the first, then coconut water, then about 10-10:20 I decided to have the protein and amino acids.  Then at 12:20 I started my workout.  I noticed after the first workout I was about out of energy.  I then remembered that yesterday I had my juice before working out.  So tomorrow I'll do about the same thing with protein and amino acids, then have the juice about 11:30.  That should give me enough energy to push through.

Today was the Day 2 workout - Feel Good Full Body TRX Workout (Lower).  I did 2 sets with some difficulty.

Again, before I started I attempted a regular pullup with bar - I pulled myself up about a half inch to an inch... so another foot and I'll be to the top of my head.  I was able to hold myself up slightly longer than yesterday.

In between my two sets today I used the parallettes to push myself up and hold myself in a plank (with my heels on the floor).

I'm wondering if I should start off my day with 50 jumping jacks and 50 jump ropes and 3 sets of lifting and holding on the parallettes.  I'll think of and come up with a routine I can do 2x a day or something simple I can do for a few minutes every hour; maybe some planks, push ups, reverse planks, and attempt to do some planches, or even some inverted pushups (like with the TRX).

Abducted Lunge (12-25 each leg) - 12 each leg both sets
Jumping Jacks (50) - 50 both sets
Lunge (12-25 each leg) - 12 each leg both sets
Jump Rope (50) - 50 both sets
Balance Lunge (12-25 each leg) - 12 each leg both sets

I didn't time the first set, but the 2nd set took 7:54:36

I felt wiped after 12 each leg.  I'll increase that over time.

W5J5 - W1D4

This morning I woke up again with some vertigo.  I've had several bouts of vertigo during the day - including right now (post workout).  My wife has been sick for 3 days and I hope that I don't have what she's got, but we'll see.

Todays circuit is the upper circuit of the Feel Good Full Body TRX Workout.

Chest press outside grip - 25 L2 each set
Jumping Jackgs - 50 each set
Triceps Overhead Extension - 25 L2 each set
Jump Ropes - 50 each set
Mid Back Row - 25 each set
High Knees - 1 min each set
Bicep Curl - 25 each set

I skipped the 1 min sprints.

I don't feel really well.  I think I may have picked up the flu from my wife.
