Last Minute Training for 3M

I’m an idiot. The 3M Half Marathon is right around the corner and I have barely trained. That’s not entirely true, I just haven’t trained much in the last few weeks. I was doing a really good job about keeping up with it for the first 2 months or so, running 3 times a week,…

Back to Training

After taking several weeks off from training, I now have just 3 weeks to prepare for my upcoming half marathon. Dammit. I didn’t mean to take that long off and now I’m in terrible shape again! It’s just so easy to keep being lazy when the alternative is harder than chilling on the couch. Anyway,…

Vegan RXBar Recipe

I’m working on a vegan RX Bar recipe based almost completely on the packaging. I looked up the average protein per egg white (the RX Bar has the equivalent of 3 egg whites) to determine how much pea protein and sprouted brown rice protein to replace it with so that each bar has about 10g…

Sprints!

I finally decided that today was the day to knock out some sprints. I’ve pretty much just been running/jogging longer distances of 3-5 miles, but I know I need to develop those twitch fibers. So I rolled out of bed at about 9 am, laced up my trail shoes and jogged down to the public…

Today’s Workout

I’m trying to follow the exercise philosophy from Tim Ferris’ book The 4-Hour Body. Do enough to trigger growth, and go home. I’ve been off the supplements for a while now because they were starting to upset my stomach and I wasn’t seeing results. It’s like that the reason for the lack of results is…

Slow Carb Diet – Day whatever

I mostly fell off the Slow Carb wagon. I still try to eat pretty much as the diet describes when it’s convenient, which usually amounts to 1 meal per day. Still staying away from most white foods, but a double meat hamburger without fries when I don’t really have time for anything but drive thru…

Slow Carb Diet – Day 10

165.8 lbs / 17.7% bf / 62.8% water I guess this is just my body composition. Not really seeing much change. I feel like I’ve been sticking to the plan pretty well. I could probably be more consistent with the exercises, but still. Breakfast AGG+GB5 2 eggs cabbage and onions wasn’t really hungry, didn’t eat…

Slow Carb Diet – Day 9

164.6 lbs / 17.6% bf / 62.9% water This is the first real positive change I’ve seen. Over a pound since yesterday and .3% body fat. I guess I need to get my kettle bell or build the T-Bar thing. Breakfast 5:30 AGG+BG5 2 eggs 3 oz spinach 1/2 cup lentils 12 oz coffee+coco+van+cin water…

Slow Carb Diet – Day 8

165.8 lbs / 17.9% BF / 62.6% water Still no change in numbers. I feel like my body is changing, but that could just be wishful mirror gazing. It’s only day 2 on PAGG. It probably takes a few days for it to start doing it’s thing. I’m still working my way through the book….

Slow Carb Diet – Day 7

9:00 am – 165.6 lbs / 17.7% BF / 62.8% water lb:13 + rb:13 + c:39 + w:35 + h:36 + lt:20 + rt:20 = 176 total inches Finally took body measurements. Now I can see if that changes since nothing else is. I was surprised to discover that I was a little sore from…
