Going into this week I knew it was going to be kind of challenging because I was coming back from a friends house where I had not eaten as well as I should have. Which unfortunately meant that I was going to have eat even cleaner throughout the whole week to make sure and maintain a low body fat percentage. After my fourth reading I have discovered that I am very sensitive to carbs and dairy products therefore I am trying my best to consume the minimal amount of these things as possible. I am trying my best only to eat complex carbs like non starchy vegetables such as leafy greens, broclaily, cabbage, and cauliflower. During my workouts I feel very good. I can workout out longer and do more reps than I have been able to do in the past. It has been very nice outside for the past week so I have had the opportunity to work outside and I have taken full advantage of that. All though during the beginning of winter and the beginning of spring my allergies start to pick and get really bad not allowing me to be able to run as well outside. I found that my autatimal time to work out is eight to nine so I have changed the time that I go to sleep and get up in the morning to enhance my energy, mood and appetite. According to Dr. Matthew Walker a sleep expert adolescence sleep patterns for optimal health are a couple hours later than that of adults and then wake time is a couple hours later as well. Altering these patterns has created the optimal time for me to workout and I am actually tired once I go to sleep and not just going to sleep just because. This along with changing the way I eat has definitely made positive impacts on the way I workout and the way I feel. Due to the fact that I did not eat well last weekend my fat percentage read the same as last week as well and weight and muscle percentage. The last few weekends in a row I have not eaten as I should have this weekend however I was at home so I did eat accordingly and I will continue to this week so it should be pretty productive if all goes as planned.

Griffin 2/22/21This is my first blog entry for my genius hour project . I am getting together my food plans. All of my workouts planned, also which days I will be working out and what will be working out for that day. Also which days I will be running and/or biking. As well as planning out when and how many times I will be measuring my body composition. My food schedule will also cycle throughout the course of time but all sticking to low carbohydrates modest to high fat and moderate protein. I think I will be able to achieve these macros through modified ketogenic or paleo type diet types. I am also taking a high quality multivitamin-mineral and Omega. Keeping a schedule of daily work outs mixing Cardio and resistance training with flexibility sessions. I do not like the flexibility part but I will try to get that in at least one to two times per week. ArchivesCategories |
