This week was not quite as productive as I had imagined that it would be. I was honestly quite disappointed. I started off the week great with working out and sticking to the same way of eating (low carb, higher protein and fat) but was drowned in school work and burnt out by the end of the day leaving no time to work out. I have been trying to workout as much as possible but with such a heavy workload it ends up being like ten thirty or eleven o'clock by the time that I get finished and get a chance to work out. Because of this I have not made as much progress this week as I have in past weeks unfortunately. I am still keeping my end goal in mind to keep me going and driving me forward. I'm going to use this failure as fuel to drive me into next week to do better. I am learning that it's about the long game here, experimenting and refining my program and way of eating to achieve my health and fitness goals. The pillars I have been working on so far are only going to get me so far. Nutrition and movement are of course pivotal but I also know that my stress will keep me down and interfere with sleep. They all seem connected. If I am able to schedule in workouts regularly it motivates me to eat healthier and then I sleep better too. I have noticed a difference in my sleeping lately in a positive manner. Eating earlier is also better, I guess then my digesting gets done so my brain can focus on sleeping. I know there are a lot of trackers out there and I am thinking about investigating a few of them to see if I think they would be of any benefit to me. I kind of like not being connected to something all the time though and think about what the long term effects of these things may be on my health. For now I may just start tracking my heart rate before and after workouts or something.

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 |
