This week I was stuck in a rut. The only thing that was going my way was my weight has been steadily decreasing at the correct rate other than that nothing has been going the way that it should. My muscle mass has been on a decline since week five. My body fat percentage has been fluctuating but mostly rising for the most part. I have been working out consistently without breaking my routine as surprising as that is. I felt decent and my workouts felt good. I even increased the intensity of my workouts with hopes that it would increase my muscle mass and burn more fat. Everything that I have been doing does not seem to be working. It has been a ruff start for the carnivore's diet. I have not been super strict with it. I am really hoping that next week I am able to stick with it and get more strict about only eating meat. I don't want to create a plain that I can only stick to for a month or so. My goal is to try and find a plain that I am going to be able to stick to for ever or for however long is necessary. Eating only meat is a lot harder than I originally thought that it was going to be. I would have to say that lunch is probably the hardest only because there are so many other things you can eat for lunch and I personally think dinner is the easiest. Due to the pollen levels my allergies have been horrendous I have to use a nasal irrigation system daily to keep my congestion to a minimum as well as allergy shots. Because of the pollen being so bad I have not been doing as much running or biking. I have been doing some kayaking though to change up my exercise methods and keep everything fresh. Next week will be more limited as to what I will eat and getting closer to an all meat diet, gradually working towards being one hundred percent meat should be more beneficial than just jumping in and limit my room for failure.

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 |
