Lesson on Day 1 = I’m doing it all wrong
Today begins my journey. So far, I’ve learned I’m doing it all wrong! Well, not everything, but some things. Here’s what I’ve learned:
I need to run shorter distance races, because the longer the distance the more the body eats its muscle. This isn’t optimum for weight building. So, I’m glad I didn’t pay for the 10-miler yet and I’ll look to do 5-mile races instead.
I need to have about .75g per lb of body weight in carbs & protein, 30% fat. Also, my friend suggested taking in more carbs earlier in the day and finishing off with protein (with protein still being evenly spread throughout the day). I had a lot of protein for breakfast and few carbs in the form of a banana.
Today I’m going to come up with various meal plans to get myself into the right groove. I hate keeping track of food, so if I can come up with some solid meal plans, I can stick with those and hope to skip the food journal. I will need to keep a log of measurements, weight and also of my workouts. I’ve already got a few weeks covered of how I’m going to workout.
Lessons are always there to be learned. I’m sure I’ll learn A LOT more throughout this journey. Right now though, I need some more water!
