Here Fishy Fishy...


Hopefully after work and workout today, I will get to hit the pond for a little relaxation. Nothing beats a couple of hours of solid fishing...well, maybe some things. I am going to try to go Teal hunting in the morning....hurray for guns and hunting.
Ahywho, I am working on a 17 hour fast today. Through Fitday.com I have been getting around 60-65% Fats, 30-35% Protein, & 5-10% Carbs and aywhere between 2900-3500 calories. I have been tracking that for the last couple of weeks or so and belly fat seems to be creeping up. I think I'm going to switch this up a little and go for a 50:40:10 combination and cut down the total number of calories to around 2400-2500. It's a little more manageable in a 5-8 hour feeding window, not that I don't like to feel miserable all the time. So we will see how that goes for a couple weeks. I am still trying to find the right combination. Guess I will just be a little bit warmer come winter.
On to the workout for today:
500m warmup row:
Back lever progressions (This is my hopper movement for now and will be until I can hold a full back lever for 10 secs. - so far I have a tuck b-lever for 5 or so secs after 1.5 weeks of practicing. It's coming along nicely)
Got up to 8 seconds +...maybe 10. It was hard to count accuratley when your head feels like its gonna pop.

First time for everything

I have finally done it. Finally broke down and created a site of my own, along with every other person in this world. We will see how it goes. I will be posting random thoughts, ideas, feelings, training logs, basically anything I want to. Maybe a picture every now and again too. This is also a test to see how long it will last, as I may not post everyday but trianing days will always be posted. Let's do it...

Felt pretty good today. Workout was 9 hours into my fast. I am gonna push the fast to 20 hours today. This will be the longest one thus far. Fasting seems to give me more energy throughout the day, so it's been a definite plus. I haven't seen any body comp. changes yet, but its still new so I will report more on that later.
Update: Broke fast at 19.5 hours. Had good energy levels afterwards.
