RaginCajun's Daily Log

Meh, did chest , shoulders, and tris. Really didn't feel like I had any energy throughout my workout, just feel/felt dull. Maybe I need more rest?

maybe you didn't enough carbs?

[RaginCajun]

maybe you didn't enough carbs?

possibly, net carbs has been pretty low, maybe having 30-50 a day. i did have some carbs on wednesday night, had 3 beers and few chips after hitting golf balls.

yikes that's really low. I never go below 200

i def feel sluggish today, even after eating a whole footlong and baked chips.

I hope they were lite beers and diet fat free chips! LOL Man that is not going to help you trim BF! I hate it but to be lean for life, it's a lifestyle that typically is not a whole lot of fun. But, I guess moderation is the key. But what I find is that most of us have some form of addiction, whether it's drinking, smoking, over eating, sexual, or just working out. I am trying to convert my drinking addiction and socializing to one of 2.5-3 hours a day in the gym and getting healthy. I can socialize at the gym after my workout, they have a cafe style area and make protein shakes, coffee, etc... and a lot of people do hang out after they workout.

haha, def not light beer!

i don't drink like i did only a few years ago, maybe once/twice a week if that.

i have been adding a little more cardio in each week and with the weather getting nice, i will only increase! just hoping my knots in my legs do not get any worse!

[RaginCajun]

Killed the gym earlier this morning, had sweat dripping off of me. My new thing is trying to get good at jumping rope, it really got my HR up fast!

[RaginCajun]

Back and bis done HIT style

My arms were shaking

[RaginCajun]

My valentine got me a Fitbit so I went test it out. Did a 1.7 mile walk, took 30 minutes.

I think this will help me better gauge how many cals I am actually burning throughout the day.

Haha!!!

[RaginCajun]

Legs are toast, smoked'em!

Motivation this AM was a really gorgeous blonde doing squats! She has a rocking body and I caught her looking, and I made sure she saw me looking.

[RaginCajun]

Got to the gym this morning, and fire trucks were everywhere! Someone must have seen me coming! Heading back home to set up the bike trainer and do some cardio.

Oh yeah, Happy Mardi Gras everyone! Lent starts tomorrow so time for me to give up something or dedicate myself to something. I have until tomorrow to decide, hmmmmmmm.......

[RaginCajun]

32 minutes fasted on my bike trainer

[RaginCajun]

i have been tracking my sleep with the fitbit charge. looks like i slept better last night, only was restless for about 12 minutes (up 8 times). i did get up to pee around 2AM. also, i tracked everything i put in my pie hole and looks like i have been pretty much eating at maintenance for the past few months, hence, no real change in weight. today, i looked better in the mirror, muscles looked bigger and more defined. i will be cutting back some on cals (only had one breakfast wrap instead of my usual two) and see where that will take me. the knots in my legs are also getting somewhat better, thinking about going in for a massage soon to see if they can take it a lil further. stay tuned.............

[RaginCajun]

Feel like dog ass today. Did not sleep well at all, had trouble breathing with the heater on and when I turned it off, the cold air dried me out. I think I need to buy a humidifier because this happens every time the weather gets cold.

Here was my sleep pattern from last night. I put my fitbit on the sensitive setting, so i was expecting to see more restlessness.

[RaginCajun]

sleep pattern was very much like the one above from last night, sucks! still can't breathe!

i planned to fast today for 16 hours, may start doing IF again, or maybe a few times a week. bio-active suggested changing things up, so i feel that the change will help out. i weighed in today at 185lbs so down a pound.

new pedals and shoes are ready to be broken in on my road bike. still need to clean it and get it ready to ride this spring. i have new tires and grips to put on, so may try to do that this weekend. i also need to clean my mountain bike as well, it is dusty!

on another note, kind of stressed out about work. the oil and gas industry is very shaky right now so that could be contributed to bad sleeping.

[RaginCajun]

Did over 5 miles of walking yesterday in the woods.

Heading to the gym shortly, gonna check out the yoga class at 1230.

are you making gains on those macros?

[RaginCajun]

are you making gains on those macros?

I was down a pound this morning and two pounds in the past week. Gonna weigh in again in the morning. I ate IF style this week so far, 16 hour fast, 8 hour eating window. Crazy but I have not have the hunger pangs like I did in the past when fasting. Last time I ran an IF style, the hunger pangs were insane and took a few weeks to subside.

I have been training more and will be hitting it hard tomorrow morning, going to see how my energy levels are but they have been pretty good this week!

weighed in today at 183 lbs, pretty good week. i do feel a little dehydrated so i am thinking most is water.

nonetheless, it is progress.

my muscles are def fatigued from yesterday's workout so slept in this AM. i may hit the gym later on this evening depending on how i am feeling, may just ride my bike on the trainer. we shall see!

heading out tomorrow morning to my bud's place to go hunt some hogs at night. i picked up a night vision scope from a friend, so it should be interesting! bringing my bow to practice as well so i will be active the entire time, except when sitting waiting on dinner!

[RaginCajun]

Foamed rolled these knotted up legs and hit the hot tub. Got a chicka coming over tonight to give me a massage and perform bedroom gymnastics

[Bio-Active]

Nice!

I have never watched any of those shows.

[RaginCajun]

slept in this morning, body really needed it. weighted in at 183.8 lbs this morning. i was figuring it to be higher after the BBQ chicken pizza i ate. it was from wholefoods, and i ate all but one slice so was expecting the weight to be higher. i am betting it will be higher tomorrow from the carbs and water i will retain from it, we shall see. planing on hitting my bike trainer later tonight for an interval workout.
