RaginCajun's Daily Log

[RaginCajun]

Impaled my right palm yesterday in the woods, right under my thumb. Got a lil woozy when I saw meat hanging out. No MTB riding for a while or gripping, ugh

[RaginCajun]

hand is feeling somewhat better today. it is still sore and stiff but not as bad as it could have been

got a new fitbit in, demolished my other one. now i have the charge HR, so will be paying attention to my HR and may do some HR training on my rode bike.

i will be changing some things up in regards to diet, going to do a more kept/low carb style of eating. its time for a little change so we will see how the body reacts. i quasi-tried it before but didn't put enough effort into it. will be shooting for no more than 20-30 net carbs a day. i need to cut down on the amount of sweetners i use as well, so this should help some. i don't use much but prob need to cut down on them. this has been mentioned in this thread numerous times, but i think i am insulin resistant so this should help with that. i am going to be as disciplined as possible and taking the more Wild diet approach so to say.

going to up my intensity on my training, letting my body be my guide. my legs still are not 100% so going to go as far as they let me. i think that my bike trainer will help with this and try not to walk/jog as much. i will also attempt more yoga and do it on my own. i find i work better in group yoga as i get bored pretty easy (hot chicks in yoga pants all over make me focus better, hehe!)

[RaginCajun]

Macros for the day

A lil too much protein for keto but I can cut some out

Keep taking care of yourself, Cajun.

Keep taking care of yourself, Cajun. SM

Thanks darling, I'm trying my hardest!

Just can't seem to ever catch a damn break or have something go positive my way. It's bound to switch to the good, just wondering when!

Killed it this AM!

Downed some pre-workout no sugar mix, then, 30 minutes of fasted cardio on my bike trainer in the humid hot garage. I was sweating like a stuck pig and still trying to cool down now. With my newer Fitbit, I can track heart rate so going to be paying attention to it more. I only got it up to 145 this AM but stayed in that zone for about 20 minutes. I will do some interval training on the bike to get the HR up to a higher level. Maybe this will be my new motivation

Sweet mate. I bough the Mrs a Fitbit Surge at christmas, she loved it!
Keep up the work, I hate cardio, but I know its a necessity I need to include again. Ive an expensive Spin bike in my dads garage. I should probably go steal it back!

i like cardio, my body/legs at the moment do not

i like the fitbit, it gives you a pretty close estimate of how many calories you are burning, especially with the heart rate function. i know it is not 100% accurate but its pretty damn close.

grab that spin bike!

[RaginCajun]

25 minutes on the bike trainer in the hot humid garage, sweated like a madman

Quite jealous. Ive just no room at home to put my spin bike, and no garage. Two young kids and a stay at home wife, my house is full of crap!

Sounds like you're doing good though RC

Pretty much following the cyclic keto diet for now to switch some things up!

Used to hate cardio, started CrossFit and now I love it. Feels weird loving it :-)

That's awesome to hear! It's a feeling almost like a drug

I really don't have the money at the moment to join a gym so doing what I can. Need to get some kettlebells for the house!

Or maybe make my own

[RaginCajun]

From the carb load last night, my weight went up almost 6 pounds, from 178 to 183

Today is last day for carbs then back to low carb/keto tomorrow

[RaginCajun]

Quick 30 minute workout, went to a buds gym across town. Didn't really 'have' it today

Did 30 minutes of cardio

[RaginCajun]

45 minutes of cardio

[RaginCajun]

40 minutes of fasted cardio, 2.5 miles, HR avg 109, give or take right at 400 cals burned (via Fitbit)

[RaginCajun]

46 minutes of cardio

Still need to step it up, legs are holding me back!

[RaginCajun]

Well, not sure if my body does well on low carb, which I thought it would. Energy wise, I feel good, no problem there. Seems I just can't lose any weight. Weighted in at 183lbs, which is pretty much where I have been for quite a while. Was thinking I would be lower with the water loss from the low carb but nada. I'm going to keep it up and see what happens.

I know I need to work harder and trying to find/make the time to drive across town to go to the gym. It's not close to my house but it is free

[RaginCajun]

Destroyed my back in gym! I made the trek across town

Felt great, going to be sore

[RaginCajun]

37 minutes of cardio

[RaginCajun]

Definitely feeling that back workout from yesterday. Feels good to be sore! I can really feel it in my upper back, which I was targeting the most with rows. I'm weak in that area, need those muscles to stand out more and strengthen.

Off for some fasted cardio

[RaginCajun]

25 minutes of fasted cardio

Going help move some boxes so will get some more fasted cardio in

[RaginCajun]

Moved boxes, 3 flights of stairs

Heading for some BBQ

Carb load still on!

[RaginCajun]

30 more minutes of cardio, cut the grass in the heat

[bethdoth]

Keep at it, you are very consistent. I have a hard time with different types of diets ie...keto and carb cycling. I am a creature of habit and could eat the same exact foods almost everyday.

Bingo.

[krugerr]

As stated above brother, consistency is the key here. Keep at it and the mirror will reward you with steady changes.
