I came back in with the goal of not actually eating so much cheese and crackers when I’m after a late night snack. Fail.
So far, of the two nights I’ve been in, I have had cheese both. Admittedly less than I had been having on previous swings (and in saying that, it wasn’t huge – like less than 100g) but still having some. Tonight I headed for the mess right after finishing in the gym, ate a small dinner and got my crib. No cheese, although it did look mighty tempting as I was chopping melon.
I figure that I’m not doing something right. Yes, I do not train on my time off, but I do try to stay relatively active. I’m actually gettig a bit sick of my up and down-ness in terms of training. Achieving consistency is a pain in the fucking arse.
Anyway, no cheese tonight, that’s a small step towards a big goal. The idea behind going to the mess right after the gym was 1. my appetite is significantly lower than if I had of weighted, 2. I worked out on an empty stomach and did weights, so after burn will easily take care of the ‘don’t eat for an hour after working out’ theory and 3. to remind myself that I had just worked off what I put in last night. I think it worked. Fish (that looked crap and tasted rubbery) and one small rib – no fat either. With carrots and broccoli. Shit vegies tonight. Really shit.
Workout
DB Squat @ 12.5 / Inverted Row
DB Bench 3 @ 17.5, 2 @ 15 / Standing Cable Row (rope) @ 54kg
DB Clean & Press @ 12.5
Plate push press @ 15 / Burpees
Doing full burpees now, and finding them easier. I’m still working out without a heart rate monitor, and finding it ok. Less distraction, particularly when the fucking thing isn’t working. I guess the only down side is I don’t know, tangibly when I’m improving – although I can see it in performance, I would like to be able to say, without question, I’m doing the same work for less effort, or more work for the same effort.
