freck Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 HI HELLO GREETINGS Let's cut to the chase, shall we? ~~~THE CHALLENGE~~~ WHOLE 30 Yep, it began yesterday, so it goes through zero week, though not all of my goals do. It grade like so X/30 per challenge Track protein and calories here. This is important. I need this goal because apparently when I do not have it, things go horribly wrong. I spent about a month basically dirty bulking SO Whole 30 will also be a gentle cut. Whatever. Avg week calorie goal: 1300-1400 Protein goal: Not graded for zero week because I need time to figure out how to do it with Whole 30 better, but will be aiming for 95g+ at week 1. (After the whole 30 I'm adjusting protein up, but I didn't wanna rock the boat too much, especially with a cut happening). Grades like so X/1400 per week X/7 per week Keep lifting. I barely need this goal, I do it even when I don't want to when I'm not tracking so I think this is just branded on my soul now. 3-4x per week, basically per the program. Doing 3 right now since due to back rehab there's just less to do, but will be bumping it back to 4 eventually. Grade like X/3 per week Back Rehab Do the thing 2x a day, try try try I've been falling off the wagon since it feels pretty decent lately. Guys I drove 10 hours alone yesterday and my back only complained just a little during the driving, and not at all today. \o/ Also get 7k steps a day for the walking part of back rehab. X/14 X/7000 (avg over week) Write things Goal: One complete short story by end of challenge. No word limit, can be flash fiction if I want to go there (I never do). Ideastorm twice a week Write a little bit daily (no time or word limit I think they freak me out) X/2 X/7 Annnd that is all this go round. Momentum building time. 8 Quote Challenge Threads 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 BATTLE LOG (Current) MFP | Instagram Link to post

I like your nice straight forward yet to the point get shit done challenge. I was a fair bit concerned about the possibility of a big step back due to it, but there wasn't a way around it. It wouldn't have been significantly better stuck in the passenger seat if I had found someone to come with me, so I just sucked it up. I wasn't as close to my uncle as my siblings were (they are much older and spend time with them when they were young, where I did not), but I have some good memories of the guy and while he could be a callous dildo sometimes, he was also (probably secretly lol) the type of person who rescued too many animals and was intensely kind when it really mattered. so, he'll be missed and I'm glad I went, even if it was a giant pain. 2 Quote Challenge Threads 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 BATTLE LOG (Current) MFP | Instagram Link to post

freck Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 week 0.1 & 0.2 check ins Monday Whole 30 observed (at the expense of calories and protein) Embarrassed to track the calories here, but I said I would: 755 (I didn't log anything til I got home, and while I was hungry, I just assumed I was around 1200-1300) Protein: 33g No lifting this Monday Back rehab: I was in the car all day, so I was only able to do one cycle of ice Steps: No clue because my FitBit had died, but probably not enough Write things: No time Tuesday Whole 30 observed Cals: 1378 Protein: 87g (much better) Lifts: Volume bench & row day Bench Warm up 1x3 45 lbs 1x3 55 lbs 1x3 65 lbs 5x5 78 lbs T-Bar Row (chest supported) 5x5 55.5 lbs (assuming bar is 45 from here out) One-arm Standing Press 3x10 15 lbs Incline DB Fly 3x10 24 lbs (thanks whoever gave me this idea, it worked!) Cable tricep pushdown 3x9 43 lbs (dumbbell wedged in the weight thingie hack) Preacher db curls 3x10 24 lbs Not really trying to progress on curls and I'm adding reps but the 15 lb bells are still in the 4 rep range. Might suck it up and buy those magnets Urgan mentioned for this... So lifting weirdly unaffected yesterday by the poor eating choices (aka not doing it). Got lucky. Back rehab: only one set of the PT, it's tougher when I go to the office, need a better system Steps: over 10k, without really trying--this is easier at the office Write things: was just insanely busy, so no Whole 30: 2/30 Cals: 1067 (should tick into an acceptable zone by week's end) Protein: 1/7 Lifts: 1/3 Back rehab: 1/14 Steps: ????/7000 (may just average this over 6 days since I just don't have any numbers for Monday) Imagine things: 0/2 Write things: 0/7 Quote Challenge Threads 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 BATTLE LOG (Current) MFP | Instagram Link to post

I know your eating can affect your lifts but how does it differ between normal eating and a whole30? Dunno yet! I might have an answer for this by the end maybe, but I'm also cutting so I definitely don't expect to progress as quickly. Calories are king when it comes to lifting power, so I would expect any affect it had on lifting to be utterly outweighed and masked entirely by the cut. I can say (click for TMI) Spoiler It's good for the poops 5 Quote Challenge Threads 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 BATTLE LOG (Current) MFP | Instagram Link to post
