mcarthey's Journal, 24 September 2013

Out of my general blaise funk and working out 3x/week lifting heavy using the Starting Strength program. Up at 5am and glad to get the workout done. My muscles are feeling more "full" lately and I'm noticing changes. I'm focused on trying to keep my calories up and am taking part in Jillian Michaels DietBet over the next month. It will be interesting to try and walk the line between weight loss and muscle gain. A fine line to be sure. I'm following the P90X fat shredder diet of 50/30/20 (protein, carbs, fat) over the period. Holy crap it's more difficult than I thought to hit those numbers. Who knew that I was taking in so much fat before and so little protein? Heh. Always experimenting but this next month will certainly be telling. I'd love to be able to see a hint of my abs considering the work I'm putting in.
I also have been swimming again 2x/week preparing for a sprint-triathlon next year and the Tough Mudder (not that you really "swim" here). I'm up to 1000 yards in about 24 minutes. I'll keep that distance for the time being until I can increase my speed to, at least, 20 minutes. I'll re-evaluate at that time.
Have a great week all!
