I have had a rough week. I upped my calories and started eating some more carbs than I normally would about two weeks ago. I saw a good jump in my strength training immediately after, but the old plague of inflammation in my hands and knees came back right along with the carbs. To make matters worse, I strained my groin Tuesday. I did 200# farmer carry for about 100 steps total Monday, then ran three 8-minute runs Tuesday evening. The last lap of that last run was quite painful :(
Combine the skipped workouts and the increased calories and carbs, and I gained about 7 pounds this week!
I'm back to the gym for strength training today, and my groin doesn't hurt anymore. No more farmer carry until I'm done with the C25K running class -- it's just too much on my legs and hips. I'll replace the farmer carry with curls and triceps pushdowns. I'm also going back full Keto and splitting the difference between my initial calorie deficit and my more recent one.
Gotta drop these extra pounds (might be water and carb bloat, but I've noticed my gut sticks out more than it did last week) -- so I'm back at it, and back at it hard!
