Sept 29th: Training Journal Series

Today was a sample of what we're going to be doing on this new program with HPN:

Deadlift: 265-3, 305-3, 365-8. That was a BRUTAL set of deadlifts. Strapless, belt-less. Good times

T-Bar Rows (used rope as handle)-5x10 with 75lbs. Killed the grip. Felt awesome

Kettlebell Clean (32kg)3x10 (definitely move up in weight next time. Focus on form and higher reps

Bulgarian Split Squat (16kgs)-3x10. God I hate these. Love the way I feel after though.

Post Workout Meal: 10 oz ground beef, 10 oz sweet potato, 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate almond milk

I used the P(3) before the workout and then BCAAs during (10g). My weight is going up which is good because my pant size is going down. Definitely building muscle which wasn't the main goal before, but has changed. One thing that is holding me back is my late night eating every other night or so. It's amazing what a few handfuls of nuts, hummus, whatever adds up to calorie-wise. It's put me at a standstill and frustrates me so here's my plan:

21 Day Challenge. Anytime I have a habit I want to break I do a personal "21 Day Challenge," I document 21 days of doing or not doing something until the desired result has been achieved. In this case, late night snacking and any superfluous foods (not a meal) being taken in is being eliminated. If it's not a meal, I don't eat it. No handful of nuts. Not an extra piece of cheese. This applies to cooking dinner as well. If I'm not sitting at the table, I don't eat it. Simple as that!

I will then post everyday that I don't do it. 1,2,3,4, etc until I hit 21. At which point that will be 21 straight days that I did not eat late at night and unplanned meal. I recommend you try this for anything you want to break your self of or start up. Works every time because it makes you conscious of it. Then it becomes habit and the you no longer have to worry about it because it's been in ingrained in you. Devilishly simple:)
