I have been struggling with keeping to my training schedule and when that happens, my attempts at eating clean goes to pot. Ok maybe it could be worse hey, I could've been addicted to that POT. Remember I struggled for two weeks with a tummy bug, well last week I managed to get in my weight training workouts but slipped up on my cardio. What makes matters worse is that I didn't stick to my eating plan either. I don't like calling it a diet because most people think out it as a restricting yourself. I guess to a certain extent you are but if is controlling your intake of foods that cause your body harm a restriction or a necessity?
It all comes down to priorities. Some good news is that health foods do eventually start to taste good and you do start to love the pain you put yourself through during your workouts. For this week I have done 2 weight training workouts so far but no cardio. Tonight (Friday) I am looking forward to doing my upper body workout because I tweaked my training sessions to ensure that I continually hit that level that stimulates muscle growth. I will post that over the weekend. Planning to have a good cardio session tomorrow morning.
Reading Tom Venuto's Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle. Is it really possible to pick up lean muscle and strip off the fat at the same time. I wonder? Will let you know what I have read and applied from this new info. Also got myself a copy of Dan Benardot's Advanced athletes nutrition. First chapter has me hooked. learnt about fuelling my body before, during and after workouts and how unnecessary supplement powders are. Will be saving loads of money with this titbit of info.
