Blaaah just woke up and I have to do a 12 today.  I will be walking again at work for my rounds so the mileage will go up.

Just ate my eggs, will have a protein shake before work but I'll eat at the party at work today and try to stay clean.

Tomorrow I have a couple episodes of Bones to watch while I'm on the bike so that'll make for some long distances

20 mile bike ride, probably a 18mph pace, not too bad.

Up to 6k steps so far today, I want to just keep at it cuz i am putting on weight with the reduction in running and my appetite for some reason came back but im trying haha 

This morning i just had 2 bfast burritos, some chocolate milk and a 80 gram protein shake and i bought 1/2lb of turkey for tonight. 

Before my first round I was at 2041 steps and afterwards was 6109, going to head out to do another patrol thats shorter but should be around 8k steps afterwards with 2 more after that or 3 more idk.

Getting the cravings uggh, for some reason it's for the Mac n cheetos at bk and yet I haven't even had then yet.

I'm gonna man up and not stop though, since I kinda fell it seems like I need to go cold turkey again basically at night.  I'm typically fine during the day but lately I'm just hungry AF at night.

Tomorrow ima try to run 2 miles with a 10 minute stretch of the calves and hammies beforehand with a 5 min walk.  Also do another 20 mile bike ride.  If the gym had wifi and a comfortable seat on the bike I'd probably do 50 miles or so.

I kinda wanna hit some weights also, just feeling like a wuss.

I'm going to plan out my grocery shopping at the gym probably so I have a plan when I get there.

Definitely will stock up on
Meat, veggies, rice cakes, fat source along with some way I can turn the meat and veggies and what not into a meal that tastes like a cheat meal but isnt.  Adarqs stir fry looks good but if you buy it by the bag in the store the macros tend to be shitty.  I'd like to get some shrimp and mushrooms...omnomnomnom idk I'll figure it out.

Idk how buy I lost weight.

I ran 2 miles and my achilles acted up, tried to bike but the only one available was like a recliner type not an upright so that put pressure on my achilles also.

I bought some ibuprofen, groceries, cold pack and ankle support

Going to go home and get my breakfast in and order more brotein cuz i have maybe a week's worth left.

Uggh im so full

1 complete cookie
Ill put it into my S health and calculate the macros even though i kind of know already

1041 calories
Carbs: 50
Fat: 63

looking at a 2300 or so day with low carb/ high fat and higher protein

The Lenny & Larry cookie is actually vegan and still tastes amazing.  Ordered 12 more along with brotein and thermoxyn.

Jogged 2 miles at 6mph, ache came back towards the end.  Once I'm done with the fitness tests I'll back off of running and just bike for awhile until it gets better.

I also biked 9 miles.

Diet today is going to consist of steak, chicken, kiwi, turkey and peanuts...maybe a rice cake.

I think 2 mile runs are best, I did 6mph today and will go up by .2 each day, bike on the weekend and next week do the same.  Next Friday I have a fitness test for a county I really don't want but that one is easy, I think it's a 100m sprint in less than 19 seconds.

I'll just watch my diet this and next week and hope I don't tear anything.

Food Log

Watching Clinton Cash, will give a review of it later

Quest bar x1
Peanutsx2-3 servings
1 steak
5 eggs
2 kiwi
1x2 serving protein shake
Will have another serving or 2 of peanuts and maybe 8oz of turkey with 2 slices of cheese just for flavor purposes, eating that much turkey deli meat alone kind of sucks.  Will input it into my Shealth app to find out the damage for the day.

Total Calories
2260 - 2400 depending on the measurements

Carb: 92.4
Fat: 110.1
Protein: 232.5

Not a bad ratio, the protein is definitely there, the fat and carbs seem to be fine considering they are about even but I'd rather see the fat higher and the carb lower.

lol yeah I haven't started swimming yet, I wont do a triathlon until next summer.  Realistically I want to actually be in triathlon shape before I do one.  It looks like I am on track though to get into the 260s by the test but I dont know if my cardio is getting better or worse.  At 6.2mph its a 9:40 pace and I kept it for 2 miles...I was breathing well not too hard but I had a good sweat going but on my other runs in the past outside it'd be something like low 9s or high 8s but each mile after would jump up by minutes instead of being constant.

Tomorrow is a 6.4mph pace day and my best so far as far as speed wise is 7.2 then random speeds afterwards for 1.5 miles so if I can get into 7.2+ for 2 miles then i know I will be good to do anything.

Also, today I did everything the same(same ibuprofen, shoes etc etc) except I didn't stretch before I ran and yet I didn't feel any aches during or after my run.  I stretched it afterwards and my calves were actually kinda stretched out already so idk if the run did it or just an accumulation of stretching I've been doing.

One of the things I am going to start doing are sit ups every day.  I have to do 37 in a minute I believe and in HS I did like 50s or 60s in a minute but with my baby weight added with my piss poor posture, sit ups are kinda hard right now lol  with 2 weeks of straight sit ups I'll be good though and that test is next friday.

there is basically no chance your cardio is getting worse, unless you're getting emphysema or something. progressive overload doesn't work that way and you've been both adding miles and losing weight.

That's good to know haha I probably have just gotten used to running at a slower pace for longer than a mile so I'll have to adjust to the speed increase. 

As far as food goes, I'm looking at 2200 something for the day including

10oz steak, 1 serving peanuts, 4 kiwis, 1 complete cookie, 2 slices of cheese, 4 eggs, 3 servings of protein shakes, and turkey deli meat.

I've been upping the calories on accident but I think it's what I needed to get back to losing weight.

As far as Clinton Cash goes, you can watch it and draw your own conclusions.

Some highlights were they screwed over the haitians and whenever another country wanted something, hillary and bill named their price and masked it in speeches.

It was interesting and I'm curious about the center and left leaning members opinion on it.
