Well, I've finally gained enough weight back that I'm feeling like I'm back to square one. I'm NOT, but I feel like it. So I decided to do something about it.
I met with my CF coach yesterday to do a body analysis and go over nutrition. I realized that I don't really know how to eat properly for the kind of working out that I do. Yes, I understand a balanced diet, but for weightlifting it's a bit different. Mainly, I need more protien... and to cut the junk I've been munching on lately.
So I have my calorie, protien, carb and fat intakes laid out for me. I'm using FitDay.com to keep track of what I eat. And I get my first cheat day on Dec 27. AFTER CHRISTMAS! ACK!!
I've also decided to go back to CF two days a week, in addition to the Olympic weightlifting. I've been biking lately and I enjoy it.. so I don't think I'll stop that. But I haven't been doing enough of it. And the Rec Center... forget it. I haven't been going.
My shoulder is still messed up, so that's keeping me from swimming for now. Hopefully I can start that up once I have a bit more strength in my shoulder. For now, I'm doing light exercises and not pushing myself AT ALL because if by the beginning of January I'm still in pain--SURGERY.
I'm going to take "before" pictures and post them in the next few days. (How embarassing.)
I've come to accept that the number on the scale can be whatever it is... The muscle weight is fine. I just want the fat gone. And there's more than I'd like to admit at this point. :(
