HCB's Journal, 15 February 2017

Happy mid-week, my Best Buddies:

I survived yesterday without too much trouble - we stayed home for dinner and I had my usual, but did add a small glass of wine to my day. I am trying for a five day week at the gym this week - four of them in a row. Orange Theory is as tough a workout as you want to make it, and I compete with myself every day to be better and lift heavier.

My nutrition is improving but the Idiot Box is up - my main goal is body composition and I am starting to see inches off my belly so muscle is probably up. Good with the macros today!

I will do a new fat caliper session with my trainer in a couple months - I need to see some bodyfat drop first!

I am feeling frustrated in my old way - want results!

Thanks Chevelle502; I am pushing back to my ketogenic phase so protein stays under 30% of my total calories. I have eaten many more grams of protein in the past and if I eat too much, gluconeogenesis happens and the extra gets stored as fat. Gluconeogenesisis is the process of synthesizing glucose in the body from non-carbohydrate sources such as extra protein.

I appreciate you - yes, we need protein to build muscle and push the metabolism!

My bff said her trainer said women are only allowed to have approximately 25-40G protein daily. I didn't respond.

@CR - I bet the trainer meant 25-40grams per meal!

Good thought, however, she does not like meat and eats very little and said she needs more protein. I got her onto Atkins protein drinks but she's pretty fussy. Next time I talk with her I'll find out. Thanks.
