#008 – Reconnecting Macros

by //

Don’t be romantic with what has worked, optimize to grow.

An eventful week. Tweaked my calories & macros. Progressed further bodyweight training. Reconnected with like minded buddies.  I never restructured my diet since I hit my goal weight. After hitting the goal I continued on regularly without strictly tracking macros & calories. It was maintainable. After starting exercise for over 6 months now the old weight cut diet plan isn’t viable anymore.

This episode I go through the new food plan, and reconnecting with buddies who have  become a support group in a short amount of time.

#007 – Start Bodyweight

by //

After 6 months fitness habit is formed, but progression has stalled.

It took me a full 6 months without dropping a single day to get my mind & body into the habit of working out. I went from 30sec workouts to 45-60min every single day. Habit is created, but I feel progression has stalled. My 1st solution to break the ceiling, starting a basic bodyweight routine.

This episode I go through the process of cracking the glass wall of progression. This is my first true experience that health & fitness is a ever changing game. There is no one size fits all.

#006 – Boxing Wake

by //

If there’s enough desire.. it will happen.

I had an epiphany. I’ve been really reserved practicing boxing on my own with no gym & no coach. The comments & posts online about bad habits and injury stemming from practicing alone is very loud. A video made me realize the worst habit was being reserved and doing nothing about it.

This episode I go through the mental breakthrough. Doing something is always better than nothing.
