Mar 11 - Shane

Pretty standard day, back at work after a weekend of too much eating/drinking and too little training.

Morning workout: Olympic powerlifting, chest and back weights, and core exercises on stability ball.
Post-workout meal: Peanut butter sandwich, 3 hard boiled eggs
Afternoon workout: 2k at the pool, done in 250m intervals. Each interval was under 5 minutes, except for the 5th one that I did in 5:02. I hope to be able to do 1k in under 20 minutes by the end of the month.
Post-workout meal: Ramen and a can of sardines. Yes, awful, but I went grocery shopping afterwards so it shouldn't happen again.

From now on, I won't really post other food I eat - just know that I'm eating plenty of legumes, tree nuts, some fruit, a lot of dairy, about 3 eggs, probably around 2-4 servings of fish per day, 1-2 servings of other meat, and a lot of leafy or fibrous vegetables like spinach or celery. Basically it's a diet very high in unsaturated fat, medium in saturated fat, very high in fiber, and somewhat low in carbs. My only carbs will come from legumes, whatever traces show up in my dairy intake, and fresh fruit and vegetables - with the obvious exception of my high carb post-workout meals (to restore glycogen and encourage muscle growth with insulin). I'll be eating cottage cheese before bed most nights for the casein. I eat whatever is on the above "allowed" list until I'm full - feeling hungry is for suckers.

I will still completely avoid trans fats, white carbs (potatoes, white pasta/bread, anything with breading), refined sugars, juices, and most processed foods. It's hard without a stove or oven, though.

If I deviate from those I'll still post the junk food and alcohol I consume. If this diet doesn't work for me - either I am seeing detrimental effects on my performance or I have trouble sticking to it, I'll change it and post it here.
