Lift, Train, Fitness

I have a tough 3 weeks ahead, with early starts at uni for the practical portion of the Oztag coaching, the heat has been high even at 8 am, but have to look on the bright side, I am not in the midday session.

No smoke in the air this morning makes a good change.

I have a diet killer event in a couple of weeks, A friend just got engaged so a party stacked with 20 ish year olds is a recipe for bad eating lol
 
Glad the smoke's cleared - and may it be long before there's any return of it!
I hate that it's hot for you so early in the season - summer used to be three months long, but now it's looking more like six. :(

And bad drinking! :D Enjoy the champagne toast to the engaged ones - and check out where they keep the mineral water for the rest of the night!
 
Today's focus at uni was training female athletes, biological differences that effect training, how to modify training to maximise the benefits of our cycle depending on sport.

It is amazing how many variations there are in the sex genes. (20 +)

And I take it as a compliment as it was meant to be from the biomechanist lecturer and former Allblacks coach saying I am built like the proverbial brick shithouse :D being a rare build for a female. It makes me wonder what my genetics actually are.

I came to terms a very long time ago that I would never have the build of most females, I don't post my actual photo here because my body type is not that which is desired or genetically normal as a goal for most members.
 
It´s funny: I may not have quite your build but I was taking measurements to order some shirts yesterday and despite now being at a weight I´m quite happy with I still need XXL (at least for this specific brand).
 
I am sitting under a tree at uni, with another 30 minutes till a lecture, my body feels like it has ceased up after 2 hours of oztag this morning. I am soooo sore, and I may also have a sunburned face despite it being an early morning session.
 
While my eating has been ok, it has not been great, and I do have some inches i need to still loose.

So from now till my birthday i am jumping in on the carnivore challenge, I will need to hit the butcher tomorrow to stock up on organ meat to be able to hit nutritional targets. Progress will be tracked with the buckle on my lifting belt. There is no cheating the sizing as the buckle has to unscrewed to change belt size
 
Good luck with your new challenge! I'm sure you've researched this: isn't it hard to start eating normally again after not having had any fiber for a while on the carnivore challenge?

I have not had any problems in the past when I have gone carnivore. Uni has placed a few to many temptations in front of me and I just need to get super strict with myself for a while, If I challenge myself for a period of time I do better as I have a very competitive personality.
 
Tru, thank you so much for providing this link. I am up to page 55 & am really finding this so beneficial & informative." If some is good, more is not better." Just reading this will stop me from restricting too much. I might up my protein a little too. I'll stick to "rambling" & gradually increasing my exercise & really listen to my body's cues.
 
Photo of current belt hole for accountability. Yesterdays eating was spot on. Water and chicken for breakfast before hitting the gym. Just finished working my way through the exercise prep movements and core exercises for exam practice

Wow, that´s a solid piece of equipment! Now I see what you mean with it needing to be unscrewed to change it.
 
Eating and water intake good so far today, I have had about 3 litres of water already lol

I am less bloated, no more itching from eating the wrong foods and my appetite is greatly diminished, My head wants me to eat but my body is in no way hungry. I am almost past the caffeine withdrawals.

I have been putting my extra energy and concentration into writing an excel sheet this arvo to partially Automate writing training programs. including calculating 1RM from sub maximal lifts and calculating exercise loads based on % of 1RM.

It has taken hours typing in lists of exercises which I now need to write formula for so they can be selected as appropriate. Also still to do is have excel select the right correctives based on a persons FMS results so they can more easily be incorporated into the training.
 
Do you know what specific food(s) make you itch? Asking for a friend...
