Feeling a bit more like myself today.
 
Nice to hear about some pending chickens arriving .
The eggs are actually Peafowl eggs, our pea hen has not gone broody, and the eggs are around 4 times the size of the bantam eggs that the broody chook lays.


I hope to be able to order my power bar later this week ($500 that I consider to be well spent), home gyms are expensive to build.

Food has been good today, I have some rib fillet in a pan at the moment for my evening meal that will bring my protein up to my target of 130 gram, spiced with garlic and pepper, cooked with a little butter and some onions, some steamed broccoli and cauliflower on the side.
 
Way under on food so far today, but just not hungry.

200 body weight squats (2 sets)
50 Decline pushups

Carrying weight plate from the car into the shed farmers walks ??

Son 3 contributed funds today, adding a heavy duty power rack on order, so when everything arrives, I will have all of the core equipment for training/coaching at home :santa:

Son number 3 is considering returning to competition, it would be great to see him progress from 2 Aus records and add a national title or better.
 
Intermittent fasting from dawn to sunset for 30 consecutive days is associated with anticancer proteomic signature and upregulates key regulatory p... - PubMed - NCBI

keeping up the habit started at uni of spending a few hours each week reading studies, I lead a very boring life lol

also this evening, spent an hour moving weights (standard plates, DBs, kettle-bells) from the shed with my old setup, into the shed with my new gym along with lifting and moving benches. Standard size weights are ok for accessory work. Still need to work out where to move my heavy bag to and decide if i will move the stationary bike from the house down to the gym.

Brilliant! What a thoughtful present - and one that'll be well used by all the family, too, I gather, with him going back into competition! :)
 
Calories are again low at this stage of the day (500) but still have evening meal to go and still need another 50 grams of protein, also still low on Argenine and a couple of other amino acids, if Arginine doesn't hit target after eating I will supplement, the others should be easy to hit target when I eat.

Potassium is almost spot on but sodium intake is super low agian (10% of minimum RDA)

Water for today 3.5 litres
 
Finished eating for the day, not bad for nutrition but not perfect

95% of targets reached

Nutritional targets not reached

Arginine -89% (My intake is set to above minimums to aid muscle building, If it does not balance out tomorrow will supplement)
Sodium 16 % (Something to keep an eye on, but not worried unless I begin to cramp)
Vit K 63 % (This will balance out through the week)
B5 54 % (Another Vit that will balance out through the week)
Total Calories 76 % (Not too concerned as Nutrition was good)

Kept Net Carbs down to 5.2 grams :)


It has been a little while since I tracked in detail
 
By eating well and staying on target yesterday, my energy levels were through the roof, I slept better last night and have good energy levels this morning. Today's task is more organising in my gym (cleaning) and take some of the pieces of equipment down the the "gym" that have accumulated in various rooms of the house. TRX straps, FMS test kit etc. all need to move.

B5 38 % (Hmm, need to look at fixing this)
Total Calories 85 % (More than yesterday, but don't think I could eat any more)
