After completing seven days of the Whole 30 Paleo Challenge (perfect eating for one month) I can say my motivation to stay on track has improved. Once a goal is set and you start making progress it helps when progress comes quickley. As my colleague Victor Hall reminds me "Success breeds motivation". Victor is my model for success. After transforming himself from 180 lbs and +20% body fat down to a 155 lbs. and 7% body fat using these methods of clean eating, carb restriction, and exercise how could I not follow. Here are my numbers for the week.
- Start weight 8/1 - 186 lbs.
- End weight 8/6 - 179 lbs.
- Start Body Fat 8/1 - 17.2%
- End Body Fat 8/6 - 16.2%
- Ave Calories - 1684 kcal
- Ave Protein - 122 grams
- Ave Fat - 112 grams
- Ave Carbs - 46 grams
Being that it was week #1 i am still playing with my numbers. I started out with my calories very low and let them creep up over the week as my body dictated. I would like to bring my protein up while keeping my carbs between 50-75 grams. My appetite is increasing with the addition of cardio. I am using an unweighed and unmeasured approach for the most part. But I do track my calories so I can see where I am at by days end using Daily Burn . Additionally I track my weight daily as part of Pirate Project 3.0 even though the Whole 30 says not to. I will be adding my Strength / Fitness/ Skills Training to the blog in a future post. Here is a peek at what I am gunning for.
