OK folks, here we go.... Thank you all for joining the challenge! I'm excited to see all of the positive changes that are going to take place. Once again, here are the rules...
Rules of the challenge:

Good luck peeps! Remember 1pm today on Sylvan Island, MANWOD.....
I am giving up cigarettes and coffee. I am going to run 3x/week and workout 2x/week instead.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to take my kettlebell to work for those times when I get stressed; go out and do a few KB swings and then back to work. :)
So far I have had 6 scrambled eggs, 1 avocado, 1 cup green tea and 4 squares of 85% chocolate (to help with the nicotine cravings).
Would love to do Sylvan Island... someday...

ReplyDeleteI have cut the bad from my diet and I do not think I added double of the good to compensate. I spoke with Greg this morning after blacking out and hitting my head on the wall.
If you are feeling bad...Eat More good foods.
Good luck and by the way I am not quitting
Nice Matt! Way to dust yourself off and get back on the horse... You need more fuel than most of us because of Ironman training, so I will do some research and post links to help understand how endurance athletes can thrive on a low carb diet.
ReplyDeleteMatt:
ReplyDeleteHere are some links to information regarding low carb diets and endurance athletes.
Looks like you're going to have to veer off of the whole 30 path and use protein powder to supplement your caloric needs.

Check out page 13 for sample Endurance athlete foods. It lists bagels & pasta as allowable after your long workouts, but I'd play with the other options first to see if they'll suffice.
I thought it started monday so there was a little cheat in there ;-)
