OK... so I am not one for diets...so I prefer "The Zone Lifestyle"
Anyway - it sucks on the 3rd-ish day... I sort of started on Sunday, not really understanding the block math and what the appropriate foods were - so I read some online articles, made some quick guesses and modified what I ate on Sunday. I than thought... hey my bud's Brett and Dina from The Conviction are Zoners... so I borrowed a book.
Sunday night, me a calculator, a measuring tape and a notebook - - Well, I hope the book is slighlty wrong, not knowing my body type and all - because if not 35% of my body is FAT!! OUCH!!!!
So the trek began - I think I need 14 blocks of protien a day... (the rest is math)...
I have been sticking to it - without going total anal and counting brocolli spears and almonds, but I am very cognizant of what I am eating.
So I am not sure if the first few days have had an impact on my workouts... as they seem much harder, or am I simply getting older (not sure).
Well - this is an interesting journey, my wife is my team and I think together we can convert to better eating habits.
Stay tuned..

ReplyDeleteYou will definately notice a decrease in mood and workouts etc at first....your body is adjusting. Give it time to adapt. Sounds like you are doing great so far! Keep it up! If you ever need any guidance w/ it, we are here to help. Although I have to say, Brett is the Zone master and I take the crown w/ Paleo. (A good balance amongst us both) :)
