Monday workouts
1.5 - 2 hours of weights today. I usually start with 15 mins 8 - 9.5 mph runs and 10 mins after, but have had shin pain recently so I don't know what to warm up with. Possibly stationary bike.
How many calories are you taking in daily nate? I've been trying 2500 - 2800 a day over the last few weeks. Initially I was gaining around .2 of a lb a day, but now I'm losing again. Protein intake is 180 - 210 g a day. 6 meals a day. Goal is more muscle and faster runs over 5k.
Off weight days was a 5k+ run a day in 23 mins or better (no HIIT). Elliptical 20 mins then back to fast walking to cool down.

I dont really track calories. I make sure I get at least 350-400g of protein a day and I eat a ton of healthy fats (guessing around 100g). I am guessing I get 100g of carbs most days. Most of my carbs though are right b4 and right after weight training. My guess work above puts me around 3000 cals a day. I've learned to listen to my body though, if I'm feeling run down and beat up I will force myself to get more food in. Nothing against long runs, I will be getting back to them soon but it's just too hard to gain muscle when you do. Just so you know there is no way I could eat enough food to get to those numbers above. I drink a lot of shakes and eat a lot of quest bars. If you don't already use the quest bars try them. You have to buy them direct from them.
No longer about weight , it's all about living.
Andrew,
How did you ship your bike? We want to send my husband's bike down to my son (San Jose to Orange County). I was thinking Amtrack and my husband thinks UPS. What way do you ship?
