    Mid day snack:

    This has been a bad and busy few days for food and exercise. Fortunately all the urgent things in my notepad now have nice ticks against them, so I hope to be able to catch up on good healthy varied food, sleep and exercise. :)

    3 tablespoons greek yoghurt, half handful brazil nuts, banana
    1 slice grilled black pudding

    mid am snack: 1/4 handful brazil nuts

    4 hours on the ranges (including as I consider it light exercise) - essentially coaching training, but maxing out on rates of fire afterwards (hence the smoking gas parts).

    1L water

    100m plus two flights of stairs carrying a box of 120 magazines (this was not a good follow up to yesterday's pull ups - forearms really seized up).

    Evening meal (inspired by Robertmap):
    1/4 crispy duck
    shredded chilli beef
    sesame chicken
    stir fried veg
    1 glass red wine
    1 pint water
    (just too late to bother with cooking)

    2 chocolates
    pint of water

    Kudos on the clapping pushups. I'm slowly integrating plyometrics into my training, starting with lower body work.

    Wednesday 19 October

    30 minute dog walk

    Breakfast:
    cup of white tea
    5 cod fish fingers

    Mid am (lunch)
    1/2 handful of brazil nuts with 1 banana and 3 tablespoons greek yoghurt
    2 pieces home made almond flapjacks

    4 sets full rom lat pull ups
    1/2 pint water

    Evening meal:
    Cauliflower and brocoli cheese with 3 gluten free pork shoulder sausages

    2 sets leg extension abdominal exercise

    2 pints water

    I've been eating quite a few of the flapjacks and brownies recently (the log doesn't lie). These have been home made, and I've lowered the sugar content from the recipes. Despite this I've noticed a few effects:
    1. Greater hunger. I've had an urge to snack that I wasn't getting when I didn't have foods containing sugar.
    2. Greater fatigue.
    3. DOMS have got worse.
    4. The layer of fat on my belly has increased a bit.
    5. Sleep quality has deteriorated (though all that coffee after a low caffeine regime is sure to be linked).
    So... I'm going to cut back off the carbs again, cutting back on how much of the cake type stuff I eat.

    Downloaded Dormindo's gadget. Not 100% accurate as it doesn't list things like my black olives... I haven't managed to fully educate it to the fact that I don't care about my lipid levels yet - or set my protein levels appropriately.

    It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it. :)

    Interestingly this calculator seems to think I need 3130 cals a day. I told it I was 83kg, 182 cm and 'moderately active'. :)

    Saturday 22 October

    Breakfast:
    Cup white tea
    4 fish fingers

    30 minute cross country dog walk
    1 hour digging in the garden

    1 cup white coffee
    1 set leg extension abdominal exercise

    Lunch:
    Toad in the hole

    3 sets pull ups full rom
    4 sets leg extension abdominal exercise
    20 mins solo DART drills
    2 sets barbell shoulder press

    Evening meal:
    4 rashers grilled back bacon
    Half block grilled halloumi
    1 red pepper
    1 braeburn apple
    1 large glass red wine

    1.5 pints water

    I'm not getting in as much personal solo physical martial arts training as I would like at the moment - too much work on. My aim is to double this now that the busiest time of the year is over. The amount I'm doing seems a pittance compared to the training regime I had 2o years ago. :mad:

    I've been playing a bit with the food calculator - inputting values from the food wrappers. Unfortunately food wrappers don't give vitamin and mineral contents - so the sausages and the fish fingers have no values there. :rolleyes:

    Sunday 23 October

    A rest day.

    20 minute dog walk

    Breakfast:
    2 mugs white coffee
    2 large fried eggs
    4 all butter croissants

    2 pints water

    Lunch:
    1 portion meatballs and tomato sauce
    1 glass red wine

    1 pint water

    Evening meal:
    4 brazil nuts
    1 glass red wine

    1 pint water

    Interestingly this gadget only counts the sugar and protein and calories in alcoholic drinks. It ignores all the vitamins and minerals in them (but I bet it includes them in fruit juices).

    One thing I've noticed is that my protein intake is much lower than I thought it was, and I'm struggling to make my minimum muscle maintenance amount.

    PS - those croissants really unbalance the day's food!

    I should have had bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding and chipped potatoes for lower calories and greater nutrients.
