History:
Plateaued at ~215#'s with a recent jump to 218/220
Training hard using Kettlebell Burn and ITF Tae Kwon Do
Diet: Warrior Diet
Symptoms:
the 24kg suddenly felt heavy. I mean really heavy.
A 24kg bell is the low end of my working weight, so for it to feel heavy was odd.
Sleep:
So-so till last week. Then whammo, 5am wake ups (hour before alarm clock) or worse a 2am wake up and not being able to go back to bed.
Course of action:
First and foremost, I did a food log for a week and discovered that I have been chronically under-eating. Which is odd, because you would think that would be very hard, but the Warrior Diet conditions you to eat light during the day. After a while, with out realizing it, I had cut my calories Waaaay back.
So step 1.
Eat more quality nutrients (range fed beef, chicken, organic fruits and veggies)
Step 2.
No training. I did do some yard work, which got me sweaty, but light compared to heavy bell work.
Results:
Sleep is still an issue (5am roll call, but no 2am BS)
My weight has dropped to 216 while eating more!
I feel better over all. Monday will be TKD and I wont start lifting again till Tuesday.
