Interesting back off effects

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.

up at 2am - Insomnia

Definitely time for a layoff...no matter how good I feel at lunch time I am not slinging today...I think I am in burnout mode....

Tae Kwon Do

Did some good defense knife blocks, lots of punching and kicking. A little jump 'n roll 'n crescent kicks with stepping side kick and elbow strikes...

all in all, a good session.
