Updated My Progress Page

I've updated my progress page with my latest numbers and photos.  I'm still very pleased with how things are working doing the unweighed and unmeasured lowish carb paleo approach.  I am pretty much just eating when I'm hungry and only as much as I want at the time.  It can be a little tricky to do that when you have to prepare food to eat at work since you have to guess how hungry you will actually be.  Sometimes I am pretty close, other times not so much.

Been eating a bit more fruit these last couple of weeks since it is blackberry season and I can get all I want from the bushes outside my house.  Usually it is less than a cup per day, though a couple of days I've eaten a couple of cups.

I've also been mulling a couple ideas for longer blog posts which I'll hopefully get out soon.

For my workouts, I'm into the second week of the "Power Block" for "You Are Your Own Gym" plan of body weight exercises.  I'm really liking the program so far.  Even the lower body stuff can be challenging even though my legs are quite strong, especially compared to the rest of me.  For upper body, my body weight definitely is providing enough of a challenge, and the movements are adaptable to increase or decrease the load as needed.  To an extent at least.

Next week starts the 4 week Undulating block where each day I'll be doing a different style of workout for each body part.  So one week might be Ladders (muscular endurance) for upper body push, Interval sets (strength) for lower body, Super sets (power) for upper body pull and tabatas for core.  The next week everything might shift one.  In addition there will be a 5th workout day which will be stappers which are 20 minute blocks of doing as many rounds of a lower body exercise, upper body pull and an upper body push, with as little rest as possible.  Should be interesting once I get to it.
