Beachpirate's 1st BP log

beachpirate · Post by **beachpirate** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 8:48 pm

Today was a good day. Day 4 of famine. After breakfast I completed 1 hour on my elliptical machine. It was more difficult than tuesday's stint and my legs were fried when I finished. After a short break I cut the grass which took about an hour to do. By the end of this I was pretty drained.

Diet has been ok today I have been tracking my intake this week on FitDay.com and did not track everything like I have been. I ate a cantaloup, 2 pineapples, a bag of lettuce with feta cheese, cashews and lite ranch dressing, celery, plums and 5 serving of V8.

Calories 1470
carbs 232
fat 55
protein 32

I have also been monitoring my resting heart rate each morning and had a significant increase today. I started with 58 on monday and today was 66. I checked this 4 times, once was at 4:30 when I woke up the first time and then 3 more times at 6am. I recorded 65, 66, 67, 66.

Sounds like you are spot on. I have failed to record my resting heart rate at all and I kick myself for not doing it since I am married to a nurse/phlebotomist.

Wish I had the ability to drink the V8 like you!!!

The vegetable V8 has taken some getting used too but the V8 Fusion and Splash are mighty tastey.

Great suggestions here, and I appreciate the community's input...

Rob goes to bed early (no later than 8:30PM) but up early too, answering questions and it's my priviledge to do so

Day 5 is almost over and I am looking forward to eating a steak! Today has been difficult because I have wanted to eat everything in site but I refrained. I started my morning with my day 5 workout and let me tell you, it was tough. I have never sweated so much lifting. The 30 sec rest period was just about enough time to move from one machine to the other. I did the same workout as monday but today I subbed leg presses for squats thinking it would allow me to push myself alittle harder. I thought I would be able to do an easy walk on the treadmill after lifting but I didn't last 5 minutes.

I returned home and rested up so I could cut the grass for 2 other yards. I thought it would be good to get the yards done during the famine phase to stress the body alittle more. It took me about 3 hours and I felt like I was in slow motion. I took a couple apples and a bottle of V8 slash to get me through the day.

Calories up to now 920
carbs 141
fat 38
protein 16

I will be using the next 3 days to rest and eat while I review the BP and get my next phase in order.

BBQ

I've been thinking about BBQ all day. I have a smoker and was wondering if pulled pork was ok to eat. I've already got some chicken cooked up and I will get the steaks ready tomorrow. 4000 calories sounds like a lot of food for someone who gains weigh as fast as I do.

Play those calories by ear and we'll re-evaluate after 3 days are up. Many different ways to go about this so no worries. We'll come up with a plan for you...

i am a fast gainer too, 4k cals is a lot. If you only need 3000 I think pork butt on the smoker is a reward

4oz has about 230 cals /25gms of protien

I encourage you to smoke it, I will be down with the kids at around 4

Day 1 of Feast. I feel like I have eaten all day but it was all good. I don't think I have intentionally ate that much in a long time. This is going to take some getting used too.

maintenance calories 260 x 12 = 3120
