New Plan
After meeting with the nutritionist this morning, we discussed the likelihood that stress and the metabolism thereof is what is contributing to my lack of progress. There was a lot of information about epinephrine and norepinephrine and cortisol and how the body produces it and what the body does with it, which made sense at the time but which I doubt I can repeat here with any sort of sense. The upshot is that it's all about timing - when to eat, when to exercise, when the body does certain things chemically, circadian rhythms, etc. So, here is the new plan:
Work out 3x/week, evenings (Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday):
5 minutes warm-up
30 minutes full body weight training
30-45 minutes cardio, heart rate 130-150 bpm
Cardio follows lifting
Work out 2x/week, mornings (Monday and Saturday):
30-45 minutes cardio, heart rate 130-150 bpm
Calories = 1500 daily, taken in four meals
Eat within 1 hour of waking, do not eat within two hours of going to bed. Do not eat fruit, pasta, bread, rice, or potatoes after 5:00 pm.
Drink plenty of water. Take a multivitamin, digestive enzymes, and fish oil daily.
I'll keep you updated on the progress. The thing I like about my nutritionist is that I NEVER leave his office feeling hopeless.
