Base Camp: Day 10

Day 10 of 12

Base Camp Training Time: 8:00 P.M

Notes: I performed my training exercises in a circuit fashion today. With no rest in between sets. Instead of doing 3 sets of push-ups consecutively, I performed all 3 exercises in a row.

Sleep:
Time Retired: 11:00 P.M.
Time Awaken: 7:00 A.M.
Total Sleep: 8 hours

Notes: This is just about right.

Nutrition

Water intake (in addition to water specified below): 2 gallons
* Asterisk indicates mood/feeling after eating specified food

Meal 1: 7:10 A.M.

• 15 oz. water; 4 ice cubes w/ 1 packet Chocolate Full Strength

* This chocolate shake is tasty, but still ... I'm failing to realize what's so special about it.

Meal 2: 10:50 A.M.

• 16 oz. water
• 1 packet Chocolate Myoplex
  

Combined in Shaker.

* This does just about as much for me as Full Strength did this morning.

Meal 3: 2:00 P.M.

• 16 oz. water
• 1 packet Vanilla Myoplex
  

* Slightly recharged. Wishing I had the RIGHT Shakes. I ordered some more, it looks like they should be here just in time for me to start my Transformation camp. While they're more calorie sparse, I feel more satisfied with them.

Meal 4: 6:00 P.M.

• 1 can of Chicken of The Sea Salmon w/ pinch of Tabasco sauce
• 3/4 cup of mixed berries; blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries.
  

* I overdid it a bit on this one. I'm starting to see a patten here. My most frequent over-eating habits occur during the night after around 5:00 P.M.

Meal 5: 9:10 P.M.

• 1 egg-white omelette w/ 3 tsp of fresh salsa and black pepper
• strawberries and blueberries

*Good healthy meal but too large.

Notes: I'm really appreciating this journaling because I've finally realized that my over-portioned, over-eaten meals frequently occur during the later hours. This could very well be due to not eating, but rather drinking meal replacements through the first part of the day. In any event, I will be taking a 2 day break from logging in this journal at the conclusion of base camp (tomorrow). I'm going to re-read a few things to make sure I have them ingrained in my brain and then start my new journal practices on Monday, which will include more than just nutritional and sleep data.
