Base Camp: Day 5

Day 5 of 12

Base Camp Training Time: 6:20 P.M.

Notes: I didn't go to my gym today. Instead, I walked around my neighborhood with my dog today for 10 minutes, pushing my threshold between walking and jogging. In essence, I was power-walking the entire time. It's a completely different experience than I would have guessed; it really burns up the calves. I performed my push-ups, sit-ups, and crunches in my living room.

Sleep:
Time Retired: 3 A.M.
Time Awaken: 12:30 P.M.
Total Sleep: 9 hours 30 minutes

Notes: One thought, I need to get my routine into gear, quick.

Nutrition

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

Meal 1: 12:30 P.M.

• 1 Packet Chocolate Myoplex
• 6 raspberries + blueberries
• 16 oz. water; 4 ice cubes

Combined in blender

• 1 tsp of Carlson's Fish Oil

* I drank this very slowly for maximum absorption. Tasty. Good way to start the day.

Meal 2: 3:00 P.M.

• 12 oz. water
  
• 4 ice cubes
• 1 packet of Vanilla RIGHT

* Wow, this stuff is just amazing. I love how it's not so sweet as to stimulate my appetite and leave me begging for more. Calms the appetite and enhances my mental clarity.

Meal 3: 5:35 P.M.

• Bowl with eggwhites (not full bowl); dash of hot sauce
• 1 apple and few berries; raspberries
• 1 tsp of Pink Lemonade Metamucil
• 1 tsp of Carlson's Fish Oil

* Felt good following this, but still a little hungry for some reason. I drank a lot of water to try and calm my appetite.

Meal 4: 8:00 P.M.

• 1 portion of Salmon
• Bowl of vegetables; zucchini, squash, carrots, greenbeans
• Small sweet potato sprinkled with Flax-meal and 1 tsp of Smart-balance spread

* Very good fullness following this. The flax-meal on the potato was great.

Meal 5: 2:00 A.M.

• Couple of blackberries
• 1 tsp of Pink-Lemonade Metamucil
• 1 can of boneless-skinless salmon

Notes: I'm trying to spread the meals out and get more than 3-4 in, which i did. I don't necessarily like eating at 2 AM, but that's just a matter of getting my sleep cycle back in check. Next week that will happen. I got my 2 tsp of Fish-oil today. I can't wait to start training intensely so I can ramp it up to 2-3 tablespoons. I feel much better when i mega-dose this stuff.
