Gym Update

Well, I bought some stall mats. I got 8 and installed 5. I have some rearranging to think about. Might have to enlist my daughter for her opinion.

Still Intermittent Fasting

There's a nasty cold going around. I have it. Larry has it. Several of my coworkers have it. I am itching to get back to working on my gym and working out in my gym. I think I'm on the mend so, perhaps tonight. I am still fasting. 16:8. It feels pretty comfy to me. I definitely like the time saving aspects. I think I am losing some weight. I definitely have more energy. Eczema is clearing up. I am tweaking some of the macros. Trying to get at least 200g of protein. Also...ALSO... I am getting some stall mats this weekend. Found a good deal on Craigslist. I got cement to make squat stands. I love creating my space!

Intermittent Fasting

Last week, I did 2 days of intermittent fasting. I purposefully didn't fast on Friday, Saturday, nor Sunday. I have a cold. I am taking today off from work. I feel like fasting today  so I am. Not planning on working out tonight but I want to!

Gym update

Got my huge tarp to enclose my carport. I was ready to brave the 25 to 35 degree weather and hang the "curtain walls" during my break. 25 to 35 became -3 to 10. So I reconsidered my choices. Upon a second look at the small garage next to the carport, I realized that there is in fact room for me to go overhead. I'll probably not do snatches in it, but lighter jerk, push  press, and shoulder press is definitely  do able. Also some of the crossbeams are higer to allow for the garage door to track unobstructed and are spaced at least 3ft apart. I can hang a pullup bar. I can put up a wallball target as well. I bought a propane heater which I tested today. It got the space warm enough pretty quickly. I have my treadmill stored out there and am considering running an extension cord out to it. The alley is covered in snow so there will be days that a treadmill will be a good thing!
