Warrior Week

So far this week i've been working hard on losing the weight gained over the weekend. I've gone complete 'warrior' for the week. So you know, the 'warrior diet' is basically fasting during the day, and eating well at night. There is a bit more to it, but that is the basic principle. So far so good. No loss of energy, no hunger pains, feel absolutely no different to usual in fact.
Monday dinner - 500g cattleman steak, veges, and two fried eggs. Snacking on nuts beforehand.
Tuesday dinner - 2 beef rissoles, veges, 2 fried eggs. Again, plenty of nuts for snacks beforehand.
Wednesday dinner - Tonight is my 'cheat' meal, so i'm going two pies, with vege and eggs.

On Monday evening i tested my strength and fitness progression.
Push-ups.....10, 5, 4. I'm not too upset, as my arms were still feeling it from Saturdays efforts. So i'm going back to push-ups every 3 nights now, back every second night when i feel my muscles are better trained and used to it.
Beep-test....I ran a 7.1. I'm happy with where i'm at with this as well. Feeling pretty confident i can get to my goal of 9.0. I can certainly feel that i used to be a smoker. Glad i quit 7 month ago, but can certainly see i've got a long way to go to get back to anywhere near where i used to be as a runner.
Tuesday evening i went for a run. Doing my usual track, with RunKeeper. Did two laps, which gave me a running time of 20.01mins. RunKeeper also informs me that the track was 3.7km this time around :) This is fine.

Tonight is beach volleyball night. It's of absolutely no benefit to me physically. It's just a social competition in which trying seems to be ridiculed :) However, it's a good break in the middle of the week from going for a run, or doing anything physical. It's good to let the body rest.

Planning to see out the next couple of days with the 'warrior' diet. Then back to normal on the weekend for my cheat day. This time round, watching my portion sizes.
