Hi all,
I think I need to pivot and come up with a new Master Plan.
It feels like my 2019 goals and the ideas in my progress thread were doomed from the beginning.
My problem is that I am currently running beyond capacity and burning out simply by performing a regular job.
I did okay for a few months and could work on a side project, then things got really bad (again) and I am back at the point where I cannot do anything after work.
Now I am convinced that I need to fix some unidentified health issues before I can work on anything else.
I need the full weekend to recover after a work week.
I tried a not very strict low carb diet for a while ... then stopped because I did not think it helped. The long term decline makes me reconsider this.
I managed to keep up a very light home workout (around 20 minutes in the morning), gained around 6kg (good ... want to gain more) ... but now I struggle maintaining the weight. Don't have the energy to keep up the changes to my diet.
I want to come up with
a) experiments around metrics that help with clarity - I want to pinpoint where my problems lie
b) a 4 pronged training program (physical, mental, emotional and social) and
c) an easy to follow dietary plan
What would you incorporate into a training program?
What metrics would you prioritize when it comes to energy issues?
Can you think of any other things worth looking into?
Am tempted to add "NO F*C*ING DOCTORS" ... :-/
Cheers!
