It has been a few weeks since we finished up our detox. This time definitely was easier. I probably ate a few more calories this time around and I am sure that helped. We spent the weekend at a friends cottage right after finishing so we were back to caffeine and booze right away. Oh well! Everything in moderation.
To summarize the effects of the diet. Sleeping better. Not dependent on caffeine to get me going but sure do like the taste in the morning. We are using a blend of decaf and regular now. Lost a little weight. Most importantly got me thinking about what I consume as fuel.
Training is starting to come along. I am having a little trouble getting through everything I am suppose to in a week. A lot of that is due to circumstances out of my control. Holidays, travel and work topping the list.
I have had a very small breakthrough with my swimming. For the most part I haven't swum at all since IMLP 06. I have decided to swim at RMC on my own instead of joining masters swimming. In doing this I have been able to focus solely on technique and not worry about what the workout is or how fast I need to be going. In doing this I have finally figured out how to not use my shoulders to create power. My elbow is starting to come up and I am engaging my core lats and back. Now I just need to get those muscles in shape. I am not sure they have ever been used before.
