On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

Today my only WOD was BJJ class. I was feeling pretty beat up after O-lift/Strength training yesterday and since it was Freddy's first night back I wanted to hit BJJ hard. Practice was good, I still feel like I get tired a bit quicker than usual, but I think I'm not quite as recovered from shingles as I would like to think I am. I'm sure it will come back with time.

Once again, I'm killing my nutrition. It has never been so good. For anyone unfamiliar with my current nutrition, let me give you the current break down. Much of this is based on Robb Wolf's writings. If you don't quite get what I'm talking about feel free to shoot me an email or talk to me in person.

I''m basically deconstructing the zone diet.

I eat 16 blocks at 2x fat. This means everyday to cover my caloric needs, I'm eating 16 blocks of carbs, 16 blocks of protein and 32 blocks of food.

I'm not however, eating every meal in strict zone proportions. I'm taking advantage of a concept called "nutrient timing." This is the principal that eating different foods at specific times can allow for more efficient use of the nutritional make-up of that food. 1/2 of my carbs are eaten immediately following my workout. The rest are spread out as I see fit over my other meals. To do this and stay full, I'm eating vegetables almost exclusively for most meals. To get enough carbs after a workout, I'll eat something like a sweet potato, yam, squash or something else with a higher glycemic-impact. My protein and fat I just try to divide up evenly over all my meals. Additionally, I'm trying to loose a slight amount of body fat, so I'm removing a few carb blocks and replacing them with additional fat blocks. (More on this another day) For each carb block I remove, I have to add 3 fat blocks. Currently, I have removed 2. This means I have added 6 fat blocks coming to a grand total of 16 protein blocks, 14 carb blocks and 38 fat blocks to be eaten over the course of the day. I know that's a lot to digest at once. (awful pun) I'll go into more detail on how I came up with these numbers in a later blog.
