Yeah, sounds like that's a good idea. Too much protein is hard on the kidneys. A good balanced diet is probably all you need to succeed.

I decided to make Wednesdays my alternate training method day. Tonite I will do my pull-ups with a resistance band and then next Wednesday I will do body weight rows using my dip bar. Mondays and Fridays I will do my walk-the-planks.

In the book I just got BODYWEIGHT STRENGTH TRAINING Anatomy it shows how to do the SLIDING FLY using paper plates. I'm thinking about trying these.

I do bicep curls with a resistance band and tomorrow I'm moving up to a stronger band.

Hear what he is saying about yogurt? I think of my yogurt as a protein supplement.

Yes, it's a good source of protein. Unfortunately one has to steer clear of those with a lot of added sugar. That's why I like Skyr, which is an icelandic-style yogurt. It's low in sugar and is actually available over here in the U.S. About.com has a recipe for making your own Skyr, too. Also, I was able to find Siggy's Skyr in a major chain grocery store over here. You might be able to find it over there as well.

Today I take my second set of measurements and start tracking. I weighed myself already. Today my weight is 151 lbs. Last Monday my weight was 154 lbs.

I just finished with the measurement, calculating, and tracking. The only thing that looks good so far is the weight lose. With doing the other things I think there is a lot of variables involved so much so that you have to track for weeks then see how its trending.

Wow am I tired. I started working on doing the new routines that I put together. I could really feel the mountain climbers. The planks made me tremble.

I bought a step deck today for doing uneven squats. Starting to work toward being able to do pistol squats.

Hadn't heard of pistol squats before, had to look them up. They're pretty hardcore.

Yes they are and not only that the progressions leading up to being able to do them are hard to impossible as well. That one leg stand up from a chair I can't do yet non even using a strap to help pull myself back up. I can do regular squats no problem. I seen some girl in a YouTube video doing uneven squats as part of the progression to be able to do pistol squats and I thought that would be the next step in the progression so I bought that step deck and tried them last night. I could do them and I could feel them so it seems to be right. Those other movements are way to big of a step in the progression. Its what I've been telling you about over the years about road blocks being put into thing to make people fail.
