In limbo (well sorta)

Well, things are still going great I am eating better than I have as long as I can remember, and with very little effort. I still have not put much down on paper (as far as nutrition) but I want to learn to eat well with out having to be locked to a piece of paper for what to eat. I have taken all I am learning from Cyclo-Fuel, and putting it to practice.

I am at present in a Maintenance/Performance eating phase, meaning that though I am working out hard my work outs are not so hard that I have to be in a strictly performance phase. It started out about 50/50 now I am at about 30/70 (maintenance/performance) phase. My workouts are getting more intense but I am still making sure my injuries (well parts of me that are injured) are really ready for hardcore training.

I had kicked around going to no red meat, and though in about a month I have had read meat maybe 5 times but I am still eating turkey, fish, and chicken. I have found lots of meat alternatives such as TVP,TSP, veggie cheese, soy products (that I actually like) . I think that is the biggest help in eating better is to find things you like as much as the things you are replacing and keeping it simple.

Well, my weight is still coming off some I am intentionally trying to stay around 195 for a little while. I want to ramp my weight down not just drop it all, thats when I think it comes back the easiest. But, my metabolism is still in high gear and once I start putting in more miles and HIT workouts it will go into overdrive. It is going to be an interesting race season...
