Rules for Overtraining

Mondays are excellent days to start new and fresh. Maybe you've been overindulging or under-training or forgetting the right ways to treat your body. Here is some good information to get you back on track:

I have been overtraining. It is hard for me to notice or resist exercise when I know I'm overdoing it. this is because I reward myself for long training efforts by having french fries or dessert (or both). In other words, I'm depleting myself to a point where I MUST have sugar and I usually have to remind myself that I am altering my endocrine and immune functions and elevating my anxiety and not eating properly as a result. My focus this week will be on LESS steady state cardio and evaluating my diet.

WEEKLY GOALS:

I will not train for more than 60 minutes per day

I will eat 100 grams of quality protein a day (grass fed beef, organic eggs and poultry, wild fish)

I will sleep at least 7 and a half hours per night

I will keep my carbohydrate intake to under 100 grams per day

That's it. 7 days of relaxing with my workouts so that I am not ravenously hungry all the time should do the trick. How do YOU deal with overtraining?
