John has to travel this week: he left on Sunday, and won’t be back until Friday night.\u00a0 This means some disruption to his workout and diet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At least TSA didn’t confiscate his IsaTest…he brought it along with him, and has been sending daily bulletins.<\/p>\n

I’ll let him speak for himself…as he laid out his goals for the trip yesterday:<\/p>\n

“Big week this week.\u00a0 I’m traveling to out in the sticks, South Carolina for a week-long meeting. Cut off from nutritious food and a gym for a week.\u00a0 Staying on the program will be a challenge.\u00a0 I weighed in as 209.8 lbs today, and the goal is to come back the same.\u00a0 I’ve lost 4 pounds since starting the test, and gained a hint of lean mass, and I don’t want to lose that.\u00a0 The challenge is going to be eating properly; being locked up\u00a0among mundanes from a fitness perspective, and without my own wheels, it’s going to be nearly impossible to get in 5 meals a day.\u00a0 Depending on where we go for restaurants, I should be able to make good meal choices.\u00a0 Staying hydrated will also be an important goal.\u00a0 I’m carrying along a copy of “Never Gymless” for ideas for circuits – though since I’m doing this in a hotel room, the choices are mostly push ups, lunges, wall squats, crunches and dips.\u00a0 But I’ll see what variations and options come up in the book.\u00a0 I’ll be reporting back on a daily basis, which will help me stay on course.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The “Never Gymless” book is by Ross Enamait<\/a> – and was highly recommended by one of the other mods on the “Bodybuilding Revealed” forum.\u00a0\u00a0It’s a good one too, although some of the exercises\u00a0look pretty\u00a0advanced.\u00a0 When he brings it back, I’m gonna flip through it some more and see what I can incorporate into my get-up-from-the-computer-and-move-around mini routines.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He just sent today’s check-in message:<\/p>\n

“I’m having computer problems tonight – I can’t get past the federal firewall, so I’m\u00a0writing this from the walk-up computer in the lobby.\u00a0 Eating was erratic again – three meals today with a snack.\u00a0 Breakfast: a bagel with peanut butter, with a yogurt (note – stay away from the Hampton Inn breakfast);\u00a0 lunch, a salad bar at the Savannah River Site cafeteria (splurged with a tblsp of blue cheese dressing); dinner, mahi mahi with broccoli and a green salad; also splurged with two beers.\u00a0 Couple of Clif bars throughout the day – I’ve run out of them, so I won’t be eating any more of them the rest of the week.\u00a0 Hit a grocery store and picked up some cottage cheese, string cheese and fruit.\u00a0 Not real bad, but not real good.\u00a0 Tomorrow’s another day.\u00a0 Got in a little workout – wall squats until I sank to my knees.\u00a0 If I have enough time to digest, I’ll repeat the pushups.”<\/em><\/p>\n

So far, so-so…protein sounds a bit on the low side, and there were a few too many splurges (Clif bars, beers – and I’ll bet\u00a0he had\u00a0more than 1 tbsp. of dressing – lol).\u00a0 But we’ll see how the week progresses.\u00a0\u00a0I’ll report a weight\u00a0and body comp\u00a0after he gets back next weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
