My journey to lean, strong, athletic and fit through the miracle of progressive Kettlebell Swing Combination training. My food strategies to deal with weight loss, and compulsive overeating, after losing more than 100lbs., and maintaining such a tremendous weightloss for more than 4 years....

Video demonstrates set #2 (3rd rotation). Last week I did an uphill ladder w/10 reps per weight, but resting 15 sec. between each increment of weight. This week I did my ladder, increasing/decreasing the weight with no rest and then alternating the ladder set with 2 min swing sets.
Saturday AM weight 126.6
6:15 KB
9:00am & 1:30pm demo swings (40 min. total)
Menu
coffee/cream 80 cal.
carrots/celery raisins/PNB 350 cal.
jujube fruit 40 cal.
donut (lg) 400 cal. (the stinkin thing was FREE @ work)
mexican candy 4000 cal. (damn...I threw the rest away)
soup w/chicken and black beans 450 cal.
Total 1720
As I was adding up the days calories in my head....after the candy, before the soup....I kept reassuring myself that I was still within my range....and then it hit me.....but how did I do, for myself, nutritionally? My focus has been on calories and not nutrition!
I need to nourish my body, I've got a pretty serious training test coming up and I'm not doing myself any favors with empty calories. There's nothing wrong with sugar and sweets in, I HATE this but, moderation!
Good food, good food, good food.
