Training and Nutrition Log Sheets

Any one who has every tried to reach a goal knows how hard it is to accomplish something you set your sights on. One thing I cant say is enough is if you "Fail to plan! You Plan to Fail!" Your wondering what the hell does this have to do with log sheets well hang with me for a little while and you will see.

Each day you workout if you log what you did how you felt and the foods that you ate it becomes a personal health recording. What do I mean lets say every Mondays workout your really tired and drained no matter how much rest you get the day before. On the other hand each Thursday you have super human strength for your workout. We looked at your log sheets and the Sunday before every Mondays workout you ate 2 cheat meals which caused you to feel tired and drained because your body doesn't want the crap you ate and it affected each Mondays workout. On Mon - Wed you ate like a champ with minimal cheat foods so it would make sense it took your body almost 3 days to adjust and get rid of the sugar. When the sugar is finally out of your system your super strong.

How would you know any of this if you did not keep a training/nutrition log sheet. You just wouldn't and think Mondays were just bad for you. By keeping this information you can plan better know that Mondays workout is affected by Sundays Cheat meals you could possibly plan your cheat meals on other days or maybe not schedule your hardest workouts right after having a cheat meal.

Keeping a journal of all your training and nutrition will teach you how your body works. There is no better tool out there and its the best price FREE!
