I took the weekend off. Needed to recover but I’m motivated to get to walking tomorrow.
When my wife and I were walking one of my neighbors stop us to talk and he’s interested in starting carnivore and asked if he could start walking with us. I’m excited about that.

Too tired to go dancing tonight!

Posted

I have been doing mostly full body lifting coupled with the walking and the pushups/air squats along the walk.

I have just worked out on my days off and just recently started working out before work when I am on days.

I may work out/walk three or four days in a row and then three-four-five days of just working. As of late I don't feel like I'm 'getting it done' so I have started to do splits and keep the body parts about 72 hours apart. The big change will be working out before or after shift to maintain that lift/rest rotation. I lifted at from about 5AM til a little after 6AM on both Saturday and Sunday. It was back and biceps on Saturday and chest and triceps on Sunday. Between getting up earlier, the actual lifting followed by a 12 hour shift I am feeling it this morning. 

Maybe it was the more than I am use to per muscle group, or the getting up and going a little earlier, but I'm tight and sore throughout my upper body. 

Today I'm going to catch up on a few things around the house, pick up limbs and what nots from last nights storm and maybe even set the rear end in the 1950 Chevrolet chassis I just built. 

Babbling on, but without the fatty carnivore approach I don't think/would not have had the energy to get to this point at 55. I always add I stumbled onto the health benefits thru ignorance and luck but the way I feel now vs. ten months ago might be lottery like.

I challenge you to dance with a weighted vest!

That’s funny you said that. I used to have a dance partner (Argentine Tango) and I would sometimes practice with a weighted vest to feel more grounded.

I was a combat engineer, I had a car to move me around lol. But yeah, basic training...

11 B here. We humped it until we became mechanized infantry. We get to go get shot at quicker that way.

Had a good walk with my neighbor today. I took it easy on him today since he’s just starting out but we had a good talk about nutrition.
Tomorrow it’s weight day for me.

Being in Wisconsin puts a crimp on outside stuff for me until about this time of year. The daily walks of a few miles have started up again and now we are just waiting for the heat of summer to arrive. My wife and I both love the heat, which is about a 3 month period between Memorial day and Labor day, LOL. I always sit for several hours directly in the morning sun and being a carnivore I do NOT sunburn at all. I just get a nice tan. It amazing because on a SAD diet I would burn within an hour in the direct sun.

I have never heard a correlation between carnivore and sun burn. I'm ten months in and did carnivore thru the summer last year.

I'm a ginger guy and burn easily. If I were to go out shirtless (beach/lake) I burn, I hurt, I peel and then I think I am a shade whiter afterwards. Been like that since I was a kid. I am a 'shirt all the time guy' now.

As my posts suggests, I like to experiment and find out. I will give it a whirl in a month or two and see if I have the same correlation between carnivore and the sun.

If I show up in pain, with my shoulders hurting from the typing with my fingers, I will know I don't fall into this category. LOL I guess we learn something new everyday. 

Thanks for the input.

That is very common and have experienced something similar.

I’m 75% German and 25% Scandinavian so I’m as white as it gets. Heck I’m so white I glow in the dark. 
I’ve always been a burn and peel kinda guy. If I rode my motorcycle home from work, 45 minutes, I had to put sunblock on. 
All of that changed with carnivore. I can now work all day in the Texas sun and I don’t burn like I used to. I’ll get a little red for a day and then it just turns brown. That’s in areas that where my skin is almost alway exposed to the sun. In areas that normally don’t see any sun I can still burn but it’s nothing like it was. Before I’d blister and peel and I’d have a skin reaction that would last for a week or more. Now it’ll turn red, not hurt, not blister and not peel. Goes away in a couple of days and that’s it. It’s amazing. I didn’t wear any sunblock at all last summer. I’m getting my shirt off and wearing shorts in the sun every chance I get this year. 
I’ve read that wearing sunglasses will block the UV receptors in your eyes that turns on the melatonin in your body to protect your skin.  That’s a double bonus for me because carnivore has cured me of my day blindness and I don’t wear sunglasses anymore.

Same same.
