I have Juuust enough time to write something more comprehensive. So, without violating OPSEC, some of the training I've been doing:
Diet: I eat anything dead or seriously slowed down right now.
Breakfast: Standard army breakfast meal. Cooked powdered eggs, sausage patties or turkey bacon, banana, jalapenos and salsa for flavoring, two cups of milk and a carnation Instant Breakfast packet divided up between the two of them for vitamins.
Lunch: I snack throughout the day on 1 pop tart, a tuna salad lunch kit, a granola bar, some dried-fruit and nut mix, a couple prunes individually wrapped, a gatorade, and an apple sauce packet.
Dinner: Standard army dinner. One meat and usually potatoes to accompany it, potato salad and other sides like that, and maybe dessert with more milk.
I haven't been consuming as many vegetables as Ive been meaning to >.> So maybe I'll start correcting that at dinner.
Gear I'm wearing whenever I do my training lanes:
Protective Vest with huge bullet-proof plates.
My weapon, as well as the attached grenade launcher.
A helmet that isn't bulletproof, but is heavy enough to be.
Long sleeve uniform and boots.
Camel back water source and an assault pack backpack full of lunch and extra protective gear (gloves, etc.)
Sort of work I've been doing:
- Walking everywhere I go. I walk close to 5-7 miles a day, give or take.
- Road marching. When we leave to training, I have to keep up with people way taller than I am.. so I'm usually half-lunging everywhere then.
- Whatever training they have for us. Some days it is physical stuff that tires us out, sometimes its classroom stuff.
so far, I can tell I haven't lost any weight here, which is a GOOD thing, but I'm still nervous I'll drop weight by the time I leave. I'll spend the month of October working on strength training while maintaining weight, going back to my more civilian goals.. I'll get it right eventually.
I'd like to score a 300 on this next PT test. It isn't hard for my age bracket, so I'm going to really try for it.
