West Georgia BJJ Club in Full Swing!

          This has been an exciting week for my training.  A couple friends of mine have launched their very own local BJJ club here in West Georgia through the city recreation center!  (Facebook link)  To say the least, I am thrilled to have this opportunity to train locally in our small town without commuting anywhere.  So far in the first week we have a small number of "seasoned" athletes but a growing interest in the community.  I hope this explodes bigger than any of us could have ever imagined.
          With these events in mind my current training schedule looks something like this:

• Monday - BJJ 8:00 - 9:30
• Tuesday - BJJ 7:30 - 9:30
• Wednesday - BJJ 7:30 - 9:30
• Thursday - BJJ 7:30 - 9:30
• Friday - Rest / Yoga Day
• Saturday - Rock Climbing or Rest (pending how sore I am from other training)
• Sunday - Rock Climbing 6:00 - 8:00

          I am not planning any competitions in the foreseeable future, but this schedule is of course subject to change pending my class / work schedule and such.  As far as my Dietary Plan, you can read about my most current Diet Plan in this recent post.  I started this plan about a week before the official launch of the BJJ club which I think was a good idea.  It allowed my body to adjust at a more steady pace.  Rather than diving head first in to a new training program and diet, I paced my body to allow it to adjust to the dietary changes before adding in the training.  However, I have had some difficulty sticking to the diet after introducing the training element.  I think that this has a lot to do with some external factors such as school load, stress, and looking / interviewing for a new job.  I don't feel like its worth throwing out the window since I've only been trying this diet for a couple weeks.  I want to give it a more honest try than that.

          I think that the way the macronutrients and insulin manipulation is set up will compliment my training very well; its just a matter of adjusting to it.  Also, as I stated earlier I am not planning on competing any time soon and that gives me a little more lenience   Not being "in-season" or in "training camp" I have a lot more flexibility to try/fail/try-again with different diet plans.  So, I'll be sticking to this one and am just chalking up the past week to various external and internal variants that affected my mood / appetite, etc... This is a time to keep on pushing and to enjoy this fabulous opportunity to just train for the sake of training and love of the sport.
