Intro Post

Here we are, by popular demand ( of a whole 5 people.Maybe.) a food and workout journal blog for everyone's favorite trainer! (Me. Duh.)
What will this blog be about? You ask. I'll tell you. It's going to be me rambling on about what I know, am learning, trying, doing, training, etc. , in this elitist world of  fitness and personal training.
If you don't know me, you can check out my bio/about me for a tidbit of personal info. Any other questions? Leave a comment or hit me up at H.lawren.miller@ gmail dot com .
Why do my clients want to see what I eat and how I train?
 A few things.

One) I have Celiac disease, and have battled nasty cases of candida albicans and leaky gut. This means eating for an active lifestyle AND eating socially seems like a burden. It's not, and I want to show the world how easy it can be.

Two) I have almost always trained exclusively for strength and power, and ate whatever I wanted(except the things I'm allergic to.) Until now. I recently went through a muscle-gaining phase and am now ready to lean out. I may or may not try to find a competition to enter soon. It's something I've wanted to do for a while but don't really know how to get started...so bear with me. In the meantime, it should be interesting to see how someone who is used to eating 2600-3000 calories per day and NOT monitoring nutrients holds up to reducing to 2000 calories per day with a specific goal for fats, sodium, carbs, sugars, and protein.

so anyway, if you have anything constructive to share, please do! This won't be 100% accurate, some of the numbers will be rounded up or down, some of the measurements will be eyeballed, and I'll still more than likely eat whatever I want on the weekends. This level of specificity is new to me, so have fun watching my journey!

Peace.
