The Cut - Day 8 - Mon 11/10
This is sad….
I’m looking at my breakfast:
1/4 cup steel cut oats with cinnamon & stevia
1 whole egg & 4 egg whites, scrambled
22oz black coffee
Man, I used to RULE breakfast. A HUGE breakfast. A healthy breakfast. Would need to get up at 4am to make it breakfast.
*sigh*
Perhaps I approached this with a bad attitude, but I woke up tired & hungry, much more so than typically. The day is not off to a good start. This is sleeping in late, mind you. I made extra coffee, but I’m not in the mood….
After getting the boys to school I needed to do some shopping. I’m running on fumes. My breakfast energy peaked & went well over an hour ago. The morning is dragging. I am looking forward to Chest & Tris primarily to get my hands on that Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie PWO shake. I need it.
Thank goodness I have that coffee left over. Another 22oz of caffeine pre work out. I NEVER do that. Now the shake.
I almost feel like a carb junkie, rolling my sleeve up, flicking my veins (see my Progress pics….they’re EASY to find), insert the straw, gotta get that fix….aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh *eyes roll back*
Now to focus. I have about 20 minutes until this hits. Stretch my shoulders. Have a great stretch. Day is looking brighter. Maybe its the caffienesweetpotatocarb80shairband delerium…
I am determined to have a good training session. I am NOT gonna let this lack of cals & carbs weaken me. Focus….hard….
And I do..
I had a great workout. Set a few PRs, otherwise held my ground. Emphasized form hard. I’m happy.
Of course the leu of a 2nd shake is icing (hhmmmmmm…icing) on the cake (hhhmmmmmm….cake).
The rest of the day goes alright. Hopefully this 1st day of my new cals & carbs will be the worst.
8 days down, 15 to go (1/3 of the way there)

Way to stay focused, and on task. Way to keep your mind over matter even when things started out rough. Keep moving forwards, and enjoying your journey.
