I took 2 off days at the beginning of the week. I probably was overtraining. Or close too, anyway. I felt my immune system was slowing down, and I gained a little weight. Anyhow, it did me good, as I came back energized and ready today for an awesome HIT chest workout.

I’ve also made minor tweaks to my diet 5-6 days ago. I introduced coconut oil for cooking two meals in my deal (thus about 2 tbsp). I also added 4 doses of 2000mg CLA throughout the day. Finally, I did almost totally cut carbs of my 2 last meals of the day (the last one is cottage cheese, and it contains about 6g of carbs).

With these changes, and despite the off days, I’ve been able to lower my BF% to 14.7% (always according to my impedance scale). Still 2.7% to go, but I’m on the right track.

While watching Breaking Bad season 1, I’m currently doing 6 sets of :
- 1:30 minutes of skip roping fast
- Wait until heart rate is back to ~100 bpm
- 20 pushups
- 20 triceps dips
- Wait until heart rate is back to ~100 bpm

My body’s adapting fast: my heart rate is dropping back to normal much faster than 2 weeks ago after the end of an interval.
