Missing my NOXplode fix
Wednesday Evening:
I didn’t plan on being able to lift yesterday evening now that soccer season has started (coaching youth). Anyway, after practice I made it in for a late evening lift. I hit my biceps and triceps. Again I went heavy and high intensity to get through the lift in just over an hour. When doing overhead dumbbell tricep press, I strained a tendon in my elbow. Not terrible but irritating and I now these minor injuries can worsen if I’m not careful.
Ate clean all day –
Breakfast: Egg scramble (1 organic egg, 4 egg whites) – green onion, spinach, smoked salmon, low fat Swiss cheese and organic salsa. ½ of a whole wheat English muffin with butter substitute.
Lunch: 1 chicken breast (skinless & boneless), ½ cup frozen peas, ½ cup of 1% milk fat cottage cheese, 1 tablespoon salsa.
Dinner (after lift so it was late 10:30): Baja Fresh Chx Side-by-Side Salad and a side of steak (only ate about 1/3 of steak – save for next day)
Snacks: 1 banana, South Beach Bar, handful of cashews.
I also consumed my supplements which include protein shakes.
Thursday:
Woke up late from late evening workout. Went in at the lunch hour and did 40 minutes of cardio (heart rate average 142bpm) – 20 minutes on Cybex (5 min level 75, 5 min lvl 65, 5min lvl 55, 5 minute lvl 50) total 436 calories / 20 minutes on Treadmill varying speeds 265 calories.
Evening lift: Shoulders but careful with the sore elbow tendon. It was a good workout but I felt a bit weak; not tired but weak. I pushed myself and hit the shoulders well but I didn’t feel 100%. This may be from a combination of low carbs and running out of my NOXplode stash (now I wait until Sep1 to stock up because of GNC’s Gold Card program).
Eating clean all day – Low calories – maybe that’s why I felt weak.
Breakfast – protein shake and 1 piece of organic whole grain bread with butter substitute.
Lunch - Egg scramble (1 organic egg, 4 egg whites) – spinach, left over steak bits from Baja Fresh, low fat Swiss cheese and organic salsa.
Dinner – 8.6oz of Pork Loin Top Loin Chops (trimmed fat), 1 cup or more of steamed broccoli with butter substitute and light coating of grated parmesan.
Snacks: 1 banana, handful of cashews and whatever I eat from now until bed.
I also consumed my supplements which include protein shakes.
