Ok sorry I haven’t logged in a long time….I’ve had so much going on….my uncle died and I’ve had the cold and flu for the passed couple of days…and it has sucked major ass.   I’m still training hard and keeping the diet going.  I’ve stopped losing weight but I’m getting leaner.  I might not make the middle weight class which is 122 but oh well….I guess I’ll be on the lower end of heavyweight.  I drained my glycogen levels this week by taking my carbs to 50,50,50,150,50,50,50,215.  Lets see if that will trick my body.  On my low carb days I was supplementing w/extra virgin coconut oil to help w/energy and fat metabolism.  It helped w/energy and I looked a little leaner by the end of that carb cycle.   I’m going to take my carbs to 5 days of 75 then 175 for 1 day.   My legs are definatley the last area to trim up…I’m actually getting a little worried.

  I’m increasing the intensity of my weightlifting and going w/heavier weight instead of high volume training.  I love doing different workouts…keeps my body guessing.  Plus I think the high volume was starting to take a toll on me and my back.  I’ve been having some serious back issues and pain.  Lucky I have an awesome massage therapist and chiropractor to help me get through the pain.  Nothing like a deep tissue massage….the greatest pain in the world!

Today I took purple wraath with wf pre workout and sipped on another scoop of pw during the workout to help w/recovery.  I’m still taking cee though.  I’ve been off of it before for a couple weeks and didn’t notice any drop in water weight.  So I’m going to try and stick w/it as long as I can.  I’m also going to up my cardio to 45 mins instead of 35 on my off days.  Will also be seperating my weightlifting and cardio, with the low carbs I’ve been noticing hypoglycemia kicking in in the middle of my cardio after I lift.  Ok so on with my workout finally!

For just getting over the flu and still having some sinus issues I had an awesome workout.  Probably from my carb up day….had 215 carbs today! It felt so great almost like I was cheating…but all I had was oatmeal, ezekiel bread, kwik carb/rice cakes (post workout only), some more oatmeal, 1 1/2 red potatoes, and then 1/3 c bran cereal.   Of course my protein sources included in that.  I’ll be up for 20 hours since I went back to work tonight, from being sick for 2 days and I only eat protein sources during the night, I got all my carbs in during the day.  Almost 1900 calories…thats alot but for being up 20 hours I have to eat every 3 hours.  My next workout is Tuesday, Quads/Glutes/Calves.  I’m splitting up my legs this week hoping that they start losing the fat, we’ll see…
