i’ve been cycling my carb intake the last couple of weeks with amazing results.  doing like 2-3 days very low carbs around 75 grams all day, which is usually fruit and oatmeal right after my hour cardio in the morning and if i lift in the evening, the rest of the day is just protein like fish, chicken, eggs and powder with water.  than i’ll increase it to around 150-200 grams for like a day or two, usually adding more veges with black beans, and peas, more fruit, and i just got some sweet potatoes that i’m gonna start incorporating.  than i’ll bump it up to like 300-500 grams, which i’ll eat more of what i just mentioned and add some bread like 12 grain or something like that, with a cheat meal or two thrown in on the higher carb days.  i’ve read about this in numerous magazines and heard people on here saying that they did it, and wow what a difference.  i’ve found that on the lower carb days i’ll drop usually between 5-10lbs of bodyweight, which i believe to be water, and it comes right back once i had carbs so even though i’m getting much leaner in a hurry, i’m maintaining the same weight as when i started at the beginning of the year which is around 195-200.  sometimes i feel like i’m in a weird trance like state throughout the day esp on the low carb days, which is a little wierd but, my energy is more than ever i’m lifting the same if not more in the gym, which i thought would decrease because of all the cardio i’m doing.  going to vegas the end of april so i expect to be close to where i want to be by than.

just got done with my usual monday workout, which is legs today i did squats, leg press, hack squats, leg ext, sissy squats, seated leg curl, dumbell lying leg curl, stiff leg deads, donkey calf raise, leg press calf raise, seated calf raise, and standing calf raise plus 30 min of cardio, so now i get my cheat meal of the week which is gonna be beer and wings, god i can’t wait.  i throw one or two cheat meals a week in to shock it up a bit, my diet for the last 10 weeks has been right on the money!  so i just can’t wait till i go out! 

turned 34 today and just got my workout in, which was really good considering the last 3 days have been really low in carbs, looking forward toward to going high carbs for the next day or two.  a little bummed however because i wanted to check out the arnold classic, but got shows, which tonight should be really good because it’s in our home town, which is always awesome!  i always have bad luck on my birthday, but hopefully today isn’t like the past, i guess we’ll see!
