I went ahead and hit the scale last night, before my workout and late in the day, 11 o’clock at night actually. I hit the scale and much to my demise I see a big fat 315 again. As I went through the workout this kept me motivated. Remember my goal to is to get 30 pounds off before the birth of my kid and right now I am about 3 weeks in and have lost a big fat 0!
I did not expect a big number for several reasons but definitely though I could have got at least 10 pounds;
1. I carb cycled for 3 days last week and ate around 500 grams of carbs for two days and around 400 the third day.
2. I ate late and not well several days last week. I was so hungry last week, all the time, mind you I had to eat like seven times a day to pack in that many carbs I thought I would hate food, but kept needing more.
3. Protein intake was not good. I did not consume nearly enough protein most days. I was too focused on my carb intake and neglected my protein.
4. Had a tough time on the weekend keeping my eyes on the prize. With the Yankees and Sox playing I had a heck of a time staying away from things that got me in this predicament in the first place.
All that said after the workout I dropped 5 pounds of water and felt a little better. However I know I am going to have to have a little willpower this week to make the goal attainable. This is a big week I have to get at least 10 pounds off by Sunday night. If I can get to about 300 pounds by next week I will have a great chance and making my goal and therefore surpassing it.
Supplements these past couple weeks
Whey protein has been the main protein source, as I do not like to make my protein all from one source, I was too lazy to go buy and make other sources.
Mitotropin, omega-3, borage capsules, Accelerator 3, Optimal Support Packets, Aminovol (I step this down to one dose and only 5 tablets. (These were making me extremely tired and not sure why)
Nutrition for the next week
This week I will go with high carbs on my leg day which will be Tuesday and other days will maintain a low carb high protein meals. I do not focus on calories so much as good protein and complex carbs.
I always make sure to consume at least 1-2 gallons of water per day and will mix in some no calorie beverages as well. Peanut butter is my weakness and I have gotten in the habit of eating natural peanut butter and eat several different kinds. For dessert I plan to make the “Sludge” which is awesome.
I plan to eat a lot of salad on other day, you can pick a big bag at Wal-Mart for cheap and my goal is to make sure this is gone by the end of the week. Low fat dressing will be added.
Training
I do plan to super all my upper body workouts this week. I will train my chest and back twice this week. I will do them on Wednesday and Friday. I will finish my shoulders and put more emphasis on my arms on Saturday.
My sets will be 3-4 with 10-15 repetitions. All super setted. I have been getting a great deal stronger and gaining strength all the while. Likewise I do not feel I am getting too bulky just more and more solid especially in my lower(legs) and upper portions.
