TweetThis week
This is my final week of dieting. I'm on vacation starting tomorrow.
I still went to the gym or played basketball this week but work has been insane so I haven't had time to really log on each morning and log my workouts.
So I'll just summarize some of what I did, Monday was my legs and back work, I didn't go super heavy with my deadlifts but everything for the workout had higher reps that usual. I also cut down a bit on cardio actually to get as much blood into the muscles as much as possible. Since I'm low on carbs I wanted to deplete everything out of the muscle that I could.
Tuesday was basketball. Ran a lot of sweat a lot. I was drenched, which is basically everytime with basketball but this felt like extra sweat on my compression tank. Good cardio
Wednesday was chest and shoulders, I basically followed the same rules as Monday, really trying to squeeze everything.
I lowered my calories a bit during Mon thru Wed as well. Kept protein high but my calories were super low and I felt it. The lower calories couples with the different work schedule and some stress had me worn out. People all week were telling me that I looked tired. I felt sluggish.
Thursday was my birthday and I have some stuff to do before vacation so Wednesday was my last day of work out. I still did my stretching routine on Thursday and even did some YOGA style work as well. I re-introduced carbs back into my diet last night for my birthday dinner. Today I came into work extra early so I can get the vacation started earlier but I feel much better now with some carbs.
Time to relax on vacation and start reintroducing more food into my diet as we get into the fall and winter.
