I'm excited for you, Mermaid!! It's always easier to accomplish goals when they're well-defined...and I absolutely cannot wait to meet you in July!!

Q, read below, I was with ya today, lady


Sounds silly but I am so excited, I can barely breathe.

Alarm went off, 5.30am, snoozed for 10, then rolled out. Got to the gym and did 20 mins on elliptical. It was damn hard, I can tell you. Ate egg whites and a kiwi.

My only problem is now that I am so geared up for this, I want to read the board at every possible moment and there are so many journals and other good stuff that it is taking too much time out of my work day!! I'll have to ration myself, LOL.

No doubt, the July trip is excellent motivation for me. I really need this.

Damn. Posted in everyone else's log and then almost forgot to update my own, duh.

Day 1 - Tuesday 18 April

Meal 1 – 1 cup whites, 1 yolk; 1 kiwi fruit
Meal 2 – 3oz sardines, 1 large tomato
Meal 3 – 1 cup chopped chicken breast, 1 cup cucumber, 1 tbsp mayonnaise
Meal 4 – 3 scoop whey, 1 cup frozen raspberries; 1oz almonds
Meal 5 – 4oz chicken breast, 1 slice rye bread, 1 tbsp cashew butter
1665cals
P: 177g 44%
C: 65g 14%
F: 78g 42%
Fibre: 25g

AM Cardio – 20mins elliptical w/ arms – >70rpm @ level 3
Smith machine shoulder press – 3x10
DB lateral raise – 3x10
Machine rear deltoid – 3x10
Cardio – 20mins bike - >80rpm @ level 7

I was a bit silly. First day, low/no carb day, still wanted to lift in the evening. I was so hungry by 6pm that my stomach hurt. At the gym, and planning on chest and back, I was as strong as a chip. Got pissed off with myself, did a simple but still taxing (only 'cos i was so damn hungry) shoulder workout followed by more cardio. I felt so sick.

Succumbed to a rye slice (no wheat/dairy) with my chicken. I feel OK now and have learned a lesson. Low/no carb days are for cardio only or rest days. Need carbs for lifting.

Aren't low carb days fun? I definitely agree with you...no carb days are for rest or low intensity cardio. Sometimes going into hiding is good for no carb days as well so that no one else feels the wrath.

For me no carbs =

I know! I want to read everyone's log and respond and it takes me close to an hour every day!!!
Great job on the a.m. cardio.

Go read Sassy's carb cycling post in my sig.

OK, RE-READ the post - didn't properly sink in. Carb cycle the COMPLEX carbs, gotcha

What's wrong with sardines? LOL! I love them. No one else in my office does though
