After almost 2 weeks of a pretty strict diet I felt that I needed to get in a day with some extra calories. From my knowledge of dieting, it's good to overeat every 10 days or so, so that your metabolism doesn't slow down and begin storing the food you are taking in as fat. I ended up eating healthy throughout the day just I ate larger portions than normal. I did go out last night and ended up drinking a little more than I would have liked, but it was the day to do it as I was intending on having a high caloric intake day yesterday. I ended up having 10 drinks from about 8-2 so it was spread out over a long period of time. I'm feeling a little run down this morning from the drinking last night but not to bad, as I got a little food in before bed, plenty of water, an aspirin and a multivitamin. I still plan on training today but not until later in the day when my energy levels are feeling good, and I plan on jumping back on the diet today.

Training yesterday was good, when I got to the gym all of the stationary bikes were taken so I decided to do my intervals on the Concept 2 rowing machine my gym has. I really like the rowing machine as it is a great full body workout, but I don't use it much because the thing hurts my ass so much. After the 21 minutes of warm up and intervals on the thing my butt was in an incredible amount of pain. Either way my intervals were really good and I felt strong. After I did my core work as I have been doing all week. I cut the Turkish Get Ups shorts because my shoulders were toasted from Thursdays workout and when I went to do a set with the 45lb Kettlebell I was having trouble holding it up. I just did 2 sets 25x3 and 45x3/side, then I did 2 sets of decline plate twists (sit on a decline bench, I use a 45lb plate, hold the plate out about 8-10 inches in front of your chest, position yourself in the middle of a sit up, and holding that position twist from left to right), and finished with one round of the core stability work. Overall the workout was great, I felt strong and had lots of energy.

One a side not my glutes and hamstrings are incredibly sore from Thursday's workout. I really noticed it last night sitting at the bar I was ins some serious pain. Definitely going to have to do a good bit of stretching before I hit the weights today. Cheers.
