Update here for the last few days.

Friday: Started the in season training part of the Ultimate MTB program today. Hadn't lifted in a little over a week, so I didn't hit the weights super heavy, but used 90% of what I normally would have. I'm really digging the in season strength sessions. I think they should be just enough to keep my strength levels up, yet I was able to get through the entire thing with warm up, and stretching, in about 35 minutes. Felt really good in the gym today to, strong, and lots of energy. 2260 calories, 231g protein, 277g carbs, and 27g fat today.

Saturday: Legs are a bit sore from the weights yesterday. I didn't "train" parsee today, but I got plenty of exercise. I went out and did some trail work, on one of the local trail days. Basically 25 minutes hike to and from the work site, and did about 4 hrs of work. I went out last night, and didn't get a ton of sleep, so by the time I was finished at the trail day I was absolutely exhausted. Haven't been that tired in a while. Either way, it was great exercise, and I moved some seriously large rocks around, and did a lot of bench work. 2400 calories, 205g protein, 278g carbs, 53.5g fat today.

Sunday: My rest day was today. Was still at work though and on my feet for 9 hours. Stuck right to my planned nutrition for the day which was huge since the time I tend to cheat the most is at work. I think this diet of incorporating some fattier and higher sugar food into my day is working really well and keeping me from doing any sort of bingeing. 2285 calories, 212g protein, 249g carbs, 49.5g fat.

Monday: Was exhausted today, and actually slept through my alarm and missed my class. I guess my body really needed a couple extra hours of sleep. Went to work, came home and took a nap as I was still feeling pretty beat. Went to Yoga tonight which was great, and I felt very good in. Again stuck right to my nutrition plan for the day and didn't cheat while I was at work. Felt very good by the end of the day, and feeling ever leaner. I just hope I'm not really losing any strength, I've noticed specifically that my traps look smaller, and I think I'm going to start doing some bodybuilding based trap work. Probably not really useful, but I really like the look of big traps, and it is something that should be relatively quick and easy to do. 2250 calories, 221g protein, 256 g carbs, 40g protein.

Overall it has been an excellent few days of training and nutrition, and I am looking forward to another solid rest of the week. Cheers.
