Tuesday: Woke up this morning and tipped the scale at 181.4. Training today I did my Tahiti intervals which were good. My legs felt pretty worked from Yoga yesterday, and because of this I wasn't able to get my heart working quite as hard as I wanted to. Did a little bit of trap work, and a few sets of bench afterward, along with some core work. Pretty good day overall. Net calories, protein 209g, carbs 319g, fat 45.5g, fiber 39g.
Wednesday: Got myself up early this morning and went to the gym to do a weight session. Couldn't believe how sore my chest was, along with my traps. Chest really amazed me though how sore it was, shows how little work its been getting. All I did was 3 sets of 135x8 BB bench. Weights went well, went heavy on the upper body stuff, and lighter on the legs seeing as my legs pretty much get worked everyday. Went to Yoga in the evening which was good. Was a little tired, but I felt really refreshed afterward. Just as I was beginning to think my hips were loosening up a bit, we a did a pose today I've never done, and holy hell my hips flexors were burning. Great day overall with the double training session and good nutrition. 2294 net calories, 235g protein, 309g carbs, 37.75g fat, 44g fiber.
Thursday: After 9 solid days of nutrition this was my cheat day. I ate relatively healthy food throughout the day, but ate a ton. Definitely not doing this again because I felt like shit in the evening. Next cheat day that roles around I'm going to stick to my main diet, but add in a couple of extra little things. Despite the huge amount of food I ate, I was amazed how fast I digested it. Went out and had a few beers as well. UVM was playing in the Frozen Four so a bunch of us went down to the bar to watch the game. Skipped the gym today, because of time constraints, and the fact the my body was just run down. After class I passed out for 3 hours, so my body definitely needed some extra rest. When it comes to rest I really try and listen to my body, if I'm tired I'll sleep, even if I've gotten what equates to a good nights rest.
Friday: Sporadic day, again didn't hit the gym because of time constraints. Couldn't really count my calories either because of what I had to eat. Stuck to my nutrition plan for the majority of the day, but I went to a fundraiser in the evening for the FOTW and I had no way of knowing what I was eating calorically. Ate a lot of protein though, and a good amount of carbs. 1360 net calories, 98g protein, 194g carbs, 36.5g fat, 25g fiber plus whatever dinner was.
Saturday: Hit the weights today, soreness finally gone away. Weight session was good, I motored through it with good energy, and was feeling strong. Again couldn't really count my calories today completely because I went to my grandparents for a belated birthday dinner. 1286 net calories, 128g protein, 192g carbs, 11g fat, 16g fiber, plus whatever dinner was.
Sunday: Non-training day, but at work and on my feet for 9 hours. Nutrition was right on today, and I feel great. 1836 net calories, 215g protein, 212g carbs, 35g fat, 41g fiber.
Monday: Hit up Yoga this evening which was good. Really got the core worked hard. Afterward I did some trap work. Did 3 sets of DB shrugs 50x10 75x10 75x10 and 3 sets of BB High Pulls 95x5 135x5 135x5. Felt good overall after the gym, and both my core and traps felt good and worked. Nutrition was a bit off today. Although my caloric intake was fine, some of the food I ate was garbage. When I was at my grandparents a few days ago they gave me a cake. I had a good bit of it today, hard for me to hold back when that kind of food is in the house. Definitely throwing the rest of it away tomorrow. Kept my caloric intake at a good level, but fat and carbs were too high in proportion to my protein intake. 2000 net calories, 150g protein, 249g carbs, 58.5g fat, and 30g fiber.
So overall a good week of training and nutrition, although I didn't workout quite as much as I would have like this past week. I think I look a little leaner and I feel great. World Cup was dope to watch this past weekend, and got me so pumped to race and train hard these last few weeks. Looking forward to another good week of training, and it looks like we are getting some serious sunshine this week so I can get out on the trails a bit. Cheers.
