Its Friday FINALLY! My legs were like Jello when I first woke up this morning, I think the sudden increase in Cardio is leaving my body wondering what it did to deserve this. Hopefully next week will go smoother.
I did shoulders yesterday, they are sore this morning but nothing too bad, it makes me wonder if I am recovering quickly or if I'm doing something wrong, I'm not getting as sore as I used to, if someone is reading this and has an answer to that, let me know. The last thing I want to do is spend all this effort and get nowhere.
I mixed up the shoulder routine last night and added an extra exercise in hopes to thrash my delts but this morning they feel not that bad. The injection spot from my flu shot yesterday (on my shoulder) is more sore than the muscles are.
Lunch was rough today, but I guess it could have been worse. I ate a grilled chicken sandwich from Wendy's, I shared a medium fry with my wife. I scraped off the mayo on the sandwich cause I forgot to say no mayo but oh well. I'm not sure what were having for dinner but I'm pretty sure it will be fatty and loaded with carbs, my family loves everything with carbs, I used to practically live off bread, potatoes, and pasta. Its becoming extremely difficult to pick foods that we will all like but are still acceptable for my diet. That is one of the reasons why I decided to add another cardio session a day was to combat the higher carb/fat in my diet. Right now I am trying to keep my calories around 2000/day, I am attacking this pretty aggressively since I am burning more than 800 cal/day just in cardio alone. That is why my estimate is 10% BF in 8 weeks.
Although I know that my intake is low compared to someone that is trying to gain muscle, I am still on the primary focus of dropping weight for the next 6-8 weeks. I think I can get down to 9%-10% body fat in around 8 weeks and then I will re-adjust my diet for muscle gain.
On a funny note, I found some old pics of me when I was around 280lbs, they actually made me really mad to look at them but I must say they gave me a kick in the pants as far as upping' my workout. I am more determined now than I ever have been.
I also just passed the 17 months without smoking mark too! That was a tough thing to do but my body and workouts are much better now. It was a challenge working out, doing 30-45 min cardio, then hitting the weights really hard, then walking out and lighting up a cigg only to cough my lungs out from the smoke. What a joke I was. Its pathetic and embarrassing to think of who/how I used to be. Thank GOD that I came to my senses and started getting in shape.
