Week 5, Day 7

Today was kind of a hectic day. Had meetings before church and a meeting tonight after church. I don’t have any protein, which I really miss having because of the convenience of it, so I only got in 5 meals today. This is a big no no, so I ordered two 5 lb bottles this time. They should be arriving tomorrow sometime. I also reduced my calories starting today. Now the reduction in calories is done by cutting out a little of my fat intake (peanut butter, almonds, avocados) and my carb intake (oatmeal and sweet potatos during carb loads, but also very little from veggies). So if you follow my meals you’ll see a slight reduction in the amount or number of these foods in my daily regimend. This week with the weights we are conitnuing to work on strength and size so I’ll reduce the reps this week from 10 to 8 but increase the weight for each lift. Again I want to push myself to the limit without sacrificing the integrity of quality lifts and workouts.
Here were today’s meals:
7:30 am Meal 1: 6 egg whites, 1 yoke, 1 cups broccoli, and 1 tbsp. peanut butter
10:45 am Meal 2: 6 oz. chicken breast, 1 cups broccoli, and 16 almonds
