Week 6, Day 1

With my carb load last night my energy was pretty good today. I had an early start and I didn’t have my normal protein shake during my morning workout so I took a PowerAde Zero and sipped it throughout my workout and cardio. I a little more red meat today than I would prefer in one day. Don’t get me wrong I love steak but I try to limit my red meat intake. My order of protein did show up though so I got my 7 meals in today. I cut out some fats and carbs so I don’t eat the ruby red grape fruit anymore in the afternoon. To fill up I had a cup of broccoli with my afternoon shake. This sounds gross but the fiber is good to keep me regular because of the amount of protein I take in, I don’t want to get backed up but also it helps to feed my stomach and keep me from craving. Tomorrow is legs and I’m looking forward to it. I know I’m going to dread it once I get going but I always feel great afterwards. I’ll increase the weight for all my lifts from last week but drop my reps to 8 for each set. Next week I’ll increase the weight again and drop my reps to 6. See the details of tomorrow’s workout below today’s meals.
