Week 9, Day 3

Had a great workout today.  Really pushing the heavy weight.  I’m trying to build muscle strength and size during these next 4 weeks.  Killed it today on back!  I did have a bit of a struggle today after my afternoon cardio session.  I went kind of a long stretch between meal 4 and meal 5 which led to me feeling like I was gonna pass out after my cardio session.  So as you can see below I managed to scrounge up some granola bars of different types and I scarfed them down.  This isn’t a good thing but my blood sugar was so low that I really was feeling like I was gonna colapse.  It’s hard to plan your meals effectively on hectic days at work.   I plan to check my bodyfat % again this Friday so hopefully I’m still moving in the right direction.
