Tuesdays and Thursdays are crazy hectic for me. Class from 11-5 back to back. Makes it hard to eat properly. Today, I packed a salad with some chicken as well as a bag of nuts to snack on intermittenly. My healthy fat intake has been struggling, so hopefully I can get it where it needs to be by keeping some fats on me.
Trying to mix up my carb sources while keeping it health the best I can. The tortillas are really good. Low calorie, decent carbs, low fat and they taste good. First time cooking brown rice and it was surprisingly good. Need to let it soak a little longer next time though.
Once again, I spent a lot of energy watching my form today. Saw some inconsistencies in my incline bench. I need to clean it up a good bit. As well, I was pushing heavier weight on flat bench today and could tell I was putting my shoulders in to it too much. When it came time for shoulder exercises, they were toast.
With carb cycling, you are suppose to throw your scale away. I still check out of habit. I was 179 this morning and instinctually deflated from gaining weight. When I checked the mirror though, I saw a cut in my hip that use to not be near as defined. I know its too early to attribute anything to CC, but my biggest fear as been relieved... I won't get fat from eating a lot if its clean food. I've been eating more the past two weeks on a daily basis than I have the past year by far. Yet, I still seem to be getting leaner. Only time will tell whether or not its CC or just eating clean causing this, but I'm more motivated than ever.
Slight strain in the left side of my groin today obviously from the squats yesterday. Been doing butterfly stretches randomly today to keep it loose.
Tomorrow is zero carbs and rest day. Good thing because I have a term paper due on Thursday.
