DAY 3 - Rest/Moderate Carb & Protein, Low Fat

Weight = 168.5 LBS (love those fat-burning circuits)

WORKOUT

Thankfully today was a day of rest! After not having much soreness yesterday, my hamstrings are all kinds of sore today! Riding in the car to and from Cincinnati didn't help much. Tomorrow's workout could be tough in the leg department! I'm going to try Nick's (program developer) advice and take about 1500 mg of Vitamin C pre-workout tomorrow and see if that helps.

I actually was hoping my calf muscles would be at least a little sore! I have scrawny legs so I'd like to see those chicken sticks grow during the next month.

Tomorrow's workout is going to be a blast with lots of high rep sets at low weights.

DIET

Today's diet suited me just fine since I got to eat what seemed like a ton of carbs. I dropped my calories down to around 1,200 today. I wasn't really hungry except for having to wait longer than normal for lunch due to field trip issues.

For breakfast I had 1 cup of oatmeal, 1/2 cup each of plain yogurt and blueberries, 1 whole egg, and 2 egg whites (with C's homemade salsa!).

Snacks today (2 each) were 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and 1 peach during the day. Before bed I'll have 4 egg whites and another peach. Can you tell we had a bunch (actually a 1/4 peck!) of peaches??

Lunch was a can of tuna mixed with brown mustard and lots of spices on one slice of Bob's Red Mill 3-seed bread. I also had a green pepper and tomato followed by a "dessert" of cantaloupe, blueberries and grapes.

Dinner was 3 oz of chicken, 1-1/2 cups of green beans, 3 cups broccoli, and 1 sweet potato with cinnamon for dessert. I loves me some veggies!

Tomorrow it's back to low-carb eating which I'm cool with. We'll see how I do with it being the 2nd day at 1,200 calories.
