WEIGHT: 167.2 (no change from previous day)

FIRST WORKOUT (before work)

- 30 minutes of Cardio on the Elliptical. Heart rate averaged about 170 BPM. (home gym)

SECOND WORKOUT (after work)

Joints were pretty sore so I took the evening off from working out.
MEALS:

- First Meal: Chicken only (Large Honey Bourbon Chicken at Quiznos) & a Diet Coke

- Second Meal: Large Bowl of cottage Cheese with low cal Blueberry Yogurt. Myoplex carbsense nutrition shake.

- Misc: various no cal drinks throughout the day and plenty of water.

- Vitamins and supplements throughout the day.

After work today I was all set to head to the gym for me evening work out. However something did not feel right. My joints were pretty sore, plus a few other minor nuances. So I decided to take the night off from working out and let my body take care of itself. When doing a program such as this it is VERY important you listen to your body. If something does not feel right take the day off.. You don’t want to injure yourself. If you do you won’t be able to workout at all.

Even though I am resting tonight I am still burning calories as my muscles are still busy recouping from my weight lifting the last few nights.

A friend at work gave me some of this.  Very interesting. It actually has Green Tea in it which is good for you. However it also has Aspartame in it as well which is bad for you.  It is never a win win situation when it comes to snacks like this.

Forgot to mention before the last post. After my first workout I took my morning body building supplements to help with muscle growth. With this program we don’t want to loose any muscle. We want to gain muscle. The more muscle you have the more calories you burn. The more calories you burn, the less fat you will have.

I got my gym bag, had a great morning workout so now I am off to Quiznos for my first meal (mostly protein) of the day.

I place my order for a large Honey Bourbon Chicken sandwich

As I have photographed several times before. Here is the before shot…

and after… I get just the right amount of Chicken and it tastes really good. The fork is our friend.
