Yep, I’m already at week 3. Oh, how time passes!

Last week was perfect. I got all of my workouts done, I ate exactly how I was supposed to, and I even ‘cheated’ a bit on Saturday night (Halloween). Actually, eating candy this weekend made me realize how much progress I’ve made already. It made me feel absolutely horrible! My body just doesn’t know how to handle it. I felt like I was hungover all day yesterday… and it wasn’t from booze! Stupid sugar. It definitely makes me not want to eat crappy food for a very long time.

I’m starting this week strong, having done my cardio this morning and eaten well today. I woke up not feeling so great (icky stomach) this morning, so we’ll see how that plays into the week. I’m still planning on lifting tonight, but if I’m not feeling much better I may have to move it to another day. Here’s my workout plan for the week:

Monday: AM-MI Cardio (on empty); PM-Chest/Abs

Tuesday: AM-MI Cardio (on empty)

Wednesday: AM-LI Cardio (on empty); PM-Back/Shoulders/Abs

Thursday: Legs; HI Cardio

Friday: AM-LI Cardio (on empty); PM-Biceps/Triceps/Abs

Saturday: AM-MI Cardio (on empty)

Sunday: Legs & HI Cardio

My calories intakes will be the same as the previous weeks…. although today I’m not excited about eating much of anything. I’ll increase calories on M/W/F/Sun, and decrease them on T/R/Sat, adding in an additional cutting day due to excess calories consumed last Saturday.

I think that’s it! I’m excited about starting a new week and hope this bug doesn’t hang around to ruin everything. Good luck to all of you who are on your own journey towards better health.
