So, I went to Borders yesterday and looked at TNT. I liked the workouts in the back, but I'm just not ready to go that lo-carb... I really have only been "clean" with my carbs for a month, and I am going to try dropping about 100 calories/day from what I'd been doing (which was a kinda generous maintenance for me of closer to 2000 cal - I need to stick to 1650 / 1850 and see how that works) and maybe going below 40% carbs instead of going as low as TNT. But never say never... I'll take "official" remeasurements in a month... Also adding extra HIIT sessions...

Today - the LAST Phase 1 workout B8 (except special workouts to be done Thurs / Sat).

Deadlift: 3x8 135 145 145 -- the last one on set 3 was definitely the LAST one I could've possibly done!

Shoulder Press: 3x8 with 35# db's. No increase in weight, but less shaky by the end of the 3rd set.

Lat Pulldown: 3x8 @ 130 - improved from only 6 reps on 3rd set last time.

Lunges: 3x8 w/ 20# db's - all I can say is OOOOWWWWWWW!!! But I did 'em.

Ball crunches - tried these with my feet on the wall instead of on the floor - helped with intensity, will stick to this, maybe even drop to 1 foot only on the wall to increase intensity further.

And then... I've never tried any HIIT directly after a workout, but I got up early to leave time for it... Did 4 sets of Burpees with 60 sec rest between each. Oh... My... Gawd!!!! Yeeeaaaaahhh... gonna need some time to get used to that, but it's good for me, right?

Food yesterday was: 1655 cals, with 36% protein (164g), 33% carbs (150g), 30% fat (59g)... Still need to tweak it, but it's more in line with what I need to do.

Today - on track so far!
