I am going to be one sore mofo tomorrow morning.
And I also get to do that same workout AGAIN tomorrow. LUCKY ME.

I didn't eat enough during the day so I ended up loading up this evening. I think I was still a little full from last night's dinner (we went out for great *real* mexican food last night - had cuitlacoche and everything), our last hurrah before diving into the diet.

Today was -
egg white omelet & veg
salad w/tuna
turkey breast lunchmeat
burger w/lots of broccoli
1/2 cup cottage cheese
ezekiel bread w/lots of peanut butter

1200 cals: 50g fat, 64.5g carbs, 134.5g protein.

I almost hit my macros dead-on - a little too low on the protein & too high on the carbs though. I was shooting for 50/60/140 grams of f/c/p. Close enough!!

Wow - you have to do that same workout two days in a row ?!?!? Better you than me -- is there a reason for not giving you recovery for 48 hours or more (I haven't read UD2.0)? How often do you lift on the program?

The purpose of Monday & Tuesday is glycogen depletion. Then you go into a carb load phase with heavy lifting, then phase back down to low carb/depletion.

You lift weights 4 days a week (Mon, Tue, Thu, Sat). Thursday is the only day where cardio is required, iirc. It's optional on Wed & Sun and strongly recommended on Mon & Tues (YEAH RIGHT!!).

Well, it's supposed to be 65% of your 1RM, so I'm not sure if that counts as "heavy" but I'll be damned if I could even do 65%! I know my 1RM for squats is not 100 pounds, yet I was doing squats at 65 pounds and found that hard enough. And burny enough. Every single set was accompanied by lactic acid buildup burn, my favorite. Nausea came & went a few times but I never felt like I was going to physically throw up.

I can't wait for today's workout to be over. :-P

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I am not comfortable right now. I hurt. All over.


In other news, the project managers and other business analysts all pitched in and bought me a year-long "beer of the month" subscription for a wedding present. I was absolutely tickled.

Here's their list for september: Microbrewed Beer of the Month Club

They have three subscriptions: domestic, international, and domestic + international. Our gift was the dom/intl mix and we start getting our beer in October.

Looks interesting - we actually started getting Tommyknocker here in NEPA and I've heard some good things about it.

WOW. Your workouts look crazy. Crazy enough to have piqued my interest I don't think I am quite low enough BF to start UD 2.0, (at least I don't think) but I will hopefully be there soon.

That beer of the month club is a wonderful gift! That is definitely something my husband and I would enjoy, too. You will have to give us the full report

A while ago. But given I was squatting 12x100 in NROL fat loss, my 1RM has to be higher.

Thursday's workout was a tension workout:

front squat: 1x9x45, 1x10x55
leg curl: 2x10x40
leg extension: 2x10x20
seated leg curl: 2x10x25
calf raise: 1x10x20e, 3x10x25e
bench press: 10x20e, 10x25e
seated row: 2x10x70
incline bench press: 2x10x25e
lat pulldown: 2 chins + 8x90, 1x10x90
lateral raise: 2x10x10e
bicep curl: 2x10x10e
tricep kickback: 2x10x10e


Day's eats were:
eggwhite omelet w/veg
salad w/tuna & honey mustard (calorie-free dressing)
lunchmeat snack
Pre-WO shake
oatmeal w/protein powder
baked cheetos

Thursdays on UD2 have you eating low-carb through lunchtime, then the end of the day begins your carb ramp-up

Friday was a day off working out and I needed it. Thursday's workout felt pretty good, but my quads were still very sore and I was hoping to recover a bit more. The high carbs were a trip... I don't think I got to my calorie recommendations (2600 iirc) but I came close.

breakfast: cookie crisp + milk -- this is the first time I've ever had it and I was really looking forward to it. This was one of those cereals (of many) my parents never let us have as kids... it was disappointing. Tasted all right, but not as good as I'd hoped.

morning snack: power bagel from Einstin bros with low-fat honey walnut cream cheese. I love these things.
lunch: salad and oatmeal w/protein powder
no snack - too busy
dinner: chicken & brussel sprouts, cheetos
snack: more cheetos, and beer. I ate more but I can't remember what it was now.


We split a bomber of the Rogue Double Dead Guy - FANTASTIC. Highly recommended.

Saturday ended the carb load and I woke up feeling pretty good. Friday evening we had picked up our wedding rings and they were pretty tight on us Saturday morning - apparently we had a little more bloat than we wanted, probably from the alcohol or maybe from the sodium... or both. Oh well.

Saturday is a "zone style" eating day. I had a sugar-free caramel latte and some oatmeal (with protein) for breakfast. I absolutely love oatmeal.

I had a Balance bar for a snack. I ran a ton of errands Saturday & was out for 3 hours - blech. Costco, Target, Best Buy, Lukas Liquor, Crate & Barrel... a couple of other places. We're getting ready for our wedding fiesta and there were a lot of things to pick up. I did buy over $200 of wine + cider + beer; that was fun. I bought 12 6-packs (well, 11 6-packs plus two 4-packs) of beer, 2 6-packs and 1 4-pack of cider, and 4 bottles of wine. Should be enough, I think.

I had SO much fun picking out the beer. I got some IPAs, APAs, porters, wheats, belgians, browns.... most of which I've had before, but some of which I've been interested in trying or sounded good. I picked up a caramel porter from Saranac brewing and we tried it last night - HOLY COW it was good. mmmmmmm. also highly recommended.

Anyway.

My workout drinks were a little protein drink beforehand, then another for during my workout made with 15g lemon-lime gatorade + lo-carb monster drink. I drank about half of that and felt super-jittery after my workout. But I had a great workout!

A1. Squat - 2x5x105
A2. Calf Raise - 2x5x40e
B1. Bench Press - 2x5x85
B2. Bent-over Row - 2x5x75
C1. Incline Bench - 2x5x30e
C2. Lat Pulldown - 3 chins + 2x100, 2 chins + 3x100
D1. Push-Up - 2x5 (feet on the weights bench)
D2. Lateral Raise - 2x5x10e (tried 15e, that was a no-go)
E1. Barbell Bicep Curl - 2x5x45
E2. Close-Grip bench press - 2x5x65 (mmm, burny triceps)

Overall, it was a good workout and I think I could go up in weight just a little next time on a couple of things, hopefully, like the bench press and the B-O rows.

We drove out to Lawrence last night for dinner; I had a salad, pastrami sandwich, 3 beers, and half a slice of chocolate tart. Oh yeah and some chips & salsa. Probably more than my caloric intake should have been, but oh well...

This morning, Sunday, is continued "zone" eating for half the day, then tapering down into low carb. It's an optional cardio day (as with Wednesday) and I probably won't do anything too intense but plan to go on a walk and do some yardwork today.



So - my thoughts on UD2.0 after the first week... it definitely breaks up the monotony of typical dieting. I'm not sure I prefer it to doing low-carb calorie reduction throughout the week with 2 moderate cheat meals, though. The carb load on Friday was harder than I thought; I was never hungry and when I came home from work realized that I still had about 1000 more calories to go. UGH. 1000 calories of high-carb, low-fat, med-protein isn't as easy to do as one would think.

I'm traveling 3 days next week so I'm not sure how feasible it will be to continue with it as planned, but I'll try to be as close to it as possible.

Hey DM-

I'm catching up and I didn't realize your wedding was coming up so soon. You are beautiful in that dress, and the shoes, and the ring .... fantastic!

Your new program sounds cool too, although complicated.

Thank you Leah We're getting excited... we trial-wore our rings today for a while.


It IS complicated. I'm not sure I am interested in sticking with it. I was enjoying my low-calorie PN-style eating with NROL workouts and they were working. So I am thinking about going back... I dunno.

It's hard to care so much when I feel comfortable with the way I look and my strength. I feel now like my only goal is "don't get fat again"

BAHHH.

yesterday:
Front Squats: 3x15x45
Leg Curls: 3x15x30
Push-Up: 3x15x15e
Bent-over row: 3x15x45
Lateral Raise: 1x15x5e, 1x15x7.5e
Calf raise: 3x15x35e
Bicep curl: 2x15x10e
Tricep pushdown: 2x15x10e
Situps: 2x15

I was going to repeat that, then changed my mind. So I only did half the UD2 Monday workout.

Today:

Front Squat: 15x55, 15x45, 15x65 (on the smith machine; never tried it, wanted to, didn't like it AT ALL)
Leg Curl: 4x15x30
Incline Bench: 4x15x45
Lat Pulldown: 4x15x70 (and one chin on the last set)
Lateral Raise: 3x15x7.5e
Calf Raise: 1x15x30e, 3x15x35e
Bicep Curl: 3x15x10e
Tricep kickback: 3x15x10e
Situps on decline bench: 2x15

I was planning on doing more, but I had to leave to go to the airport and the above had already taken me 75 minutes. These are really long freakin workouts.

I didn't eat enough today and I'm starving. I forgot my snack at home so all I've eaten today is my breakfast, a protein bar, and 2 medium salads. NOT ENOUGH FOOD because I didn't plan well enough. I flew to Phoenix tonight and there is NOTHING around my hotel. I might venture out in a few minutes to find a grocery store but I'm wondering if I shouldn't just go to bed instead... SO hungry....

Did you find something to eat? If you're that hungry, I can't imagine it was easy to sleep without eating something... hope you're having a better day today!

I did. I ate In & Out fries the next day.

... so delicious.

I've had WAY too much beer lately. My log is starting to look like stingo's

In the past couple of weeks I've had....
Saranac Caramel Porter
Rogue Double Dead Guy (which we're also using for our wedding toast; appropriate given we met at Rogue, have Rogue tattoos, and it has a special place in our hearts)
Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye
Moylan's Hopsickle
Great Divide Old Ruffian Barleywine
Chouffe Doubblen IPA
75th St wheat wine
75th St oatmeal stout
Ayinger Oktoberfest (my favorite of the style)
Dogfish Head Punkin Ale
Stone Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout
Bear Republic Red Rocket Ale
Ft Collins Double Chocolate Stout
Shmaltz Coney Island Freaktoberfest
... and at least a couple of others which escape my memory at the moment.

And the next 1.5 weeks will be more of the same. YES. Weight loss can wait.
On our honeymoon in SF, we're doing a tour of Anchor and taking a road trip to Moylan's (in Novato) and Russian River (in Santa Rosa). Should be pretty fun. Maybe I should bring my size 10 pants.

I KID, I KID.

Commence official diet break. Trying to start Ultimate Diet 2.0 was pretty poor timing in hindsight. :p

A friend of mine had their wedding beer brewed and bottled in a special bottle by Rogue - the (as I understand it) rare OBX bottle.

Some good choices on that list - I've had the Double Dead Guy and enjoyed it as well. I know I've had the Fort Collins a while back and liked it too. What'd you think of the Shmaltz beer?

I enjoyed it. The red was a bit of a surprise - not sure if they added dye to it or what. It was enjoyable, but not my favorite from them. Lenny's RIPA is my favorite so far, but I'd still drink the Freaktoberfest one again.

On a side note, last night I made chicken vindaloo for dinner - recipe below. Not the most authentic recipe, but really damn good. I used 1 tsp cayenne instead of 1/2 and added about a dozen dried red chilis to up the heat. And added about a teaspoon of salt. And used chicken breast instead of thigh. YUM.

You say that like it's a bad thing lol. But I, like you, have been a bit too indulgent of late, particularly last weekend, so I hope to cut back on the beer so as to be able to get my weight trending down again. That said, it looks like my keg of Southampton's Pumpkin Ale is getting close to empty, so I'm shopping around for a new keg.

yeah, you know, it's not a race. I'm down to a body comp I'm happy with and that I'd like to maintain (OK I could do with more muscle & less fat, but I'm not in a hurry to get there). I've been dieting all year and I am ready for time off, just to maintain for a while. I'll keep working out and eating reasonably well, but I am tired of Dieting (tm) for now. Maybe in a month or two or something I'll get back on the wagon & look at doing ultimate diet seriously for a 6-8 week stint.

DM, I hear ya. I've been at it since January 1, and I'm going to do my best to get it DONE by November 3, so I can actually try to regain some the last 2 months of the year. THEN, start all over again Jan. 1, hopefully with more LBM.
