I was supposed to repeat the first round, but I couldn't bring myself to do all the sets.

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?

[DirtyMartini]

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!!).

[Bytsi]

Thanks - I didn't understand the two days in a row of heavy lifting!

[DirtyMartini]

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

[DirtyMartini]

Did a circuit this time. 5 circuits of -

Front Squats: 15x45
Leg Curls: 2@15x40, 3@15x30
Lateral raise: 15x5e
Lat pull-down: 15x70
Incline Bench Press: 15x20e
Calf raise: 3x15x15e
Bicep curl: 3x15x20
Tricep pushdown: 3x15x25

not in that order but my arms hurt too much to change it

[DirtyMartini]

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.

[stingo]

Details? Which one? What beers?

[DirtyMartini]

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.

[stingo]

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

[beesknees]

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

When's the last time you tested for 1RM???

[DirtyMartini]

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

[DirtyMartini]

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

[DirtyMartini]

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 h
