Workout Journal Notes

The weather was perfect this morning, almost 60 degrees, and it was the first time the sun was fully out too, since the time changed last week.

It was another long and challenging circuit, but I’m amazed by how I feel better and better every week.

I was way out ahead of the pack again all day, and a couple of people even commented on the progress I’ve made since I started.

It feels so good to see and feel real measurable progress from week to week, because I can still remember those first few weeks only a couple of months ago, when I was never leading any of the drills at all.

Now that it’s been over 2 weeks on less than 100 grams of carbs per day, any thoughts I had about decreased energy have been completely obliterated.

If anything, I have more energy, strength, and stamina than I’ve ever had in my life.

Tomorrow is measurement day and I wouldn’t be surprised if I gained a pound or two, simply because I kept my diet about the same, even though it was “Very Low Load” week.

I know I’ve made that mistake before, but after losing a full 2 pounds last week, I didn’t want to keep dropping too fast.

I still want to get to 200 so bad, while maintaing low body fat, but I’m getting closer to being able to trade in that arbitrary number for a much leaner and more functional body!
