I'm definately gonna take the cardio a lilttle slower this time. I think before when I was trying to beat 5K times, I was overdoing it. This walk/jog/run is better IMO. Thanks Mikey!

Haha, thanks John! I'll do lot's of extra reps!!

I just realized I never declared my training routine:

Split:

Monday - Legs (Heavy)
Tuesday - Chest/Bicep
Wednesday - Rest
Thursday - Shoulder/Traps/Calves
Friday - Legs (light)
Saturday - Back/Tricep
Sunday - Rest

Cardio:

Phase 1 - Week 1-6

7 days/week in the morning - 30 mins LIIT/HIIT varied

Phase 2 - Weeks 6-12

7 days/week morning and noon - 30 mins each LIIT/HIIT varied

Phase 3 - Week 12-Peak week

7 days/week morning, noon & night - 30 mins each LIIT/HIIT varied

Obviously, everythiing is subject to chage!

LOL, thats still only 90 minutes--less than you were doing at your last cut. I will use cardio so I can eat a lil more; I have no patience for starving my ass off like you and Blu do. Props to you two, but I likes my food energy

I'll prob be doing a good amount of power walking instead of so much running

**gman** · 11-06-2009, 12:17 PM

Oh, I know...I fully expect to be doing 90 minutes twice a day in that same time frame.

**Down4whatever** · 11-06-2009, 12:35 PM

Just had Meal 2--Herb & Garlic tuna pouch and a toasted multi-grain sandwich thin......that Tuna was goooooooooooood!!!

Little pricey though $1.88

Doing a cheat meal 3 today, so I will adjust out of meals 4-6.

Hotwings and fries FTW!!

Bastards...that's where I got mine.....maybe I need to go to a Supercenter. I went to a Neighborhood Market this morn; I've noticed some things cheaper at the supercenter than the neighborhood markets--strange, it's the same Company

Hitting walmart on my errand run today after Tanning and looking for new lifting gloves ...will check out the price out here.
Will not be buying the hickory tuna

Tanning?

Not in a machine I trust.

My cancer surgeon said the machine (had my own) was over 50% of the reason I have had two large Melanomas.

Just sayin....

Oh yes, I already get the 5 dozen eggs!! I'm good if I keep each meal under $3.50 x 42 meals per week = $147 average; I'd be willling to bet I'm under $2 right now

I think that is half the fun of being on a dedicated eating plan is finding the bargains. It almost feels like Christmas when you find chicken on sale. D4 I hope you enjoyed the chicken wings!!!
