Sorry I didn't blog on the 29th. Nutritionally, I tried t work in an extra cheat meal with a huge triple cheeseburger and large fries for lunch and it didn't really fit into the logging program. My goal was to hit well over 4,000 calories and I failed. I felt pretty sluggish for the rest of the day and was more sore than I should have been from training today. I think my days of eating junk like that are numbered. Eating strict most of the time means that you notice crap like drive thru food…

After Friday's epic cheat meal I really didn't have much appetite. Had some Mongolian BBQ for lunch about 130pm (just vegetables and meat, with lots of curry, ginger, garlic and red pepper sauce).

For dinner I just had a big salad and some of these really yummy crockpot chicken thighs Stacey made.

4/19 (Not much appetite…

TRAINING:

Not much today. 20 minutes alternating pullups and bar dips at around 1030am.

NUTRITION:

Now this is how a cheat meal is done! Hamburger on a GF bun and tons and tons of fries. Washed it down with a Bud Light (a GF beer) and a little gelato after.

Unabashed American junkfood. For some reason this is just what I crave. I think the reason I want something so simple and such junkfood rather than something more upscale for a cheat meal is…

TRAINING:

930AM-

Back squats. Yes, something I have almost never done because my legs explode when I do them. This is mostly as an experiment to correct some imbalances. Will give this a few weeks and see. I'll keep the weights light, the reps low and the rest time long and focus on ROM and really engaging the hip. Using a modified cycle at a lower weight just as a template.

NUTRITION:

 Cheat meal today at dinner. Fajitas with corn tortillas sounded good for this week's cheat. I fried the tortillas in coconut oil and made mostly my own seasonings and used local raised grassfed beef for the steak. A bunch of steamed spinach with tons of butter and lemon was "dessert" so I don't know if I really can give myself a huge applause for this cheat.
