My training log

You like those low rep leg presses?

I didn't yesterday, but I sure did last week. Last time it led to higher reps. I think yesterday I was just way too drained.

I hadn't taken a true rest day since last Monday. Felt like my body needed it.

Time to reel the fat level back down tomorrow. I've been slipping a bit lately.

How much are you weighing ?

I'm weighing around 188 right now. Down from closer to 195 in December.

Is that you in your AVI?

No, that's the pro wrestler Kevin Nash AKA Diesel. I wish I was that big/tall 😂

I had some sort of food poisoning hit me yesterday. Had to leave work early and spent the afternoon/evening dealing with one of the worst stomach aches I've had and going back and forth to the bathroom. It made it difficult to eat anything other than toast and stuff like that.

What food do you think did it for you?

My stomach ache is coming on again today. I'm not gonna come close to hitting my protein goal at this rate. Just trying to reach the end of the work day.

Food for 3/21 (Work/Rest Day)
2,068 calories
244g carbs
141g protein
51g fats

Previous night's sleep: 9 hours

My stomach still feels really sensitive. Despite the sleep I felt so tired and run down that I skipped the gym. I found it hard to eat much protein without stomach pain.

On the bright side, ate a large turkey sandwich after work and finally felt relatively normal.

Food for 3/22 (Long Day/Cheat Day)
3,025 calories
298g carbs
212g protein
102g fats

Previous night's sleep: 4 hours

It felt good just to be able to eat again without worrying about a stomach explosion. I ate a lot of 80/20 ground beef meatloaf which is where a lot of the fat came from.

This week has been a mess but I'm finally going to get in the gym today.

234g carbs
189g protein
50g fats

 

[Diesel59]

Also, I had slept 8 hours the night before that workout. I think the lack of energy was moreso from the stomach illness I had dealt with.
