12:30pm - 300mg of caffeine, 60mcg clen
yes, I slept 11.5 hours…it was great!

You deserved it

1:00pm - 50mins cardio @ 65-70% MHR

2:30pm - 6 egg whites, 2/3c oats, 5mg anavar
Sick of cream of wheat, I'm starting to run out of choices!!

Try some babyfood.. just watch the macros (sugar etc.) and ingredients (namely the carb source) on the label.

3:45pm - workout - legs

Exercises:

Hack Squat
Reverse Stationary Lunge
DB Deadlift
Leg Extension
Seated Leg Curl
One Leg Standing Calf Raise
Back Extension

Repeat 2x

I like the exercise selection.. was it done as a circuit? (re: Repeat 2x).. Why was it arranged in this order?

4:30pm - PWO - 25g whey, 6oz sweet potato, 60mcg clen

6:45pm - 5oz tuna, lettuce, 1/2 tbsp flax

8:45pm - 3oz chicken breast, lettuce, 1/2 tbsp flax

10:45pm - 3oz chicken breast, 1/2 tbsp flax

12:45am - 6 egg whites, 1 scoop whey (25g), 1oz almonds, 3 omega complex pills

1:30am - bed

That's a lotta food m'lady... how many kcals does it work out too? Are you seeing the weight/fat-loss you were expecting? How is your energy level?

I will start my 6th week of clen tomorrow so I will be doing 50mg of benadryl for the week. It will be my 5th week of anavar, just to let you all know where I'm at. Im also planning on dropping the circuit training tomorrow and going back to a moderate weight/moderate rep scheme. Hoping to start heavy the week after. Thanks for reading!

Oye!.. avoid my previous question on whether this is a circuit..rather, why the circuit training? Did i miss something earlier in this thread?

Good luck with the rest of your cycle m'lady

Ok.. i just scrolled back to Jan 3rd.

I understand the reationale.. still i think that supersets would be a better approach..namely supersetting antagonistic bodyparts.

But if it (circuit training) is working for you.. keep to it.

Hi Tina .... great work! I am looking forward to another update photo. Just a little tip on that ..... stand away from the background wall or whatever and you will not get a fuzzy shadow around your body outline so you will get a clearer picture. About 3 feet from the wall should be fine and give good results. This really only applies to flash photography.

PS ... I wish I was a door!

You mean the cereal or like...strained peas?? yuk!

Here's a link that I hope answers the first question:
My cycle/training/diet journal

The weight loss is a little slower than I had hoped, but hopefully that means its quality weight loss And my energy level is pretty low. I have no idea how you competiters do it for like 16wks. Dont think Im made for that.

As you can see, I switched up my workout and started my week of benadryl today. This is all getting a little miserable. The diet sucks, I think Im about due for a carb up day. I am losing strength, the weight loss is a lot slower than I anticipated. *sigh* I guess its times like these when people usually give up.

Yes, you are reading that right. I think that's the earliest I've had to get up for months! But I had a 9:00 briefing in a town about an hour away.

Okay, you guys are going to yell at me…but I caved to the peer pressure. I went to Chili's for "a couple beers" which turned into a few beers with some greasy food. Ugh! Oh well, I guess I needed it…mentally anyway.

11:00pm - 50mg benadryl, bed
