RaginCajun's Daily Log

[RaginCajun]

Went for a little swim today, first time in prob 6-8 months. I forgot how tough it is! I did 15 minutes without stopping and could have done some more but I woke up this morning with my right shoulder feeling 'dead.' Not sure if I slept on it funny or the girl I had over did.

After some thinking, it is time for me to get back on the high horse!

I am going to plan out a schedule and stick to it as best as my schedule dictates.

I will be attempting to carb cycle and will drop carbs in half on cardio only days.

Going to be tough but it is something I need to do to get the furnace burning again!

[Bio-Active]

You can do it brother we are here to support and nudge you in the right direction

[RaginCajun]

Looks like I will be carb cycling, 3 low/4 normal days.

I will be lifting weights on Mondays and Fridays, and will mainly be focusing on all of my weak muscle groups (hamstrings/calves/rotator cuffs).

Tuesday thru Thursday will be my low days and cardio will be the focus here.

Stretching and rolling/grinding/buffing my muscles/knots will also be done as much as I can remember to do!

Will post stats in AM to see where my weight is.

Did legs this morning and it was hard to walk down the stairs afterwards.

Food is prepped for the day, just have to eat!

Depending on when I get off of work, I may go walk/ride bike later.

Stats: 5'10" 178lbs 18% BF. (Forgot to weigh myself right when I got up so will weigh again)

Sounds like you got in a good leg training session? What's on the menu for today's meals?

Sounds like you got in a good leg training session? What's on the menu for today's meals?

meal one: had a green smoothie Pre WO (kale/romaine/wheat grass/carrots/blueberries) and a scoop of protein powder

meal two: Post WO Quest bar and glass of OJ

meal three: 2 slices Ezeikel bread, cup of egg whites, 1 whole egg, with a 1/4 cup of syrup. done up french toast style.

meal four: 5.6 oz of chicken, cup of brown rice, salad

meal five: same as above

meal six: prob cook up some wild hog pork chops or chicken with tomato/cucumber salad.

meal seven: 8 oz skim milk and a scoop of protein powder.

comes out to right at 2200cals (40/40/20 split)

may change meal one to cup of whites/cup of oats/scoop of protein, as that green smoothie was tough to chunk down.

i will drop one slice of ezekiel bread and the brown rice on Tuesday thru Thursday.

I think you will like the results. It's tough and you will be hungry but just drink water to curb the appetite

Haven't tried that yet. There is one at my gym so I will have to give it a go.

Note to self: find a chick that has a hot tub and that is a massage therapist that was a thumb sucker back in the day!

Thats a good note

[RaginCajun]

No workout as I felt really tight this morning. I did go sit in the steam room and then the hot tub. It def helps out some, so I will continue to do so.

Really don't think I will lift tomorrow feeling this tight, as I do not want to hurt/injure anything. I am going to do my best to get to the massage place today, all depends on work and when I will be able to leave.

Also, I have been doing a little research on asthma and magnesium, and will hopefully come up with some type of plan to see if it will help any.

It's important to listen to your body and if something doesn't feel right by all means take the rest When your body needs it.

I'm hard headed, I never listen

[RaginCajun]

Same as yesterday, steam and hot tub. Feeling somewhat looser.

May continue to have another low carb day depending on my energy level. Feel ok as of now.
