Day 35

Woke up with a cold! Weighed 82.5kgs though! Took the day off work and stayed home all day with a snotty nose and feeling crap with a sore throat. Ate carbs in meal 1,2 and 3 as I was meant to be working my 2nd job and pre made the meals the night before. It was meant to be a training day off so no guilt so far.

That sucks bro. Right when you're weigh ins are on the up too.

It might sound a bit anal, but make sure you wash your hands several times during the day. I'm a bit of a germ-a-phobe and wash my hands religiously throughout the day and I havent had a cold in about a year and a half. When you use equipment in the gym, shake hands with people, use the fuel pump to fill up, handrails, shopping trolleys etc, you should wash your hands straight after. I definitely would avoid touching the face and around the mouth during a workout after handling dbells and barbells that everyone's been using. Germs from various surfaces may not be the sole cause of the common cold, but keeping hands clean helps I reckon.

I agree with what you're saying and I do wash my hands during the day a lot but it's hard at the gym. In my gym everyone knows each other so every night you end up shaking at least 10-15 peoples hands and it would be hard taking off my gloves and washing my hands every time lol I will definitely try not to touch my face while training as that is the entry point for germs to get in.

Day 37

Had a massive sleep and woke up weighing 82.6kgs. Even though I've had a cold I've been getting all my meals in which is good. After waking up and having breakfast at 9am. I debated with the idea of training this morning for over an hour! I decided I would go and do a light chest and tri session just to pump some blood into the muscles, do cardio and get out! So waited and had my 2nd meal at 11am (tin of tuna and small bowl of oats 40gcarb) and started training at 12.15pm. I ended up having a pretty good session!

6 sets of flat db press (8 reps of 45kg max)
4 sets of 45 degree incline smith machine
3 sets of 2 super sets back to back (giant set) pec dec, cable flys, seated db skull crushes and cable rope pull down
3 sets of close grip dips superseted with close grip bench dips
3 sets of bb French press superseted into close grip presses

Weights took 54 mins plus 30mins of cardio

Felt really good while training and feel mentally better that I trained!

Due for a shot tonight!
