    I thought I would mention I had a hard time getting through my workout today. I did chest, triceps, abs and I didn't have the stamina I normally do. I felt tired (weak/hungry). I thought maybe I just over trained a little due to fatigue but this was only 3rd straight day. I usually do a 2on 1off schedule but I wouldn't think 1 day more would hit this hard...would it? I felt more sore than normal and ready to sleep when I was done...similar to a great round of sex, lol. I managed to push my reps and maximize all my weights but just didn't feel tip-top.

    Any thoughts?

    ^^^ Your metabolism is currently trying to adjust from constantly being fueled with carbs to getting the same job done with relatively emptier glycogen stores. Don't think about it too much, you are going through a cutting phase and it is what it is.

    Saturday (work out day) This day may get me some negative comments

    - 2 whole eggs, 1/2 cup egg whites
    - 1 cup oatmeal
    - 1 grapefruit

    meal 2
    - 8ounce smoked salmon
    - 1 cup cottage cheese

    work out (hams, calves, abs, cardio)

    post work out (2 scoops protein, 1 scoop creatine)

    meal 3

    - 3 slices of thin crust whole wheat pizza ( tomato sauce unsweetened, 2 cups grilled chicken, banana peppers, 1 cup mushrooms, 1/2 cup feta cheese)
    - 1 pepsi (first pop in many months, I wanted something sweet) I know bad, bad, bad. I would have went diet but I find the aspartame gives me headaches.

    Is this what I call my cheat meal?
