Week #2 Update #1
Weight still holding at 255.
Back and bis today. Had a phenomenal workout. High reps, extra sets, went to failure on last set of every exercise, mixed it up with drop sets here and there, shorter rest periods between sets, and just generally had an excellent day in the gym.
Threw in an extra 40 minute session of cardio after I trained, and it seemed to breeze by as well. Almost every session I'm increasing the angle of the treadmill steeper and steeper just to get to the same target heart rate. I'm up to 10 degree incline at 3.3mph to hit the 120-130 bpm range. If this keeps up I'll end up having to switch the HIIT cardio just to get my heart rate up.
Checked my diet today, and the only carbs I have left to cut are the 2 big leafy green veg salads I eat with lunch and dinner. I'm not sure I want to cut those, though. Greens are just too good for you, health wise, to cut them out of the diet. I guess I could cut out the handful or 2 of nuts I eat as a snack during the day, but I hate to give up the healthy fats as well. I guess I'll have to start cutting overall calories. I'm gonna start by cutting out a piece of tilapia and 2 eggs and go from there. Hopefully that'll shave a few pounds this week. I'm open to suggestions as well.
