In a few weeks, it will be officially spring. This is why I'm starting a new phase in my workout: Lose as much weight as possible (in a healthy way). My goal is to lose an extra 5 lbs. I still want good muscle to cushion the cardio movements, but I'll be on a super-restricted diet from now on for at least 1.5 months.So then I have a month to get my body into hyper-mode, which means that when I start giving myself more calories and carbs, my body will be a trained machine to output several miles or fast sprints if need be. I'm very excited for this phase, because honestly it will take the most concentration and planning.
My diet will consist of:
Breakfast 6am:
2 whole eggs, maybe with greens or kale and some sort of spice (pico de gallo, sriracha, pepper, etc)
Snack 1 9am:
2/3 cup Oatmeal
Handful of Mixed Nuts
Lunch 11am:
4-5 oz boneless, skinless chicken
3/4 cup brown rice
Steamed Veggies
Snack 2 2pm:
Salad
Snack 3 (pre-workout) 5pm:
Protein shake or handful of Granola (whichever is available to me)
Dinner 7pm:
6 ozTilapia
Steamed Veggies, or Asparagus, or whatever other vegetable I have fresh
Todays Workout
Cardio: split of 15 minutes warm up on elliptical before workout, 10 minute jog on treadmill after workout
*Note* My goal for this new phase isn't necessarily to gain mileage or speed, but rather give my body the optimum ability to shred fat.
Workout: Back
Astrofit Method, 2 circuit supersets
10 reps Assisted pullups
10 reps Long Pull
