- Felt great today. Actually, the best I've felt yet. I didn't take more than 45 seconds rest between sets and only about 1.5 minutes between exercises. It could be my body getting more efficient with the limited fuel I've been feeding it. So, it looks like 3 weeks of feeling like shit until I get the hang of the diet.

-Diet: Today was an unscheduled day off from work so I didn't have much prepared. I ate my 8 whites + 2 whole eggs for breakfast, a few cans of tuna throughout the day, and a couple of protein shakes in skim milk. Sucked eating the same shit, but I still hit my 250+ grams of protein and had <75 grams of carbs.

Day 17: Low Carb/Moderate Cardio

Preworkout: 2 scoops BCAA's, 1 scoop protein w/ water

Workout- 40 minutes moderate run, 10 minute cool down.

Postworkout: 2 scoops BCAA's, 2 scoops protein w/ water.

Day 18: Carb Load/High Intensity

Due to working the night shift tonight, I had to workout during the day time, limiting my fat burning somewhat. This meant me skipping my scheduled HIIT in the am which I've done for the past 2 weeks. After working out, I had to start my carb loading. However, this time I don't have a 30 hour time limit like the past 2 weeks, so my loading will be a lot less aggressive.

Preworkout: 2 scoops Xtend (BCAA's), 1 scoop protein w/ water, 1 scoop of Creatine HSC (for the creatine/dextrose)

-I felt great again today. Maybe a little sluggish starting off since I'm not used to the early morning workout. I adapted well I thought, and drove through the workout with perfect form and without a spotter's help as usual. The weight is just about there, still too light on every single exercise. I wouldn't feel comfortable attempting a truck load of weight without at least someone standing by. However, I still got a great growth stimulus because it was still heavy for me. Maybe during my final week of UD2.0 I'll come as close to my 10 RM's as I can without a spot to see where I stand for my next cycle through.
