I see what your saying, maybe being on the elip was holding me back because I was going just as fast as I could and I did get sick by the end. I pushed my self as hard as I could but it does seem like I was doing it wrong. I will try to go to the track and do the 400m dash that was mentioned I am just nervous to run because of knee injuries. I have had a torn patella (last December) and ACL(3 years ago) in the same knee so I am a little leery of too much impact.

As for today it was yet another off day. It really seems like I am accomplishing nothing by not going to the gym when I am there I feel like I am making a difference and changing my appearance with every lift. It is a very frustrating feeling knowing that you have to rest but you really just want to make everything change. I am up to 1 hour on the eliptical which usually is between 8-9 hundred calroies. I think tomorrow I will just do 1k calroies and not worry about the time.

The diet today was a little lax because I had to go out of town and it is so hard to find good food when your out of your comfort zone.
Calroies 1200
Fat 26g
Carbs 18g
Protein 215g
I was doing good trying to get them up but today was just a rush and I figured it would be better to be under the calroies I need rather then over the calroies I needed.
