Mabye a good idea but you've been training hard. As far as training, nothing wrong with taking a psychological break and enjoying you vacation. This sort of training is not so unforgiving. Do stuff if you want but don't "worry" over it.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

Ok, sir. I'm just afraid with the lack of actual protein im getting in i will lose strength and become a weakling

The food here is really rich in fats - olive oil, humus, nuts, etc are all over the place. I've been eating good food (I'm hoping) so far but i look a bit lean however i think thats because i am just deconditioned.

i will actually be taking some time off from training. im gonna be doing some really low volume stuff. its the weekend. i just wanted to squeeze in 2 good workout before i do "chilled" workouts for the next 5 days.....

thanks for the help, E....i will do what you suggest and relax more. 4-6 hours of walking around is good enough exercise

I agree, you need a break man.

When I was in Thailand for the holiday I did take with me a small grill, but I didnt use it since food there was pretty cheap and i had no trouble getting in protein.

Most important thing is about making smart choices. I would order 3 plates of ginger chicken and one cup of rice for a few bucks.

Im sure you will find a way. You're on holiday, dont over stress yourself.

Well diet is up to you. Sure you may lose a bit of absolute strength and endurance but just a bit and it will quickly regain. You are after all, "going all out" in this program. If you felt froggy you could repeat the last week of the last phase (except ease into the first day). But really not necessary.

I guess really what I'm getting at is that there are more stressors in life other than just your training that effect your outcome. So always being pent up and worried about losing a bit of strength or whatever is just helping to build up more stress.

I see. You're right...diet is important but sometimes it's hard to get in so many square meals a day. So far I've been sneaking (or "stealing" if you prefer that ) sandwiches out of the breakfast buffet and eating them at various intervals between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner. I went to the local supermarket (it's only a short 10 minute walk away) and bought soy milk to sip during the night...i'm just worried that im not getting my 275 grams of protein because although I probably eat way more than that it's not at different sittings so I am mostly wasting the protein away...

Oh well...like you said: the strength + endurance will get back fast. especially since week 10 of MS is another medium week...so i'm not that unlucky.

thanks a bunch, sir!!!

Humus... Sounds like you're having an awesome time. I'm envious! I think you worry enough about nutrition that you'll end up doing ok as far as protein & carb consumption goes. For $100, I'll send you a 20oz filet mignon.

i just hope you remembered to take your ab rocket with you.

Cool. How'd you like the women in Jordan?

Slayer: I hear you....Thailand is an awesome place. Very cheap to get food. I've been there (Bangkok) a few times. I know what you mean...I'm trying to make smart choices about food actually:

1.) I make sure I'm hydrated at all times because being out here in the desert-type climate can get you dehydrated really fast

2.) I have tons of salads and fruits (more salads) because I want to avoid constipation,etc

3.) The food here is very Mediterranean-ish so I make sure I take advantage of that and have olive oil with all my salads.

4.) I spread some meals around so as to avoid stuffing myself in the face. Infact, from traveling as much as I have I've learnt to make sure that when I leave the table I still have a little room for more food in my stomach.

5.) I go to the supermarket to get some milk and stuff to chew on later at night. I still manage to get 4-5 meals a day.



Pity: I got my ab rocket right here

Eric: The women in Jordan are all in Hijaabs. So: What women are you talking about??

No way dude....I saw lots of fine women if full face. Very westernized and hot. This was Oman (sp?) as far as where the hotel was, etc...

Hell, I'm pretty sure I saw some of em wearing jeans and leather jackets Even the ones in hijaabs didn't always have a veil. And their faces were beautiful.
