Day 5.  One word.  Unbelievable.

Let’s get the eating thing out of the way, because the exercise part of today was unique.

Day 5 – Eating

Excellent day for eating.  By now you might be a little bored so I’ll skip the details except to say that

  • I ate really well in terms of food quality
  • I ate less food than previous days (I’ve shared the idea of calorie cycling here, where the basic idea for building muscle and shedding fat at the same time has little to do with your workouts – it’s about calories in and calories out; so I do 2-3 days of over-calories and then 2-3 days of under; I’ll explain more another time or if someone asks a question specific to this)
  • I timed my simple carbs perfectly around my workouts (see here)
  • I did a really good job planning ahead (for example, for lunch I ordered two lunches, and asked that one be packed “to go”; that way, 3 hrs later, I had food  [protein and veggies] with me at the business conference)

Now for the really exciting part…
