Day 74-Hitting a wall!

Today, I hit a huge wall about 2/3 through Legs/Back.  Yesterday, I played softball in the morning and some pickup basketball in the afternoon.  This was in addition to Max Recovery in the morning before softball.  After getting back from basketball, I was so sore I made myself do the X-Stretch.  And on top of all that, I didn't sleep very well (surprisingly, considering how exhausted I was physically).

I woke up stiff, but not as sore as I was expecting.  I got to the gym in the afternoon, and was going strong through the workout, upping my numbers on the pull-ups and feeling great.  Then right around the second round of wide grip pullups, I felt my energy plummet.  Legs got a little shaky and I lost a lot of strength in a pretty short amount of time.  "Bonking" is what Tony Horton calls it.

I bonked.  Big time.

I realized that I really hadn't taken advantage of the RECOVERY part of yesterday.  Bad idea.

BUT.  The upside was that doing these workouts has truly made me more durable, just like Tony talks about.  Next time, I will take a little more care to actually recover.

After getting home, I decided to attempt to weigh myself and measure my body fat.  Results are

Weight-177
Body fat-I'm getting low to the point that I"m going to have to start having someone else help me because my readings are too low to get results from the equation I've been using.  Translation-I use the calipers on my chest, abs, and thigh.  I won't be able to reach behind me...go go Gadget arms!

I'm almost to the end, having 2 more weeks plus the last recovery week!  Now it's about getting super strict with the diet.  I'm beginning to eliminate carbs after lunch.  That's kind of rough.  Breakfast is becoming the biggest meal of the day.  Also, with ASYLUM came a sample of SHAKEOLOGY.  I sampled it a couple of times, and it's actually really good.  Chocked full of vitamins and nutrients, and the chocolate flavor is really good, it's a nice meal replacement or last meal of the day if you need a 6th meal after lots of activity.

Anyway, that's where I am.  I will have lots of pics to put up at the end, especially from Broadway Bares, so stay tuned!

Stay strong, dig deep and BRING IT!
