Diet:
Went over by 100 cals today. I went out to watch the Avalanche vs Stars(pro hockey) play and ended up drinking some brews, so not the best source of calories but i'm not to worried about it. Ironically even with the brews this day is the lowest carb day I think I have had since I started this log. lol . Aves lost but it was a blast! I watched a ref get hit by a flying puck right in the face and he dropped to the ice like a sack of potatoes. They brought out the stretcher but after about 5 min or so he got up and walked off the rink. It was a pretty cool crazy thing to see lol, oh and I had some dood take a picture of me and my friend and they put us in the Aves website picture fan thingy woohoo!

Wednesday Week 10
Starting weight: 214 lbs
Today's weight: 219 lbs
Workout "Cardio & Weight lifting (Legs)":
Treadmill (walking with inclines) 45 min = 456 calories
Note: My Recumbent bike needs to be repaired so I am using the treadmill for now. Although I am not a big treadmill fan because its harder on my joints than the bike. The good thing about it is that it allows me to use my calf muscles. 2 1/2 weeks ago I broke my 3rd toe on my left foot so I have not been able to do any direct calf work. Those inclines on the treadmill are giving my calves some good burning pumps haha so that is good.

So I took last Friday, Saturday, &, Sunday off to completely heal up. I pushed it really hard for 11 weeks with those 2 off days a week but I needed some back to back days to rest up just because I was really worn down. I always listen to my body and even though I have have a set schedule I always have room for adjustments when needed.
Speaking of adjustments this week I will be moving my leg day work out from tomorrow to Thursday but I will continue my normal rotation next Monday. I am doing this because my recumbent bike will be fixed by next week and walking on the treadmill with inclines the next 2 days after leg day workouts suck.
Anyways I feel great now and I am mostly completely healed physically and mentally it feels great to be recharged for this week.
:drinker:
Here is a picture I took from last Friday's weight lifting arms, forearms, &, abs work out.

Not very often you will see me say this but I am glad tomorrow is leg day..lol :laugh: This will give me 2 1/2 days for my elbow to heal up so I should be good to go by Saturday.

[/i]..................................................13 WEEKS COMPLETED RESULTS..........................................................................[/i]
After having gotten sick, breaking a my third toe on my left foot, breaking my eye vessels pushing hard on leg day, tennis elbow, and falling off my diet here and there I managed to push through it all and achieve some success.
Also I wanted to add that on this diet I did have spike days during certain off days that I did not log. I just didn't log them because I do not log on my off days. That was an important factor why I gained some muscle mass while I lost body fat on this recomp. diet. I zig zagged my calories over and around maintenance. So if anyone says you cannot do this then I have showed you that you can. I choose this diet plan because it was to late in the year for me to traditionally bulk n cut so this was the next best thing.
