Yep, No, let me rephrase, Wow, I have been carb cycling for 7 full weeks now. It really does not feel like it has been that long. As you guys know I am not a weigh-er....meaning I do not obsessively weigh myself each and every day; I am a measure-er. I measure myself every Thursday morning to see what improvements or not I have made, not made. For the last couple of weeks, I have known I need to pull the trigger and do something different (meaning I was not dropping in inches like I wanted to see), but wasn't quite ready to do it yet. To keep this short and more to the point here is my split:
workout carb cycle
Mon Shoulders Low
Tues Legs Low
Wed Chest/Back Mid
Thurs Arms Mid
Fri Off Low
Sat My cardio Mid
Sun Run/walk cardio Refeed
Sometimes I change up my split, or my carb days, or sometimes I may take Sunday off. Just depends on what all is going on schedule wise, etc...But the workouts always get in and the # of low, mid, and refeed days stay the same.
So, where am I going from here? As you can see I have avoided cardio as much as I possibly can, as I am no fan. Well, those days are over.......but still true to myself I am going to add it in on a very limited basis in hopes of making the most gain possible with the least amount of cardio.
I will add in 10 min of cardio (HIIT style) after each weight session, that will give me 40 extra minutes of cardio a week. Of course after a week, if that is still not enough I will add more. :( Boo Hoo...
Yea, yea, I know the rules...........
- Workout regularly
- Clean up your diet
- Add cardio
If results are not where you want them, start over at #1 and work down the list again (wash, rinse, and repeat, you know the drill). This cycle can take a couple/few times to get right. Once all is as tight as you can make it and you still want to lose more inches add in a thermo, I only suggest a thermo once ALL of the above can not be perfected anymore. (I am not there yet- and I probably will not- just my personal choice)
I really want a shirt that says this! heehe
Keep up the amazing work lady! You're a true inspiration. Can't wait until my schedule allows me to start this cycle. Ps I want a shirt that says that as well. We should make that happen. Thanks for sharing :)
