The first thing I do when I get up and it's Daylight Savings Time is spring into action fixing every clock in the house, my watch, the clock in the car...I was fairly sure I updated them all. I forgot one important one. My alarm clock. That would be why I'm writing a post at 3:30am on a Monday morning. I'm still trying to get past the fact that I just lost an hour of precious sleep in my cozy bed.
I'm not sure how two months quickly escaped since my last post. Not too much has changed. I'm still trying my best to eat clean and train consistently. I visited with Jodi about two weeks ago to check on my bodyfat level and get some direction for my off-season training.
I was thrilled to be at 17.6% bodyfat, which means I'm maintaining (last time I was 17.4%, which was in July). My weight is up 5 pounds. I'm hoping it's muscle, but it could be some water weight. My period is still screwed up from coming off the pill and the creatine I'm taking is known to cause water retention. Jodi pulled back on my cardio and had me add Ezekiel bread at lunchtime. Here is my current diet:
Breakfast -- 5 egg whites, 1/3 cup oatmeal, 1/4 cup berries
AM snack -- 1.5 scoops Core Post-Workout protein powder
Lunch -- 3oz protein, 1 slice Ezekiel bread, 1 cup veggies
PM snack -- 1 scoop protein, 1 Tbsp peanut butter (or 10-12 almonds)
Dinner -- 3 oz protein, 2 cups veggies, 1/3 cup rice
Evening snack -- 1 scoop protein, 1 Tbsp peanut butter (or 10-12 almonds)
Cardio -- 20 min. 4x per week
Weights -- 5 exercises per bodypart, 3-4 sets, 8-12 reps
Supplements -- added 1 scoop creatine back into my glutamine drink during my workout. I'm taking a multi-vitamin, CLA, BCAAs, biotin, calcium, and fish oil.
My goal right now is to add muscle. The plan is to do the same show I did last year, which is on May 10. I'm about 6 months out. The competition diet will start right after the holidays on Jan. 5.
Here's to an easier adjustment to the time change! Do you have any Daylight Savings stories to share? I'm all ears. ;)
