E2M program Round 3, Week 2, Day 6
Diet
After adding some healthy carbs, brown rice or 1/2 sweet potato to early meals and losing last week, decided to add some fruit with each meal. My energy was up. Basically seeing what happens with the additions coming into TSEpic. Going out for the cheat meal this afternoon to a local, Mexican spot.
Exercise
Stuck to plan circuits and spin bike sessions. Only 1 lunch walk as the weather has sucked and I was doing the Ride Wrap installation on the Pivot. Did make it to Belmont #notarace on Thurs. Was informed afterward that I was "1st place" SSer this week. Have been able to hang with many riders, and pass many others, that I rarely see during the 3 laps. PR'd the climb up Parachute Hill. Going to keep it easy for the coming week while prepping for TSE.
Weight
1/2/22 Starting weight = 235.4
4/30/22 Current weight = 181.8
Diff: weekly up 1.2, total lost = 53.6
Not surprised with the small increase in weight. It was an experiment week for me. Now I know, only 1 healthy carb per meal. The strength training will start in about 3 weeks.
E2M program Rd 3, Wk 3, Day 6
Diet
Stuck with the experiment of heathy carbs, just reduced the serving size of the fruit. It was a hungry week though and I powered through it. Don't want to make any drastic changes and have fluctuations, up or down, in weight the week before TSE. Staying the course. Did go out to dinner with my parents and MIL Thursday night, and today there will be a family gathering at our place, so another meal of "cheating".
Exercise
Plan circuits and spin bike sessions as I've been doing. Did get in a few lunch walks. No Belmont this week. Still keeping it easy the week before TSE. Prepping and packing for the week will be the exercise between today and travelling on Monday. May take the bike out for a spin.
Weight
1/2/22 Starting weight = 235.4
4/30/22 Current weight = 180.6
Diff: weekly down 1.2, total lost = 54.8
Looks like I'm maintaining well, back down to the same number from 2wks ago. Probably the extra activity of walking at lunch helped. So close to being in the 170s. Think I'll settle in the 175-180 range. Next week at TSE, planning to fuel enough and stay close to plan. With the amount of activity for 5 days, fueling is the priority. Will be interesting to weigh in when I return home on Sunday.
