Mission 1, Day 87: Low energy today

January 21, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

Today was my second day of the low carb cycle of Metabolic Surge and honestly, I have no energy at all.  I know it is my body getting used to the low carbs again.  Although, with the results I'm getting, when I do end this third round, I am going to seriously work on carb cycling ala Tom Venuto. 

This brings me to things I've learned in the past 87 days.  Here is the list:

  • Consistency is the key to it all
  • Low carb works well for me
  • I was not eating enough fibrous veggie carbs previously and it makes alot of difference
  • Drink water!  Drink water!  Drink water!
  • Lifting very heavy weights is a high for me.
  • Podcasting is fun
  • Adam Waters is an awesome and inspirational guy
  • Every single Shredder Council member is very supportive of the other members.
  • Selfish isn't a word the Shredder Council members know and use
  • Lilla is a professional videographer (or at least she should be)
  • Adam is a professional videographer (or at least he should be)
  • Mike Groom is my clone
  • Suzette is extremely supportive
  • Bec enjoys reading everyone's blog
  • Christy is funny and she looks great in a bikini
  • Joni is extremely sweet and very smart
  • Debbie is very creative
  • Lynda is full of love for everyone and I enjoy her posts
  • Massimiliano is a big flirt
  • Dougal has a huge heart and is very supportive
  • Kristiina is very quiet
  • Diane works hard on her workouts
  • You are all my friends and I am proud of that fact

All of the above have lead to the results I've been getting.  These are the most consistently good results I've gotten in a year and it is in large part to the support I've gotten from all of you.  Thank you for everything you've done so far!  2008 is truly the Year of the Shred!

I wonder what will happen this week?  I was supposed to lift weights today, but my self-imposed rest week started, so I could not do that.  Will I continue to get the results I've been getting?  Will I burn more or less fat this week?  Will the podcast ever get on the site this week?  Check back tomorrow and get the answer to these and many other questions as I continue my journey into the Fat Burning Machine!

Until tomorrow…GET BACK TO LIFTING!
