10 Weeks Out

Written by Josh on August 6th, 2010

It’s been a little over a month since I posted last, so I will summarize how July went.  I went on vacation to Denver where I cheated on my diet to my heart’s content.  I ate anything I wanted, but stuck to drinking diet soda.  Surprisingly, I only gained about 5 pounds which I quickly lost once I got back home and back on the diet.  In total, Zack and I took two full weeks off at the gym.  We’ve been hitting it hard the last 2 weeks at the gym.

Cardio & Abs

I’ve also started ramping up the cardio and abs. Right now for cardio I walk for half hour in the morning, climb 10 flights of stairs mid-morning, 10 flights of stairs mid-afternoon, and 2 minutes of super high intensity cardio right after our workout.

For abs, we’ve just been mixing it up – inclined abs, hanging leg raises, and various other abs machines. We’ve been hitting abs every workout.

Diet Tweaking
I’ve stuck to the diet I posted in my last post all through July (except for the vacation). Today is the first day that I’m changing my diet – and it’s not a big change. But I’ve been eating 4-5 oz of chicken at 9, 12, 3, and 5. I’m changing that to eating 3-4 oz of chicken at 8, 10, 12, 2, and 4. I’m trying to keep my metabolism up during the day.
