Day 5 of a planned 5 day ‘no solid food’ fast
Blood sugar 99 mg/dL

💪🏾 Apparently I cannot lose weight and lift heavier weights at the same time. Perhaps it can be done, but apparently *I* cannot do it.

🏋🏾 I had to reduce the weight in my workout yesterday from 200lbs to 180lbs. I actually completed my 30 squats at 200lbs, but, in the end I was barely dipping down. I did 3 deadlifts at 200lbs and then gave in and de-loaded to 180lbs. I was able to get through all the remaining lifts and sets.

🥛 Before the workout I drank a 70 carb 650 calorie milkshake that I hoped would ‘carb me up’ without causing me to go on an eating ‘carb binge’ (and also keep my ‘no solid food fast’). I didn’t go on a ‘carb binge’ but, it also wasn’t enough to power my workout. Next week, if I am struggling on Tuesday’s workout, I will eat a bag of tortilla chips the day before. That will definitely ‘carb me up’.

🏃🏾 This morning I plan to do a 5 mile run before work. I really enjoy the days when I am not lifting and fasting, and can run before work. Nothing feels better!

😎 Life is Good! Have a great day everyone!

So glad you enjoy your running! I used to run before my knees went - there is something about the freedom and that runner's high! Have a great weekend!!

@nikeit - I used to have really bad knee issues when running, then a friend showed me the "Pose method" and I was able to not have any more knee issues https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=running+pose+method

there is something to consider. I was told a long time ago that trying to lose weight while lifting weights is what you look at. when lifting weights you look in the mirror and not the scale. it becomes how you look rather than how much you weigh

@dennisnarc - I agree, but not getting fat is still my #1 (sigh)
