sick,sick,sick & back to Cardio

so it's the flu season but Hot Damn why is everyone sick and getting me sick?
it happens alot to me
my co-workers come in sick and BOOM!
I'm down for the count.
really bad timing too as I've been getting ready for art shows and needed all my energy to be focused on creating.
anyway yesterday and today were the first days back from whatever nasty bug I had.
I'll spare the details but
yesterday I did cardio at home on the stationary bike and followed my lovely aerobics tape for a total of 65 mins.
today I did 50 min. on the bike then 10 mins aerobics and 10 more mins on the bike for a grand total of 70 mins.

day off

ok, I took Thursday as a planned rest day
I wanted to hit either back or legs today but I woke up with a really bad headache and completely stuffed up and congested.
Yesterday I was feeling run down too but had to stay up later than usual to iron the new dyed garments I'd made.
not a happy camper right now as I sit here at work I feel fine and wish I could have worked out this morning.
oh well hopefully next week will go better.
I will prayerfully start with back/traps tomorrow and then go to the CAL football game.
the next few days
chest/triceps sunday,monday off,tuesday cardio,wednesday delts/biceps,thursday cardio,friday back/traps,saturday chest/tri's and sunday legs(quads)/calves.
I hate a break in my schedule due to illness.
blah!
at least its friday!
GO BEARS!

day off

today was a day off from lifting
still incredibly sore
my diet and nutrition is still a struggle
can't seem to get on track to eat 5 meals and then again
5 clean meals.
super frustrating that my appetite is just not there unless I train (lift weights)
it's a mental block I'm sure
so today I did do cardio but didn't have time to stretch which really sucks!
my legs and back are super tight

day off

sore as hell
first time since I hurt my back that I've done squats
felt good no pain but man am I sore
good sore though
I kept it light and only went up to 225
didn't want to push it

today I did 45 mins of slow cardio on the stationery bike so I could stretch
don't think I'm gonna cheat to much today?
ummmm....maybe?

my diet has been ok so far
always staying lower than caloric intake for maintenance but not always from the best food
sources.

day off

no time to stretch this morning
feeling tired so took the day off from lifting
I'm starting to track and plan my meals again
I plan on starting with 1 med carb day,2 high carb days and 4 low carb days
low carb days will be 150 g or lower
med carb days will be between 150-200 g
high carb days will be between 200-800 g
I will use fit-day to track this and see how successful it is and go from there
If I don't see results in 2-3 weeks I will add more low carb days
I will also start doing 45 mins cardio before training a major bodypart then 15 mins cardio in between then train a smaller body part.
