Tomorrow is the beginning of the final phase of this 12-week challenge. We’ll be eating at a 40% caloric deficit these 3 weeks and our cardio portion will be slow and easy. An hour (3 days a week) at 55% MHR. We’ll be doing circuit style weight workouts (3 days a week) as well.
40% caloric deficit for me is – 1262 calories. I’ll be striving for lower carbs (30%) and higher protein (50%) and low fat (20%). 50% carbs is HIGH for me… so I’ll see how well I can do. For those of you watching my menu… I can’t promise I’ll be eating a lot of WHOLE foods to try and get my protein in. I’ll be supplementing with bars and powders… I’m not a HUGE meat eater.
I weighed in yesterday morning and was the exact same as last week. Yesterday was Cycle Day 2, so I was okay with staying even for the week – even though I was on VERY LOW calories all week long. It’s JUST the hormones.
On to Week 10…
