Friday - post-op day 9

Aerobic recovery 
3 sets:
10:00 AirDyne @ Z1
10:00 mobility/stretching

Hamstrings are still extremely tight, but getting a little better.  Knee is dramatically less swollen today than it has been!


Nutrition update:
  • 2260 calories; 165g protein, 175g carb, 100g fat, with consistent calorie intake across the whole week
    • super easy to hit these numbers on training days; I'm usually 10-30g short on carbs on rest days without the vitargo
  • Shift some carbs to the AM, so that all meals have P/F/C
    • done, easy - more consistent energy throughout the day
  • Add BCAAs before all training sessions (Z1 and training)
    • done, easy - don't really notice a difference
  • Ditch the creatine in my PWO shake (probably for a total of 8 weeks)
    • done, easy - don't really notice a difference
  • Focus on quality/nutrient dense foods
    • done, easy - don't even miss Quest bars, I knew those were too good to be true
  • Surgery, 3 pints of gelato over 4 days, and weird/limited training this week did not completely derail me
    • annoyed that as soon as I get into a good groove, something happens to throw me off - won't be able to track accurately while on vacation, but committed to eyeballing portions and maintaining quality
Weight:
July 16: 165.3
July 21: 163.2

July 31: 162.1

This is uncharted territory.  Officially at my lowest adult weight.
