How is your energy? I am askin because you ate some chicken thighs and a burger... A sweet potato or some brown rice early in the day isn't gonna slow you down. In fact it might just energize you to work that much harder. I know when I go low carb or ketogenic that I don't have the explosive energy or power that I normally would.

My energy has been pretty good. Going to have some brown rice and vegetables with my chicken today at lunch. Not really intentionally trying to cycle my carbs like that I just make my meals in bulk for the week on Sunday so I don't have to scramble to eat something good for me.

Friday!!!

Shoulders!!! My energy was terrible this this morning. Had to work late yesterday and didnt get the eight hours of sleep I normally get and it was drag ass ugly this morning. Struggled through but not the workout I had planned at all.

Cardio 20 minutes before lifting... None after lifting today...

Military Press 135lbs x 5 Ugh!!
Shrugs 225lbs 4 x 10
Front delt raises 4 x 10 20lbs
Lateral free weights and machine raises 25lbs
Rear Delt work Reverse Flys machine 135lbs 4 x 12

That was pretty much it for today. I went way slower than my normal pace. No lifting tommorow just cardio.
Going to increase my carbs today to help with my energy level.
Meal #1: Post workout shake 50g protein,, 5g creatine and glutamine
