Day 8 and Day 9 Meltdown 2010 lost 5lbs and 5.5 inches lost

Well after a week of ED I am finally feeling tip top. I went through caffeine/sugar/wine withdrawal the first few days, then I kinked my neck and out was out for two days. Then with the wave diet I felt a bit light headed, but now my energy levels are up up up. I am in bed by 10:30/11:00 pm by the latest and sleeping like a baby. Taking my supplements religiously and really sticking to the plan. Things are starting move and I feel great. I was looking at my results last round and I can see where I was making mistakes especially when it comes to the wave diet. I was eating way to many carbs during the three protein days. Now I have cut out carbs almost completely during those days and what a difference! I understand how it exercising during those days burns fat instead of sugar. If your body is burning sugar it's not burning fat that is for sure. I am making slight adjustments to my work out schedule as well. Since I am not a morning person I find that starting my first work out after breakfast is best. I get better results. I am also adding weights here and there it see how that will effect my results that is why there are fluctuations in my numbers. I am very determined to get to where I want to be which is 155 by the end of this challenge. I haven't cheated on the diet but, I am behind 2 days behind on the exercises since I hurt my neck.



This is a proven method and I am sticking to it like glue. I also understand what it means when DAX says he is a COACH. This makes perfect sense. I used to race road bikes (peddle kind) and our coach was there to help us be the best racers we could be; he wanted us to win and reach our goals. I remember how great I felt when I won my one and only race... the first thing I did was thank my coach. That was along time ago, but I will never forget that feeling, so thank you DAX for your honesty and support.



The workouts are becoming much easier especially the ICP. I will probably do the second round twice if that makes sense. Also the last exercise of the power circuit is getting easier. I have been able to do it but it takes a while. My favorites are pyramid and of course MELTDOWN love those.
