Why I eat right

Yesterday my schedule was different and it threw my eating off a bit in the am.  By afternoon it became  a downward spiral.

And then I hit the gym...

Deadlifts were the prescribed strength training from my coach.  And I was regretting my decision of gummy bears and popcorn for my snack by second set.  I record all my workouts in this great little book that I used to loath that Jeremy makes us use.  Now its like a version of crack.  I look back and compare my workouts and how I'm improving.  My last DL was a 6x3 this was a 5x6.  Different but I should still have comparable ranges.  

Not post gummy bears. 

My final set was 245 and it was hell.  I had a full week of rest, that should have been nothing.  I felt nothing in my legs.  Not even burn.  They just felt nothing.  And that is why I manage my diet.  Because I can feel it in my workout.  I can tell it gives me the energy to do a workout and keep going.  To hit the next level.  Its also nice to not get harrassed about gaining weight by my coaches.
