Day 14: Lift Day (Rotation 4, Day 2)
Based on how I feel I believe I need more time before I should continue with the lifting. I had some less than healthy food choices over the last couple of day, but it is not a huge derailment. I'll tinker with my intake to compensate for the change.
The alternating 2:2 high carb / low carb rotation makes sense in theory, but the practice is a little hard when certain days line up. It is hard to get the right intake on heavier work days, and it is hard to keep the calories more limited on my off days.
I will continue with this rotation for the intended term, but I may need to adjust the schedule. I do not know if this is true, but I have read that it may be better to have longer periods of increased or decreased intake to optimize for gains or losses, but I wonder if I might do a 1:1 type schedule.
My thoughts are Tuesday and Thursday for the increased intake and exercise days. Either Sunday or Saturday could be used depending on the work schedule, so it would work out well I think.
I'm being impatient as I really want to lose all of this weight NOW, but I also want to become stronger and healthier beyond simply being "skinny". It is hard to be patient and to wait for results. Instant gratification is just so... instantly gratifying! Guess I'll just have to wait D:.
