Best week yet on Day34/24

Yesterday I completed my leg work and found it tough on the last set to push through - not sure why as the weights weren't any higher. Could have been the extreme heat in the gym but it was a struggle. Nevertheless, I finished my 3x12/10/8/6 not the strongest but finished anyways.
I did finally do 5 min of sit-ups, then it was time to complete 30 min of cardio which was wicked; guess that made up for my not so strong leg work.
Today is carb loading and my cheat meal; this PM it's upper body strength training and 30 min of cardio.
On Sat it is all cardio day...45 min in the AM with sit-ups and hoping to get another cardio session in the PM sometime.
I must say that this week has been one where I've seen the most progress overall - in how my clothes fit, to my measurements and noticeable difference in fat loss.
I'm very encouraged - finally my nutritional and exercise plans are in harmony with each other. I'm enjoying my low carb days more and more and it has now become a regular part of my lifestyle.
My main staples through out this phase in eating has been:
Oatmeal
Protein oatmeal pancakes
Eggs/Whites
Protein Powder all natural
Peppers/Spinach
Chicken/Turkey/Lentils
Almonds
My supplemental intake:
Glutamine
CLA
Chromium
Omega 3-6-9 oil
B Complex
Multi
Calcium
Vitamin D

Remember when you believe for the best and give your best, the best will come!

You are sooooo on track Diane. Love seeing you doing so good. Am thinking how much fun you are having today with carb overload and getting something special. Today I had my first real green smoothie, and think I liked it. Have a good weekend!
