This was not a great week. Not a great last couple of days. Yesterday was good on carbs, but other days, not so much.
I ate french fries and a burger Thursday night. Attended a tasting at a small spirits distillery, and drank the equivalent of about 4 shots, maybe more. Woke up in the middle of the night with knee pain that persisted through the next day. Inflammation.
A a positive note, I did intervals on the elliptical yesterday, which I haven't done in about a month, and noticed a significant change in leg strength. I don't do straight intervals on the elliptical. My workout goes soemthing like this: 3 minute warm up, 1 minute sprint, 2 minute recovery, 2 minutes high level 8 steps forward and 8 steps back so forth so on, recovery, sprint, back and forward steps, etc. Up until a month ago, I was setting my forward and back step interval at level 8. But yesterday, level 8 was too easy. I bumped it up to 10 but felt even that might have been too low. What this means is that my legs have gotten significantly stronger, as have my glutes. Always a good thing.
I'm ready to cut out the carbs again. Make it thorugh a week without falling off the wagon. No cheating at the office or in restaurants while traveling. See if I can go 7 or 8 days in a row.
My goal is to eat no grains or starches until next Monday, May 23. Eight days straight.
