I was so busy running around today that I actually forgot to eat my second whole meal, so it was another 4-shake, 1 solid meal day. No biggie. Today I pulled off a circuit training workout, with 300 reps in the first circuit, and 210 reps in the second circuit, each consisting of 5 different exercises. I was pouring sweat but I felt incredible. I haven’t done a nice lactate-inducing workout in several months, so I was completely blown away by the improvement in my conditioning since then. I think a large part is a result of my muay thai training, but I have to believe that the lower bodyweight and body fat levels play an important role too. I think it made a decent substitute for my missed class this week.
For my second last shake, I experimented with a protein shake recipe that I read on Gustavo’s journal, which basically included 2 whole Omega-3 eggs instead of one of the MD scoops. It honestly tastes like eggnog. Especially with a little cinnamon, it’s delicious. It was just a test, so I won’t be doing it for the rest of this final week, but I’ll definitely incorporate this recipe in the next program, since it’s more flexible in terms of food choices.
On another topic, I have definitely noticed a big change in the way I’m treated by people these days, especially females. I catch them looking, making eye contact without breaking it, and most of all, touching. I probably got more chest, shoulder, and arm grabs in the past week than I did in the past 5 years. I don’t know if it’s the self-esteem that is being conveyed, or if it’s the actual physique, but it’s an amazing phenomena and it feels good. Damn good. It’s a completely different world out there. And I’m not even at the finish line yet! It’s gonna be a big summer.
