M3:D16 Round trip baby

 Today started out with an awesome cardio session. Upon returning from the gym I had to head to the airport for my trip to Seattle. I packed my small cooler with my meals for the day and brought it with me. The plane was practically empty on the way up. I passed the time by listening to several podcasts on the way up. The time flew by so quickly. The weather in Seattle was cool, but comfortable. I was picked up at the airport and brought to the site. I did what I had to do. I discovered that things were not as bad as I had expected, but there's alot of work to get done up there. I will have to take another trip up there mid-June. I returned home in one piece and I'm exhausted now. It is time for bed. FYI, yesterday's post was put up around 8:45 p.m., but for some reason it never published. It was still set to "Pending" when I came in tonight. Three more days of cutting and then the bulk begins! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 I had a great PACE cardio session on the elliptical today. I went up to just about the highest resistance and just cranked out the paces (over 270) for the working portions of the PACE session. I have had a tendency not to hit the cardio sessions as hard as I should and that's changed of late. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Travelling is no reason to get off track. It just takes more advanced planning, but it can be accomplished. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 How far in advance do you plan your meals? Comment this post to answer the question. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Until tomorrow...GET BACK TO LIFTING! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hi Mike,
Been keeping track of the RTP members for the past 6 weeks and would like to join when I settle and have a permanent internet connection.
I've looked at your accountability log and noticed that you're doing some serious protein loading!!!!
Would like to know if you're going to do a detox at any stage to "reboot" your metabolism?
Keep up the good work...
Stef

Stefan, as mentioned in my post Mission 2, Day 99: Nutritional Secret Unveiled! I was following a modified Velocity Diet plan. The idea was to cut the carbs out almost completely (100 grams or less) and replace it with protein to keep the calories up. Yes, this resulted in what you call protein loading, but no, I'm not planning any kind of detox. As you most likely know, the body will only use the protein that it needs and flushes the rest away. In my case, I added LBM and reduced a ton of body fat during that experiment. After that experiment I slowly increased my carbs. For the past few weeks I've been back to carb cycling and have been slowly increasing my calories. I am about to go into a bulking cycle, so I want my body to be ready. As you will see from M3
