Carb Weekend

Yesterday and today were carb loading days. For two days I eat mostly carbs. Yesterday for example I ate the following:

2 orders of hotcakes for breakfast
large french fries, hamburger for lunch
half a medium pepperoni pizza for dinner

In between I drank 2 20 oz bottles of pop, a package of reeses pieces, an orange, some grapes and some other things. In all, I estimate the daily calorie intake of about 4-5000 calories. During the carb phase I get really thirsty and I will usually gain about 5 lbs by Monday morning. A lot of that is water weight, so it usually comes off by Wednesday or Thursday.

I measure my progress by the lowest morning weight that I get to by the morning before the first carb day. This week I weighed 237.5 which is about a half pound of weight loss since the same day last week. That's not great, it may be that I ate too much on the carb days last week or it could just be that I have started lifting more regularly and I gained a little muscle.

I live for the weekend carb days.
