I noticed a real lag in my energy levels today and I had a hard time getting out of the house. I will have to pay close attention to that over the next few days because if my body sees a problem with the food supply, it will sharply lower my metabolism.
I was half asleep, yet half awake all the way into the afternoon. I got to the gym late, yet still had time for a 25 minute run outside and 20 minutes of weights inside (mostly pull up type stuff) before my clients. The humidity killed me even more and it felt like I had a parachute trailing behind me. Still, I like the outside more than a treadmill. I think I knocked off a good 600 calories or so. Energy fluctuations are to be expected, but not prolonged. Just to be on the safe side, I consumed a few extra calories today, which of course I had no problem doing. After a re-up at the grocery store, here's how it went down.

In the last couple of days, I've been seriously short on the protein due to all the fruit I'm eating. This will most likely hamper weight loss because my carb and fat ratio is high - about 70%. It should be 60% or less. Ideally, you would not want to eat this much fruit. You should substitute it for white meat. However, the diet is only in its 7th day and fruit helps me get my sugar fix and keep me full. In the future, I will be cutting it down.
