Notes:

* I’m back on schedule after travel and, in turn, really want to focus on recovery because things are going to get hard and heavy, so kept the speed consistent and just upped the incline from last time.  Feels good on my hips.  My left hip flexor is a little angry right now, which is an improvement from the pain on the right side, but still something I need to keep aware of.  

* I still look forward to these training days.  Really just dig this plan.

* That PR on the hang from bar was pretty awesome.  I definitely want to keep this regularly programmed into the training.  Very low effort and high effect.

* Already seeing/feeling the carb magic.  It’d been 2 weeks since my last carb-up, so I imagine this will be even more dramatic than last time.  Once again, it’s awesome how I actually experience satiety from the meal and don’t feel a compulsion to binge.  I enjoy the food, eat my fill, and then walk away ready to get “back on the program”. 

* Which, on THAT note, this is going to be a week of fasting focus/Velocity Diet.  And not because of the above meal, but because my Valkyrie is teleworking this week, so I have no one to eat lunch with.  It’s much simpler to pack Metabolic Drive than make a meal for myself, and without someone to eat with I have no real incentive for a “real meal” for lunch, so I’m just going to PSMF up until my end of day meal Tues-Fri, and then eat a BIG end of day meal.  I’m excited for this: it’s how I’d prefer to eat, if given the choice.  I’d rather feast WHEN I eat than have small meals.  Kinda why the warrior diet always appealed to me.
