3 Week Cut – Day 1

Day 1 (7/14/15)

It’s the first official day of 3-week cut for me, yes even though it’s a Tuesday. Unfortunately I haven’t had the time yet to make a video and post it up on YouTube just yet (SUBSCRIBE HERE), but I fully plan on making a series of videos throughout these three weeks with updates and showing the scale, etc…

Meal 1

5 Egg Whites (15 tbsp)

Just look how unappetizing that looks, however it’s delicious!

This meal is out of my diet plan, but I went ahead with it due to time constraints for today. I didn’t take a picture of this, maybe it was the shame?

Exercise 6: Pushup to Burpee to Star Jump, 3 Sets of 20 Reps

I’m not really sure what the EXACT total calories burned for this session were as I wasn’t fully paying attention to my Fitbit Charge HR, however my heart rate stayed between 125 – 146 when lifting and 155 – 166 when performing exercise 6. From what I can tell it looks like I lost somewhere around 430 calories from that workout, which isn’t a cardio-focused workout.
