Day 9 - Mmmm, Forbidden Donut

Just a boring old rest day today.  I nailed cardio early and head off to work and had a significantly better day then yesterday.


Tried living without chicken and rice today, only to find that I love fish more than I ever knew.  Had a fish burger for meal 3 and its was seriously delicious.  The best thing I had eaten in the last 9 days for sure!


Hit the gym after work for 20mins cardio and upper abs.  Cardio was a breeze but my poor abs haven't been worked properly for a long time (mainly because I completely forgot about abs last week, my bad haha).  The first set of 20 crunches was a bit of an effort itself but when I layed down for set 2, the weirdest feeling came over me.  It almost felt like I had a bit of a pump going in my abs.  I thought to myself "wow! Time to smash it!"  And just as I was halfway through the first crunch, the feeling became all too familiar. CRAMP!!!  My abs we're cramping like crazy!  I was rolling around on the gym floor trying to make the pain go away but I eventually stood up, stretched myself out and I was good again.  Until I took one step forward and started cramping like crazy again!  I decided that abs can wait until another day haha.


Not sure what brought on the cramps, whether it was because I had eaten only 30mins prior or if it was because I hadn't done a crunch in a number of years.  As you all know, I drink a load of water everyday.  Maybe I need more?


Anyway, I got home and hit the sack to get some rest before I headed back to work at 11pm.  I cooked up some steak for the trip, enough to keep me going for 9 hours but it looks like it'll be an early night tonight, which is good.


Funny story though.  I grabbed a bottle of water at the 7/11 just before I got to work and the bloke behind the counter gave me a 4 pack of donuts for free because I looked tired, bless his cotton socks!  They will have to go to a better home unfortunately because I gotta get shredded!! haha  Must. Resist. Temptation.


Chest and tris tomorrow after meal 2 probably.  Looking forward to it.  Until then...
