NOTES:

-diet officially began on a Monday, but “official weigh-ins” are on Fridays, as Friday will be the day before all competitions (held on Saturdays)

-when inclines are listed for treadmill works (or level on stairs), this indicates highest incline achieved during session, and does not imply that entire session was performed at said incline; typically, incline starts low and increases every 5 minutes to peak height, then decreases every 5 minutes until total time is completed; no holding on to treadmill during walks

-cardio is performed first thing in the morning on an empty stomach (fasted cardio) whenever possible; during the week, cardio is typically performed at home on my treadmill; on weekends, when I start work early at the gym, it is performed before my shift on the step mill; insofar as I take a day off of cardio, it is usually on Wednesdays, because this is my leg-training day
