Recovery Days Week 0

I figured I would just post my thoughts and diet for all my recovery days in just one post per week and update a single post everyday for the sake of keeping everything in one place.

Recovery Day 1
Stats:
Weight 149.4 lbs
Body fat: 9.9 %

Diet:
Had 1 scoop of whey with 1/2 cup of whole milk, multi-vitamins, and fish oil. 
1 Cup green tea
3 egg steak and cheese omelet
1 cup coffee
Large handful of roasted almonds
2 Top Loin beef steaks (1 lb total) and a side of kimchi

Thoughts:
I'm incredibly sore. Particularly in my pectorals, biceps, and upper back. Forearms a little bit too. Legs aren't too bad, but I've been sprinting a lot recently, so that probably helps. Getting dressed this morning was quite a chore. Usually soreness like this is two days after my workouts if there's been a lull in training or something, but I've never had soreness like this the next day. I guess that's a testament to the level of in-roading I achieved?

Recovery Days 2-5

I thought I would condense this a little bit just for space-sake. I kept my diet fairly consistent all week so I figured I'd just post it all in one big spot.

*Morning: Some sort of omelette, with 4-6 eggs and cheese (various veggies)
Lunch: Large Chicken breast with bacon and veggies
Dinner: 1 lb beef (in various forms/cuts) and spinach + protein shake

*Some days I skip breakfast and just add an 8 oz steak to my lunch.
