There are 2 schools of thought when it comes to refeeds/carb-ups. There are the anabolic-diet dieters = eat whatever you want in 1-2 days, and there are the BodyOpus-diet dieters who preach controlled carb-ups based on a strict timing regiment.
I don't take one stance or the other until I know more about the diet, goals and stats of the person.

I can't remember your diet, what does that look like? if your diet is dialed in and you're going strong why add the t3?
Below are my stats, goals, gear, diet and supplements for this cycle. I probably don't need the T3, at least not yet. Right now my energy is through the roof and I sweat like a horse all day long.

I am using a hybrid ketogenic diet (TKD/CKD). I am taking Glucorell-R (2 per/meal) with my weekend carb loading phase.
LBM = Protein intake on all days accept for the day before the Carb-up. I drop them to 100 on that day to make certain my body is in ketosis. This way when I start to carb-up my body uses the carbs + Glucorell-R to refill glycogen and continue to use fat for energy. The first two days of the week the carbs are kept below 20 because the carb reloading phase will be plenty to allow for two good workouts. For days 3-5 carbs are kept at 25-50 consumed 30-60 minutes pre-workout (none PWO and only Pre-WO when needed). This should be enough to boost workout performance and not hinder the effects of the ketogenic diet.
