Random Days Off Are Rough

Posted on July 4, 2019July 4, 2019 by John

I was off for the 4th of July and had no plans other than to relax after a rather trying week thus far.  The problem with that, however, is with keeping to the diet plan.  When I am at work, I am distracted by my various responsibilities and between that and the protein drinks between…

Two Classes in a Row

Posted on July 3, 2019July 4, 2019 by John

I do not doubt I could survive taking classes every day, but since I am trying to give my all, I do feel the next day I need a little recovery time.  This week, since I pushed my Monday class to Tuesday, that meant today would be the first time I did two classes in…

Don’t Underestimate the Connection of Diet and Exercise

Posted on July 1, 2019July 1, 2019 by John

The link between diet and exercise is not a new concept, but it was interesting to see it in action this weekend.  On Saturday morning I was at my peak low so far of -2% body fat from day one, but since I had hurt my back friday night, I was completely sedentary Saturday and…

This Week’s Food Prep

Posted on June 23, 2019June 24, 2019 by John

For lunch: Tacos!  Well, kinda.  I will use romaine lettuce for shells. The filling is ground turkey, wild rice, kale, and pico de gallo, plus chili and other seasonings.   I liked this my first week, tho that time I used brown rice instead of wild rice. (See photo.) . I packed away 5 servings ready…

Shrimp!

Posted on June 22, 2019June 24, 2019 by John

I can have 6oz of shrimp as my protein source, and for dinner, I can have some butter (2 tsp) as a fat source.  So cooked some garlic in butter and tossed some shrimp and asparagus and had myself a rather satisfying meal.   I was quite pleased. This was a nice treat and still on…

A More Successful Dining Out

Posted on June 19, 2019June 24, 2019 by John

My first attempt at eating out while keeping to the diet plan left much to be desired, but this time we found a place with decent salads and grilled chicken. I asked for dressing on the side and avoided the few items not on plan.  It was a decent meal tho there were many items…

Less Hungry Today

Posted on June 18, 2019June 24, 2019 by John

I tried a different breakfast option (cup of oats, 6oz ground turkey, a handful of spinach) and that kept me quite full through the morning.  So I think my hunger issues were mostly due to a less substantial, tho more tasty, recipe (cottage cheese, protein powder, and frozen berries). So I have to be mindful…

Weekends are the Hardest

Posted on June 17, 2019June 17, 2019 by John

I have never been on a strict diet before.  Normally I just start substituting less healthy options for healthy and make more mindful decisions.  As a snacker, the protein shakes have helped me between meals during the week, but on weekends… oh that was more of a challenge.  Perhaps it’s because I am a habitual…

OMG a Decent Protein Drink

Posted on June 16, 2019June 17, 2019 by John

When I ordered my supplements I also ordered ice cream flavored protein powder because… well… ice cream.  It was expensive, even with the 40% discount, but my goodness, it was delish. I still have the old stuff I was using so I think going forward I will have one of each daily since the plan…

Eating Out Can be a Challenge

Posted on June 13, 2019June 14, 2019 by John

I had to eat out last night and it was a challenge.  I passed all the places I frequent and knew they would not be acceptable.  I ended up in a diner which normally would work since I can custom my order but this was a small dive of a diner with limited options and…
