Today I have decided to try something different. I was going to up the weights and lower the reps. This is supposed to wear down your muscle more and cause your body to build more muscle tissue rather than just maintain what I already have. I didn’t really succeed with adding much weight, I’m apparently [...]

Today was another Taco Bell day for lunch. I’m really liking their chicken soft tacos. The only thing I hate about it is that every day I go there my sodium level is screwed for the day. Like I have decided last time though, I opted not to get their crappy salad and made myself [...]
This week was not perfect but pretty decent. I kind of fell off the wagon in terms of cardio over the holiday weekend, I skipped cardio on two days. I just couldn’t squeeze it in with all the other things that have been going on around the house with the kids, hanging Christmas lights on [...]
Today I went bike riding with my son for 30 minutes. Since we use the Adams Trail-a-bike attachment I pretty much pedal for two. We rode out to the playground then met up with mom and my daughter who took the car. The weather has turned for the worst and got pretty cold and super [...]
Today I ate clean. I had dark meat turkey brown rice and steamed veggies for lunch and dinner. I’m growing pretty tired of turkey now, I think it’s time to get some beef. The only item that I wasn’t planning on having and succumbed to peer pressure was 100 grams of smoothie. My wife decided [...]
I have skipped morning snack again, but it seems like I will have to skip it forever. Or maybe drop to half a cup of rice per meal. Or go with one scoop of whey protein in the afternoon instead of two. Something has to give. Since I have dropped weight my basal metabolic rate [...]
I almost didn’t make the photos for today. Even though today was a day off from work, I was just too busy. But I managed to snap the shots just before bedtime and I put them together the next morning, so here they are for 11/27/2009. The difference is not too much from the picture [...]
I had skipped cardio yesterday, I just didn’t have time for it and I thought I was going to make up for it today. Well that didn’t happen. I was just glad to put in my hour for today. Granted I did some pretty good walking yesterday and today but I don’t quite count the [...]
Another day at home, another decent food day, all things considering. I have started out the morning well, skipped the mid-morning snack and ate the leftover stuff I made yesterday for today’s lunch. Then I gulped down my 50g of protein in the afternoon. Dinner was rough again, I was supposed to eat some lean [...]
