Today was another really decent day in terms of food. I might not be 100% accurate on my numbers as we went out for lunch and I had to reconstruct the sandwich from the ingredients but I think it’s close enough for all practical purposes. We didn’t really go out, we went for a train [...]

Cardio

Wow! I have almost forgotten that this category even exists, that’s how long ago it’s been since I have written an entry for it. As much dedication and determination I have started my holiday break with things didn’t exactly work out as planned. I have skipped four consecutive cardio days in a row. For two [...]

Today was good in terms of calories and not so good in terms of protein. The reason why it was good on the calories is that I ate no snacks and decent meals. The reason why it was bad in terms of protein is because I ate no snacks and decent meals. Since 40 grams [...]

Photo Update

Looks like the size gain on my bicep and calf was just temporarily. They are back to where they were a week ago. Chest and thigh has shrunk another 0.25 inch. I had an equipment malfunction during the last set of photos so their lighting was not perfect but this time I had it all [...]

What a perfect day! At least on the eating front. I managed to eat 1,400 calories and still eat almost 140 g of protein. Let me tell you, it’s not as easy as it sounds. 140 grams of protein contains 560 calories. So that leaves me with only 840 calories for carbs and fats. And [...]

I haven’t been to the gym in almost a week. Since I use the facility at work I only go on workdays. And since I’ve been home with the family for the past week I haven’t seen the gym in a while. But today I did go. I took my father-in-law to the sporting goods [...]

This morning was the first time I actually felt decent when I looked in the mirror in a long time. I guess 30 lbs is starting to show. # Panera Bread sucks. They claim they're healthy food when in truth it's saturated fat and sodium galore. It pissess me off! #

Weekly Stats, Week 9

( See all Stats entries here)

Another week has passed and I am struggling with my progress for several reasons. 1) I’m on vacation and I find myself super busy with the kids and things to do around the house and enjoying my time off generally. It does not help me at all with keeping my cardio sessions. I have skipped [...]

Today was a very light day in terms of food. I only had breakfast, lunch and dinner and skipped my two snacks. I also only ate a measly 83 grams of protein. This might not be good for my muscles. I’ll have to do better. I ate out for dinner at Red Hot & Blue, [...]
