As great as all the days this week has been with my nutrition today was a semi-failure. I wouldn’t call it a complete failure just not as good as the rest of the days. I still managed to stay solid on my calories but my protein intake has suffered. Why? Because of red meat. I [...]
Yup, I went running again. I did the same 2.24 mile 3 lap run I did yesterday. The only addition was the extra lap afterward that I walked as a cool down lap. My time has improved from 20:40 to 20:13 which actually puts me right at the 9 minute mile mark. It will need [...]
Since I went running for the first time on Saturday I felt I needed some better shoes than the worn out running shoes that I bought for everyday wear a year ago and they have long been decommissioned to lawn mowing duty. So I went to the local sporting goods store and started looking for [...]
It is almost unimaginable but I have managed to eat 140 grams of protein while only eating 1,253 calories. And I did it with whole foods and without supplements. I just can’t believe it. How did I do it? I started out with a late but solid breakfast that included two eggs, 2 oz of [...]
Today I did something I didn’t think I would do for a while. I ran. My most avid commenter Andrew from Andrew Is Getting Fit is probably going to love this. I was a runner when I was 13. Then I quit and things went downhill for me and the weight piled on. I have [...]
It’s not really the strength exercise that I wanted to write about, it’s more about my father and my concerns. He has a bad back.He has had a bad back for as long as I remember. He built our house with his own two hands and lifted way too much building material for way too [...]
Today I ate great again despite the sabotaging efforts of my wife. Breakfast was yogurt and almonds. For lunch I didn’t have time to prepare anything so I took a bag of 90 second brown rice with me and 6.4 oz pack of albacore tuna. Added a cup of broccoli to it and it was [...]
You might have wondered where yesterday’s cardio entri went but the truth is that I just didn’t do any. I felt pretty bad about it but not bad enough to actually do it. And not bad enough to keep with the regime the next day. Today I did my 30 minutes at work but then [...]
Since I stayed home with my kids yesterday I had to make up for my back day along with my chest day today. For some reason I felt great doing bench presses today. I could lift the weights easier than ever and it just felt fantastic. My back wasn’t too bad either, I have upped [...]
Today was just perfect again in terms of nutrition. I have managed to eat 20% fat, 40% carb and 40% protein which is fantastic. My saturated fat was only 2.2% which is also superb. I’m very happy with today’s food intake. The morning was my well established boring yogurt with nuts, I just can’t find [...]
