BARBELL CURLS. LOL!

Remembering how Public Logging is so good at holding you accountable.

Sunday 2/15/15

Breakfast: Marie Calendars Brunch Buffet. I was looking forward to this for a long time but was very disappointed. The food used to be great at this buffet but not so much this time. I ate 1/2 one piece of french toast, 1/2 blueberry filled crepe, 1/2 a biscuit with gravy, some hash browns that tasted like they were fried in overheated degraded vegetable oil and didn't even touch my eggs Bene.

Second plate, had fruit - strawberries, cantaloupe, pineapple and…

Breakfast - spoonful of almond butter, 1 cup blackberries

Lunch - Trader Joe's Israeli Salad with currants, cousin cous, chicken, cilantro lime dressing, pecans.

Eat sugar, burn sugar. Eat fat, burn fat.

Eat sugar, burn sugar. Eat fat, burn fat.

This is a vicious cycle. Carbohydrate (sugar) is your body's preferred source of fuel. That means that if you are eating an equal balance of carbohydrate, proteins, and fats, your body will tend to use the carbs first. That is because it is easier for your body to utilize carbs as a fuel source.

Fat calories will be readily stored if a carb energy…

I'm addicted to sugar!

I love sugar so cutting it out of my diet completely was something I was NOT looking forward to. I started slowly.the first two days I took away my afternoon Swedish Fish fix and replaced it with bubble gum (sugar free of course)I chewed about 2 packs of gum those two to three days. I felt terrible! I had a headache, I felt weak, and irritable. I slowly started taking away my coffee creamer from my morning coffee. By Friday I was drinking black coffee! Thats huge, considering my usually cup of… Continue

In Their Words: Testimonials Don't Lie.

"First of all, bless Jim for all he does and his fierce, caring heart behind it all. Yes, beyond the bands of muscle lies much passion. He truly wants everyone to be happy.

To say I have had a rough chain of events in the last year could be an understatement. I came to Jim at one of the lowest points in my life. I knew if I could dial in my nutrition I could embrace the life "ride" more efficiently. 1 - 1/2 months later I was pleasantly surprised…

Saturday was my rest day and cheat meal. Went for it! At about 12pm, hit Boise Fry Company and I gorged on a huge hamburger on a GF bun and a ton of fries. I also had a glass of red wine.

Later that night I made a ton of homemade guacamole and we ate it with a bunch of Terra vegetable chips.…
