NUTRITION:

Honestly, not much appetite today. Was really busy with things and did a special class tonight at a gym in Boise with Katie.

Also, the deadlift and dip program I have been doing has actually left me feeling a little sick for the rest of the day. Following my own rule of just plain not eating if I don't feel like…

“Graduate” to Building Strength and Health.

Conversation with a long-time member of IKSC yesterday about goals: It really brought me to one of the things of which I am most proud.

I feel safe to say that not many are here at IKSC because they are trying to “lose” anything, and there…

21 Instant and Irresistible Low-Carb/High-Nutrient Snacks

21 Instant and Irresistible Low-Carb/High-Nutrient Snacks

It is said that poor eating is poor planning. I can’t agree more. Have these on hand when time is an issue.

I have found that pre-planning nutritious and irresistible low-carbohydrate meals/snacks is vital in dealing with sugar cravings. Here are a few examples to have on-deck when cutting out the carbs.

All of these can be prepared in about a minute. Bacon can be pre-cooked and eaten cold or…

Rest day for me. I had breakfast at 1030. I had MCT oil, vitamin d, and fish oil, coffee, 2- sausage patties 26g fat, 0 carbs, 16g protein. I had a meeting in a Council, so I didn't have time to eat lunch. I had 1.5 pepperoni stick. 19g fat, 4.5g carbs, 15g protein. At 6:00 I had 1/4c of mixed berries 0g fat, 4g carbs, 1g protein. 1oz of raw sunflower seeds. 14g fat, 6g carbs, 6g protein. I only drank 32oz of water. I probably won't eat dinner because I'm not hungry. Is that okay?

So I started my day off with a cup of coffee, MCT oil, fish oil and vitamin d. That was around 10. I didn't have much of an appetite, so I didn't eat again until 530. Do to the Super Bowl, I had my "cheat" meal of round steak with bell pepper, onions and tomato paste, rice and a tortilla. I also had a bit of cheesecake.... Bad, bad, bad! I drank 64 oz of water.

I can guarantee that I did not get even close to enough protein today, but it is no big deal. I will make up for it during the week. I would be lucky to have gotten in 50grams today. So, those of you that struggle to get your protein in, I understand.

I started my morning off with a "Katie's Bar." I'm not sure how many grams of carbs, protein and fat are in those bars. For lunch I had 4oz of chicken: protein: 43 grams. Fat: 5g and no carbs. 1tbs MCT. Dinner: Chicken:43g of protein, 5g fats and no carbs. I drank 78 ounces of H2O. My workout was a beat down at Kettle bells. :) I wasn't that hungry today. Tomorrow I will concentrate on my supplements and 3 full meals. Oh, and I chewed about 4 pieces of bubblegum......

TAEKWON-DO HYUNG PRACTICE AND HEAVY BAG WORK.

NUTRITION:

Very high on the carbs and low on the protein for me today. This was intentional glycogen refill after being very low for the past several days. My weight was down to 222 tonight, so it was time to refill some of that and hit it hard again. Note the jasmine rice in my log. It is one of the safe starches, but I still have to be pretty careful. If I ate like this more often I'd get…
