I am going to try cardio here and there, but lay off the lifting for a bit. Not that I was doing that much, but seems ever time I lift or twist it re tweaks the muscle pull.DAY 35 COMPLETE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanniek71 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 DAY 37 - Tuesday August 27thInfo: Got a lot of veggies in the house and got some bulk cooking done so there is less scrambling and more relaxing when thinking about whats for dinner. Felt really good today for some reason, I think finally being back home, with food cooked and not much else to do was a nice relief. Although hardcore practice for the Utah State IDPA match starts tomorrow, I am not going all the way to Utah to make a stupid mistake and lose the match like I did in Colorado! More on that here: Click to see how I fared at the Colorado State IDPA Championships. Did well breaking the caffeine issue I had last week though, no headaches and only an iced tea here and there!

amberino21 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I think adding more vegies would do a lot for your training and recovery - your intake is very limited! Perhaps using lettuce leaves instead of the coconut wraps, and using other vegies as the filing would get you eating more, and with greater variety! You could add grated carrot, beetroot, capsicum strips, cucumber etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanniek71 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Amber, I guess I need to do a better job of describing my food, in the coconut wraps there is so much lettuce I can't get them closed, I have to eat them like a taco! Ill start adding some more photos, but I am getting about 3 cups of veggies per meal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberino21 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 But you don't have a huge variety - nutritionally you'd be better having 2 cups of a variety. (And two cups of lettuce is nothing! You're talking to the person who starts a salad with about 6 cups of mixed leaves before adding everything else!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanniek71 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Just measured and it's about 3 cups not 2. And I'm eating 2 of them so I'm close to your salad veggie amount wise! I will expand the variety a bit, that's actually why I made the ceviche and stir fry lots of different veggies in those. Plus I was poor the last few weeks so I had to go with the cheapy veggie aka lettuce (I know bad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanniek71 Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 DAY 40 - Friday August 30thInfo: Thanks to amberino21 for opening my eyes a big on my veggie selection, which was just not a very good variety. I took it to heart and am trying to get at least 3 different types of veggies with each meal now. That wont always be possible, but I will at least mix it up across my meals for the day and get variety that way. I also have made sure I am starting with at LEAST 3 cups of veggies, more greens!!!! I also have decided to add some photos of what I'm eating to better convey what I am getting. These salads were HUGE and delicious!Food Log:Breakfast: Chicken, Spring mix lettuce/Spinach salad with mushrooms, carrots, avocado, and black olives. Topped with homemade habanero salsa and balsamic and olive oil dressing.

I went knowing I would likely have some drinks to celebrate with them, and enjoy the good food. Well I damn near enjoyed all the food/drinks/snacks until it fell off!...cardinal sin #3 for the day....... Here is where I am at (and for me this is actually a good thing) I have 1 cheat day left. Yep that's it. One......for the rest of the year. I have no more freebies after that one is gone, which for me will increase my focus, and keep me on track. I know some of you are like yeah right, hes done, no way he will make it....PLEASE PLEASE tell me that in a mssg, comment or to my face...it just fuels my fire further to succeed! Food Log: Breakfast: none Lunch: handful of almonds, apple chips Dinner: Smoked chicken leg, jalapeno's stuffed with cream cheese, and sausage, potato salad, potato chips, Doritos, cake, booze, sour cream dip, baked beans, and whatever else I could shovel in to my face.
