Vanniek71 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Day 174 - Saturday January 11thInfo: Ahh nothing like getting to sleep in 3 hours, and then getting up and hitting the range for a shooting match. I didn't have to get up until 7:30am today which was glorious in itself, but also it was decent weather, somewhat sunny and mild temperature, and I went and shot with some good friends. That USPSA rust I talked about yesterday was evident, I placed 7th in my division, but it was a lot of fun to say the least! No pictures today, completely forgot to snap some through out the day...Sorry!!!Food Log:Breakfast: 2 cans of smoked oysters in olive oil, 1/2 banana, some left over romaine lettuce, and a few left over green beans (can you tell someone didn't really plan all that well? /points at himself)Lunch: SF beef jerky, 1/2 banana, almond butter for fat.

Well went on a supply run to Costco and about 100 feet in to the store, my youngest daughter spewed all over herself and the floor! Yay! Lol at least the Costco guy was cool about it, and let me abandon my cart (only had 2 things in it) so I could take her home and get her cleaned up...Oh the joys! But hey I went back later and finished my shopping without further incident. Also I again apologize for the delays in getting updates out to my readers, sometimes life gets in the way, and it has been crazy busy lately!Food Log:Breakfast: Smoked oysters in olive oil with chili sauce, romaine salad, and hot sauce (yeah I know, i know but hey it meets the meal template!

It was a healthy and very good hastily tossed together chicken marinara!Dinner: Dill chicken breast sauteed in sun dried tomato infused olive oil (with sun dried tomatoes as well) on a bed of spinach. About a TPS of organic toasted sesame oil for dressing.(For those of you that know me at all...YES I ate tomatoes! For those of you that don't...I'd literally rather die that eat tomatoes!

Vanniek71 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Day 176 - Monday January 13thInfo: Was feeling pretty good today, everything going well, had downed 9 liters of water, ready to hit the CrossFit WOD's again, got to my 2nd set of exercises, and pulled my back muscle again doing body weight air squats. Two words come to mind.....well maybe 3 but I'll censor the 3rd.... the other two are Pissed, and LAME. I did get some fresh OOM and bulk Salmon cakes made today, so that helped ease the frustration a bit, but still....come on back, get your sh** together!

Vanniek71 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Day 177 - Tuesday January 14thInfo: So I broke down and scheduled a doctors appt for my back. One of my friends suggested a sports medicine specialist, so I go and see him on Friday. I just need a solution so this stops happening. I hate nagging injuries.

Vanniek71 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Day 178 - Wednesday January 15thInfo: I am the first to admit that throughout my life I would find ways to work smarter not harder, and while that is a good plan 99% of the time, I have found that being healthy is that 1% where you want to work harder AND smarter. What does that mean? Well workouts.....I want to work harder, push myself and not use a machine to make myself feel better about the amount of weights I can move around. Think you are a bad ass in the gym? Try a CrossFit workout with body weight only, and when you are about to or already have barfed all over, ask yourself.....are those barbell curls really helping you all that much? Is your muscle functional or just aesthetic? If all you want is muscles that look good but don't work, by all means stop reading now, but I prefer muscles that look good AND work......hell of a concept there eh? And now to the smarter part....I cook in bulk, pre-package lunches etc. etc. so it's ready to go for me, I don't have the option of 'buying" lunch daily because I go in with the pre-conceived notion that my breakfast, lunch, dinner is already set for me. Not only does this fall under smarter, it also falls under "I eat a lot healthier than most everyone, its tastier than the garbage you are eating, and it cost about 50% less" Let that sink in for a minute.....healthier and it cost less? BULLSH*T you say? See my post coming up where I break it down in numbers for you all. It's possible, and I'm living it! Food Log: Hot Sauce Bath.......MANDATORY! Breakfast: Salmon cakes with a large mixed green salad, Dill/onion OOM and hot sauce dressing. Lunch: Salmon cakes with a large mixed green salad, Dill/onion OOM and hot sauce dressing.Dinner: Salmon cakes with steamed cauliflower, hot sauce bath, and almonds for fat.See a reoccurring theme here? These Salmon cakes are out of this world taste wise, and they are super portable, don't need to be reheated...etc I would eat them every day alllll day if I could!Snack: noneExercise Log: none Day 178 COMPLETE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanniek71 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Day 179 - Thursday January 16thInfo: Since I am getting more and more in to the Paleo way of eating I have been thinking of how I can get more immersed in it, well today I took the next step. I literally went full Paleo, and while I learned a lot, I would not recommend it. A quick summary for you: Shots were fired, teeth are sharp, and raptors do not make very good pets...... Whole360 went full Paleo....and it was INTENSE! Food Log: Breakfast: Steak with a large mixed green salad, cauliflower, and Dill/onion OOM and hot sauce dressing. Lunch: Salad with chicken breast, sausage, and Olive oil/Balsamic dressing.Dinner: 3 egg Omelet with a ton of spinach, SF red pepper sausages, and sun dried tomatoes.Snack: noneExercise Log: none Day 179 COMPLETE What have you done to ensure your long term survival lately?

Vanniek71 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Day 180 - Friday January 17thInfo: Got the back looked at today, found out that since I stopped playing hockey regularly and competitively (and stopped stretching) I was down to about 30% flexibility in my hamstrings and hip flexors. The issue with that is, is that your back then does all the work, nerves get inflamed and it becomes a viscous cycle. I also learned that doctor that knows what he's doing can inflict much pain very quickly....but then it feels so good later (deep tissue massage) I have to go back and get some follow ups, but I am now at least working towards a solution! Food Log: Putting the "D" in delicious..... Breakfast: 2 SF red pepper/spinach sausages, large mixed greens salad, OOM/hot sauce dressing Lunch: 2 SF red pepper/spinach sausages, large mixed greens salad, OOM/hot sauce dressingDinner: 4 egg omelet with 1 SF red pepper/spinach sausage, spinach, sun dried tomato, and a big pile of guacamole!Snack: Frozen fruitExercise Log: none Day 180 COMPLETE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food Log: Breakfast: Almonds, dried fruit, and no excuse for not having breakfast planned. I was so excited this AM that I completely blew my meal!

I do things to make people laugh and to say the least they can make others stop and think "What the HELL is wrong with this guy" I do it to lighten the mood, change a bad day to a good one, and mostly because I can. So today I played a little trickery....on myself. I was craving Nachos. And I mean I WAS going to eat them no matter what. So what did I do? I made Faux-chos AND IT WORKED!!! So what did I do? I put the meat on a plate, buried it in lettuce, coated it in salsa and hot sauce, and dug in. I pretended it was really crunchy for the simulated "chips"......and it was glorious!

Vanniek71 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Day 195 - Saturday February 1stInfo: Speaking of the school thing yesterday, I am taking 2 nutrition classes this semester and one of them wants us to do an experiment with clean eating or fasting or something like that, but since I am already buried deep in the Whole360 I am not changing that. What I am going to do is eat fruit either at dinner or after dinner for a week or two and see if the burst of carbs/sugars effect how I look/feel/weigh. Should be fun to mess with, and we will see if the experts are right that fruit later in the day isn't optimal for you when you are trying to lose weight. I'll be starting this on Monday.Food Log: Cavemen didn't have slow cookers......but they should have!Breakfast: Holland pie (sausage, egg, celery, zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli) Lunch: Scrambled eggs, onion, black olives, covered in salsa.
