Ha! I made it through the holidays within my 5 up 5 down window. I'm up 4 today but could be down 5 tomorrow. Something I'll never understand but just except after so many years. Not bad since I admittedly went off schedual and carb count a few times. I didn't always have a taste tester around while making others regular food. Also had chick pea pasta a couple of times and some fruit. Fruit is a big no no for me. Tomorrow restarts my exercise schedule. The suspension gym comes back out and the hangers come off the bike. When not raining AJ,who gained more weight than me will be road walking to increase miles. All this said...sshhhh Hubby whispers to me on Christmas...." For being the oldest, your is the smallest tightest button in the house this year "...LOL To their defense, the girls didn't drag a buck backwards a 1/4 mile up a hill by doing 3ft squat and pulls....
Yearly physical today. Lost a few #'s , BP was 125/74, vitamins Was upped to 5000 per day until March then back down to 2000 til Sept when it goes back up to 5000 again. Blood was taken and Dr was very pleased.
Took most of November and December off with just scattered workouts. Managed to maintain through the holidays and vacation though. Been on a good run since the last week of December, maintaining better calorie control, workout 3-4 times a week. Currently back at about 80lbs down, just having a hard time breaking 290. I haven't been below 290 since college. BMI is down to 33, so getting there but just having a hard time pushing through. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk
Have you taken measurement? Those may be a better indicator of progress than weight. I weigh every morning and have been staying about the same for over a year. Up and down 5# other than a permanent 5# drop. Yet I've dropped sizes and inches. Last year I had dropped to a size 12 at the beginning of the year. 31" waist I'm now a baggy size 12 and a 30" waist. I won't even get into top side in Loss. Other than to say I LOVE IT!!! No more back pain. Let's just say other than inches I've been going backwards on the alphabetical scale....lol
Just thinking about a kid I taught 20 years ago. He was 14 years old in 8th grade. He was uncoordinated and had behavioral problems but I started seeing he could really jump, particularly long jumping. I tested him in the standing long jump and he jumped the avg nfl defensive back standing long jumping in the nfl combine....in 8th grade. Started taking him to martial arts classes and tried to save/inspire this kid but he wouldn't budge. Continued committing crimes and lost touch with him. I bet he could have been a 25 foot plus hs long jumper.
Workouts have been sporadic for the last month. But, yesterday's was a good one. 40 minute AMRAP-completed 5 rounds, should have been at least six rounds, but I only got 6.5 hours of sleep the night before and I was dragging. 5 Pull ups 5 Push ups Row 500m 250 yard sled drag with 90lbs
So I made keto lasagna today pic below. No flour of any kind very high protein low carb. The noodles took 15 mins to make You need for a double batch: A good blender 2 silicon cookie sheet liners I like the ones with an edge but a plain mat works 6 large room temp. eggs 1 block 8 oz. Room temp cream cheese 6 TBSP ground pork rinds 2-3 TBSP PARM. CHEESE GRATED you blend all this together very well then pour equally between mats . Remember to have the mats on a cookie sheet pan. Then smooth to a square until evenly very thin. Just before see through stage. Bake 350 ° for 8 mins or until edges barely brown. It will bubble but flattens on oven removal. Now cool and cut noodle size you need for pan your using. This can be loosely rolled and cut into what ever kind of noodles you want.. holds up to baking and soups. You can also spice it the way you want from Italian to hot spicy noodles. To lower the cream cheese amount I cut the cheese down by a 3rd and ad a drizzle of avocado oil. Not sure I amount but thinking no more than 1 1/2 to 2 TBSP then add that 3rd TBSP of parm. Hubby is non keto. Loves these. Even bragged them up at work and I had to write up the recipe. Which is from Ketogenic woman on YouTube. She has a few noodle recipes. So there you go if your low carb high protein and like Pasta dishes. Pretty close.
Done right...you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. The texture and cut is the same. Hubby , after having seconds said, Better than the "normal" noodles. Honest to Peet good and filling.
I’m obsessed with ground Turkey tacos on low carb/low cal wraps or tortillas. Char the tortillas, ground Turkey with homemade taco seasoning, spinach, cilantro, lime juice, and hot sauce. No cheese or sour cream… and they are incredible. Also been on a low fat cottage cheese kick. The GF actually made an Alfredo sauce out of it the other day?? Tasted amazing on some high protein pasta. Eating healthy doesn’t suck if you use seasoning/low fat sauces. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love a good taco/burrito. If you want some variety, sear a roast (chuck, venison, or other wild game with optional dry rub or tajin) in a crockpot with a couple cans of green Chile (tomatillo and peppers) and let it simmer on low to it shreds... My hispanic neighbors have also made me a believer in including sliced radish and cotija cheese with other fixings...like your exquisite choices of spinach and cilantro. I also finish with some avocado and tajin.
I've never been much of a distance runner type other than being in decent 3 to 5 mile shape maybe 15 years ago. I'm a goal oriented person and need a goal to lock in to really physically train hard. At 48 it's getting a bit tougher. So I set a goal yesterday. By my daughter's birthday on July 31st I want to be able to run/walk 24miles in 12 hrs. For some of you that may be nothing but im a physically beat up older dude. Haha. If I do that I will be in great shape for bow season and will probably lose 25lbs. If I start noticing my body can't hold up to that volume then I will adjust. But the goal has been set. Bring it. If anyone wants to join the pain train and join me in this goal let me know.
