DAY 14 - Low fat, high protein/Rest

WEIGHT = ???.? LBS (Whoops! Forgot to weigh in today! I'm due for a full update with measurements and pictures tomorrow, anyway.)

WORKOUT

As advertised, this was a second day of much needed rest. I did have to mow the grass (just beat the thunderstorms!) today and noticed my lower back was a little stiff. I mowed slower than my normal pace just so to make sure I kept upright and used my legs instead of my back. No self-propelled laziness around this house! (~:

The end of week 2 promises an update on my stats and new photos. I'm VERY interested to see how it all turns out! I've been eating TONS of food (seemingly) and loading up on the protein. Quite honestly, I feel friggin' huge! The tape (and scale) will tell come tomorrow!

I'm ready to hit the weights again so I'm looking forward to what DAY 15 has to offer!

DIET

It was the 2nd day in a row of low fat, high protein and that's about enough of that until next Saturday and Sunday! I struggled with getting my protein in but I managed. Here's to protein powder!

Breakfast: Protein shake with glutamine and creatine. 6 egg whites with Frontera salsa and 2 oz of chicken. For "dessert" I made a batch of yogurt pancakes to split with the wife. Yum! I topped them off with a cup of blueberries that I mashed into a compote with some Stevia. Nice!

Snack: 1 cup of 1% milk with a scoop of protein powder (surprise!). Today I added some cocoa powder and some Stevia for a chocolate fix.

Lunch: 1 cup of spinach, 1 cup of kale, 6 oz of chicken, balsamic vinegar, and tomato salad. On the side were some homemade potato chips left over from DAY 13. For dessert, 1 cup of watermelon and a 1/2 cup of grapes.

Snack: 1 cup of yogurt and, you guessed it, some protein powder.

Dinner: Stir fry! 3 cans of tuna (yes, THREE cans!!), 1-1/2 cups green beans, 3 cups of broccoli all sauteed in a little bit of coconut oil along with some garlic. For dessert, I had half a sweet potato with some cinnamon and raw honey. You better believe I wanted some butter on that!! Not today, though!

Pre-bed Snack: 1 cup of yogurt with a scoop of protein powder. Thankfully, the tummy smiles at yogurt!

I'm looking forward to including some fat in the diet again come tomorrow!! See you then!
