DAY 20 - Low fat, High Proten/Rest

WEIGHT = 173.0 LBS (Up 3 from yesterday! Was it the chocolate cake? (~: )

WORKOUT

DAY 20 is a scheduled day of rest on the program. Overall the body feels pretty good after doing some tough training through the week. I noticed a little soreness in my shoulders and a little more in my thighs. That's good for my chicken legs!

One more day of rest tomorrow.

DIET

The low-fat days have not been my favorite but I did ok today.

Breakfast: Protein shake right out of bed...then back to bed! Later, I had 6 egg whites with Fronterra salsa. Then I made up a new batch of oatmeal and had a bowl of that with some fresh peaches and cinnamon. I mixed up some milk with protein powder and molasses and put some of that into my oatmeal. Good stuff!

Snack: 1 cup of yogurt with a scoop of protein powder and creatine.

Lunch: Tuna stir fry! I heated up some garlic and coconut oil and then threw in some soy sauce and hot mustard sauce from the Chinese restaurant. In the meantime, I steamed up some broccoli and fresh green beans from the farmer's market then mixed it all together with 2 cans of tuna. Time to open a Chinese restaurant of my own! For dessert, I heated up some sweet potato and had that with honey and cinnamon.

Dinner: I made this one up on the fly and might just have to do it again! I heated up some leftover grilled chicken with some tomato sauce in a pan. I mixed in some home-grown tomatoes and peppers and then poured it all over a couple of torn up pieces of Ezekiel bread. That got topped with 1 oz of shredded mozzarella cheese. Yum! Two desserts tonight! First, I had a fruit salad of yellow watermelon, blueberries, and grapes. To top it off, I made up a mint chocolate protein shake with milk, protein powder, cocoa powder, and a little mint extract. Nice and refreshing!

Pre-bed snack: 1 cup of yogurt with a scoop of protein powder and glutamine. I added some vanilla extract and stevia tonight for some flavor. That was pretty good!
