9-23-11 Weight 207.2lb, BF 18.6.% at 645amPST
Hey All!
Still not formally started yet, I'm gearing up to go on Monday. Think of it like stretching before a marathon and making sure you have all your gear in order. I'll be doing some shopping today to get some food etc. for the coming week so I'll note the financials below.
The weight and BF numbers are very consistent with the ups and downs I'll see in any given week. My weight can range from 205 to 210 and BF from 17.5% to 18.5% typically so these are not surprising in the least. I'll start paying attention when my weight drops below about 203lb and BF dips below 16.5%
So to baseline my physical activity, I'm pretty active. Right now I'm laid up because I sprained my MCL but I should be back in action in a week or two. Per Tim, I probably over train. I do yoga 1-2 times per week for 1hr, Jiu-Jitsu typically 2 times per week for 90min and plyometrics 2 times a week for between 30 and 60min. For the diet, I think I'll pare it down to just jiu-jitsu and yoga and maybe some of the kettlebell work he recommends.
I purchased a 30-day pAGG stack for $67 from New Health Solutions, this is where I start feeling like a sucker so I probably wont plug much more money into this thing other than groceries as I'm into it about $140 now.
1230pm
I just went to the grocery store and bought loads of cans of beans and frozen veggies for the week ahead. I spent about $35 and that should get me through the week. I already have frozen chicken, beef and salmon so we're good on meat.
I'm a little concerned about the beans as some of them seem to have sugar in the syrups they are canned in. Sugar, is of course, stuff of villains and demons so I plan to wash the beans before serving. I bought about 7 small to medium bags of frozen veggies and about 16 cans of various types of beans including, black, kidney, re-fried (no sugar), pinto, etc. I'm sure the nanny will feed the twins some of this food so I might have to restock earlier than most folks but I think this is a good start.
So far I like the ideas of meals, I think that some grilled steak or chicken with a side of vegetables and beans is a pretty solid meal that is 'close to the farm' without a load of processed food. I'm thinking eggs with salsa and re-fried beans for breakfast is pretty do-able as well.
650pm
Test drove dinner tonight, grilled chicken with Costco steak rub, carrots and re-fried beans. I have a photo I'll post, not fancy but very quick, took about 15min to grill defrosted chicken, break open the beans and heat and steam the carrots. Doable with twins!
