Slept through breakfast

Got to bed way late, then slept till 10am.

• leftover chicken and broccoli stir fry from the other night
• Balance Bare bar
• apple
• Trader Joe's trail mix
• awesome soup that Jane made...lots of beans, chicken, and tomato base and some other stuff
• salad
• corn bread muffins
• two pineapple mixed drinks

201.6 pounds, 19.6% body fat. No workout today.

One of those days

Long day.

• Amy's breakfast burrito
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• home cooked tuna steak, seared
• brown rice
• two large barbeque sandwiches
• banana
• apple
• Trader Joe's trail mix

201.4 pounds, 19.6% body fat. Today's workout was an hour with the trainer doing a bunch more full body stuff. Lack of sleep made it, err, interesting.

Back on track

Yeah, I'm back on track. The race track! Hah. But that explains why lunch was a burger. No better choices there.

• Bojangles sausage and egg biscuit
• Mountain Dew (had to have caffeine thanks to lack of sleep)
• double cheeseburger with ketchup
• Honey and Oats granola bar
• stir fried chicken, white rice and light gravy, oven roasted zucchini
• Trader Joe's trail mix

200.6 pounds, 19.6% body fat. No serious exercise today, unless you count around two hours of driving a race car and sweating profusely. Hmm, yeah, that counts. You try it.

Yesterday

Oops. Got in a hurry to get stuff packed for the racetrack today and forgot to blog my food.

• three scrambled eggs
• two pieces of turkey bacon
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• Carrburrito chicken burrito with black beans and flour chips and chipotle salsa
• sauteed chicken, broccoli, and potatoes
• Trader Joe's trail mix
  

200.3 pounds, 21.1% body fat. Workout was an hour with the trainer. Pretty much full body stuff.

Back in the groove

Not bad.

• Amy's Breakfast Burrito (all organic, yada yada)
  
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• Grilled Chicken sandwich, lemon-garlic aioli, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, on ciabatta
• grilled chicken salad from the Blue Ribbon Diner in Mebane (fairly typical salad)
• Trader Joe's trail mix
  

Weight is 202.4 with 19.1% body fat. Yeah, didn't hurt myself bad on vacation! Did an hour of basketball as my workout today.

Flying day.

Last one of these or a while, thankfully.

• scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage
• big hunk of pineapple
• peach
• large salad with smoked salmon on top. cucumber, radish, cabbage, lettuce, balsamic vinaigrette, and probably a few other things
• lots of Trader Joe's trail mix

Never really had supper, but two big meals is probably enough when the rest of the day is just sitting. No workout, no weight today. Back on both those tomorrow.

Another casino day

But I ate better than yesterday, at least.

• apple fritter (okay, not much better)
• orange juice
• side salad with romaine, boiled egg, cheese, some kind of vinaigrette (this casino could have the least interesting salad bar at the buffet you've ever seen)
  
• big hunk of pineapple
  
• prime rib, small mashed potatoes, fried rice
• Trader Joe's trail mix
• Southwest turkey wrap (turkey, cheese, avocado, chipotle sauce, romaine, tomato)
• potato salad (very small amount, though)

No weight again, but I did do an hour on the exercise bike, a few upper body exercises, and a big ab circuit. And the food here is so mediocre that I'm looking forward to going to the airport for lunch tomorrow. Yeah. It's like that.

Ugh.

Spent the entire day at the casino, so quality food wasn't much of an option.

• apple fritter
• orange juice
• 16oz Mt. Dew
  
• turkey club sandwich on wheat
• potato salad
• pizza (lots of it, just meat)
• root beer

No weight or body fat, but I did do exercise bike for an hour and a half and then a core exercise circuit, so I worked out for almost two full hours. Also did some karting tonight, which isn't exactly easy on the body.

Convention day.

Convention days are not good.

• scrambled eggs
• bacon
• sausage
• small muffin
• small side salad
• pot roast
• green beans
• some sort of potato casserole (it was a luncheon with no food choices)
• two double-doubles, one regular fry order, and one root beer from In-n-Out Burger

No workout, no weight today. Will work out tomorrow, though.

Flying day.

So I did better on this flying day than normal, anyway.

• three scrambled eggs
• leftover cube steak from the other night
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• Amy's organic burrito (had rice and beans and I don't remember what else)
• Trader Joe's trail mix
• bbq pork, baked beans, potato salad (at Tootsie's in the Nashville airport)
• pack of Lorna Doone shortbread cookies

I was 202.2 and 19.8% body fat today. No weights coming for a few days, though, since I'm away from the scale. I did play basketball for an hour today. Three on three on a 94' full court is brutal.

Quicky update

• stir fry from yesterday (turkey bacon, cannellini beans, tomato, spinach)
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• huge salad with turkey sausage, mixed greens, spinach, celery, edamame beans, broccoli, sugar snap peas, cheese, balsamic vinaigrette, sprouts, shredded carrots
• some Trader Joe's trail mix
• spaghetti pizza from last night
  

202.2, 19.6%, knees were a little raw today so we just did an upper body and core workout (me and my trainer, as usual).

Variety!

Good food today! Not as great a vegetable mix, but not bad. Lots of carbs in the supper, which isn't great.

• three scrambled eggs
• chicken sausage
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• stir fry of turkey bacon, spinach, cannellini beans, and tomatoes
• spaghetti-pizza! homemade dish that's noodles, tomato sauce, cheese, chicken pepperoni, and ground beef
• roasted zucchini and onions (salt, pepper, garlic, olive oil)
• some Trader Joe's trail mix
  

202.8 pounds, 20.1% body fat. Workout was an hour of pick-up basketball.

Much sausage!

I like this day.  No salad and yet I had good vegetables.  The burrito was a frozen one from Whole Foods that's all healthy stuff.  Tasted pretty good, too.

• three scrambled eggs
• four chicken sausage links
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• boc choi, asparagus, baby broccoli...steamed
• turkey sausage
• organic bean burrito
• homemade fruit salad from the other day
• more Trader Joe's trail mix

Weighed 202.0 with 20.6% body fat this morning.  Workout was a cardio/strength circuit with my trainer that was pretty tough.  Also got a deep tissue massage, then got a good sweat going coaching the kids (trying to teach defense...ugh).

Soda!

Well, today wasn't so hot.  I really wanted a treat, though, and made the Mt. Dew be the treat.  Okay, a couple burgers for lunch isn't so great, but it isn't horrible.  My fried intake is still WAY down, as is sugar.

• five chicken sausage links
• three scrambled eggs
• 1/2 pound and 1/4 pound Char-Grill hamburger steak sandwiches with cheese, mayo, ketchup
• three french fries
• big Mt. Dew
• couple handfuls of Trader Joe's trail mix
• homemade pot roast
• au gratin baked potato
• salad with mixed greens, spinach, carrots, sprouts, edamame beans, sugar snap peas, baby broccoli, celery, balsamic vinaigrette

201.4, 19.6% but that was after breakfast.  Didn't shower until then.  No workout today...but I did six straight days with one, so I'm due a day off.

Lots of food today!

Diversity.  But I'm eating real food for breakfast now at my trainer's urging.  Sure, I should be avoiding the biscuits, but supposedly everything else is fine.  Tomorrow I'm gonna have some turkey sausage!

• three scrambled eggs
• two sausage patties
• one and a half country ham biscuits (they were small!)
• two small cups of orange juice
• bowl of homemade fruit salad (pineapple, oranges, apples, grapes, raisins, small marshmallows, miracle whip)
• leftover cube steak from the other night
• handful of Trader Joe's trail mix
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• one Dewey's cake square (thanks Steve!).  It's really just a small piece of white sheet cake with icing on top.  Probably 2" square and an 1.5" tall.
• probably the most diverse salad I've ever had...sugar snap peas, edamame beans, mixed greens, spinach, hard boiled egg, two kinds of sprouts, pecans, baby broccoli, celery, balsamic vinaigrette, shredded carrots

202.6 and 19.1% body fat, but that was late in the day after a hour and a half mountain bike ride, not my normal post-shower morning weight.  Forgot that today.

Fish!

Got some fish today.  Yummy.  Cooked it myself, too.

• three scrambled eggs
• four strips of turkey bacon
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• big tuna steak, seared
• small side salad...mixed greens, spinach, sprouts, celery, baby broccoli, balsamic vinaigrette
• handful of some Trader Joe's trail mix
• bbq chicken breast (homemade)
• parmesan rice (leftover from the other night)

Weighed in this morning at 200.0 with 20.8% body fat.  Today's workout was a tough cardio/strength circuit with my trainer.

Long day.

Dentist visit this morning, so I treated myself to a biscuit after.

• sausage and egg biscuit from The Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• big salad, this time with variety!  mixed greens, spinach, two different kinds of sprouts, baby broccoli, one hard boiled egg, some steak, a small grilled chicken breast, balsamic vinaigrette
• small serving of cube steak and white rice

Weighed 201.2 with 20.8% body fat this morning.  Workout today was an hour of pick-up basketball.  Played terrible!

Odd one.

Today was weird.

• Balance Bare bar
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• Chick-fil-A chicken salad sandwich and large fruit cup
• three nuggets Kevin didn't want from above
• homemade chicken and cheese quesadilla
• handful of Sun Chips
• banana
• a steak from the other night
• small glass of orange juice
• bowl of grapes
• pb&j sandwich

Weighed 199.4 with 21.2% body fat.  I must not have drank enough water yesterday, because there's no other way I lost two pounds in a day.  And then with all THIS food I've had, no way I'm light tomorrow.  Don't know why, but I've just been starving all day today.

Good day.

Yeah, the chicken was fried on the salad.  Was all I had to work with.

• Balance Bare bar
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• big salad with some of the fried nuggets from last night, two hard boiled eggs, carrots, mixed greens, cheese, honey-dijon vinaigrette
• bbq grilled chicken
• oven roasted potatoes
• apple

Weighed in this morning at 202.4 and 21.6% body fat using my new Tanita BC554 scale and body composition monitor.  Workout today was an hour of basketball.  Pretty exhausted.

It was Ashley's fault!

Fried today.  Supposed to be canola oil and stuff, but still.

• Balance Bare bar
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• Jersey Mike's #9 regular on wheat (6" roast beef, turkey, swiss, lettuce, tomato, mayo)
• apple
• homemade chicken tenders
• green beans
• corn on the cob
• bowl of grapes

Gotta eat what the wife fixes!

Well, I did do better...

But still not great.

• bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios in whole milk
• pork BBQ sandwich on wheat bread (homemade BBQ)
• big handful of Sun Chips
• big steak
• rice-a-roni (some new Parmesan flavor)
• big salad with honey-dijon vinaigrette, shredded carrots, mixed greens, diced celery, cheese
• apple

Workouts resume tomorrow. I've still got head congestion and cough, but it's not as bad and the wheezing seems to be gone. Ugh.

Where's the veggies?!?

Oops.

• bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios and whole milk
• grilled turkey panini with cheese, tomato, chipotle sauce
• handful of potato chips
• two 1/2 pound hamburger steak sandwiches from Char-Grill
• bowl of grapes

Oh well. I'll do better tomorrow.

Oh the meat!

Big bang for an ending to today.

• bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios in whole milk
• three crispy tacos and chips and cheese from Armadillo Grill
• steak, pork, steak, more steak, some chicken, steak, and I did start off with a big healthy salad (I swear, there are witnesses!) from Leblon Steakhouse in Greensboro.
  

The steakhouse was amazing. They just keep coming and slicing off various types of meat for you, including filet mignon, their house sirloin, various different types of pork, chicken, and turkey, and you can even get lamb, beef ribs, or pork ribs. I'm probably forgetting one or two. And it's buffet-like in that you can keep going as long as you want, but it's much friendlier than that...they come to you with the meat. Amazing food, great service. Troy recommended this one, and he hit it out of the park. Probably not the healthiest I've ever eaten, but dang it was good.

Oh the humanity!!!

Took a dive today.

• Balance Bare bar
• one slice of "Rio Rancho" pizza (huge slice and it's got ranch instead of tomato sauce, but does have tomato chunks and some sort of unidentifiable meat) and three pepperoni rolls (picture pizza dough rolled around cheeze and pepperoni and you dip in marinara sauce...they're about the size and shape of a croissant)
• Coke
• mixed greens salad with grilled chicken and vegetables left over from the other night, shredded carrots, cheese, dash of bacon bits, and honey-dijon vinaigrette

Not much breakfast, lunch was horrible, supper was good. All in all, still a poor day for health. Especially since I'm sick and can't work out for a couple days. Ugh.

Average.

Nothing unusual here.

• Balance Bare bar
• Muscle Provider shake
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• sausage calzone and side salad from Pepper's Pizza
• Asian Chicken salad from Red Robin (yes, Jonas, it's grilled chicken!)
• banana

Oops, I typed this yesterday and then never posted it.

Back in the saddle again...

Normal day again.

• Balance Bare bar
• Muscle Milk shake
• Carrburrito chicken burrito with black beans and flour chips and chipotle
• homemade beef stew
• banana
  
• big pack of peanut M&Ms

I gotta get some salad soon.

Flying again.

Could have been worse, I guess.

• Balance Bare bar
• Sausage, egg, and cheese croissanwich from Burger King (yay, airports!)
• grilled chicken, small steak, mashed potatoes, and vegetable stir fry (broccoli, zuchini, peppers) from TGI Fridays (yay long enough layovers for sit down lunches!)
• small pack of peanuts
• grilled chicken and vegetable stir fry (broccoli, zuchini, peppers...sound familiar?)
• apple

Was dying for a Mountain Dew (Northwest serves Pepsi products) but didn't do it. Also wanted the small can of pringles, but avoided that, too.

Superbowl!

Another big day.

• 2 scrambled eggs
• sausage
• 2 pieces of wheat toast with strawberry jam
• Nature Valley granola bar
• 20oz Coke
• 12" turkey sub on wheat with lettuce, tomato, mayo (from Subway, ugh)
• handful of potato chips
• Clif bar
• steak
• baked red potatoes
• zuchini and pepper stir fry
• Hurricane (and it was large!)
• pecan pie with one scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream

Oh yeah, I ate all that. Had to have the Coke today...was running on fumes this morning after snowmobiling so late last night and having to get up early again. Man, this cold takes it out of you. It was in the teens with 30+MPH wind gusts this morning and big snow. Flying tomorrow. Oh no.

Forgot again.

Probably because it is so bad.

• two scrambled eggs
• three strips bacon
• two pieces of wheat toast with strawberry jam
• orange juice
  
• three Nature Valley granola bars
• banana
  
• Quaker granola bar
• side salad with iceberg, tomato, thousand island (best I could do)
• club sandwich (turkey, ham, lettuce, tomato, cheese)
• four french fries
• homemade ravioli
• slice of pizza
• two maitais

I was a bit trapped for lunch and snack choices. Burned a lot of calories today, hence the need for all the granola bar snacks and the seemingly large amount of food otherwise.
