starting this to track food. it will be easier than putting in my regular training log.
will update in the next few days
my typical year for the last few years is kinda like this. im an accountant with a busy tax office
december thru april i work 7 days a week many days are 18 hour days. its coffee all day,nicotine and, lots of food- (being tired makes you hungry)
then when i get home im wound up so i drink alcohol. beer, wine, vodka… many times a whole 6 pack in 30 minutes with a few cigarettes.
just so i can fall asleep and start it all over again the next day.
obviously this gets me out of shape. then after the season, i cut down on all of the above and start training.
i usually drop a belt notch with 2-4 days and start getting into shape. and then train hard thru til november.
every year i noticed that this cycle has been a win for the fat side. i guess my age is starting to catch up to me. this year it took 4-5 weeks to drop a notch that was already bigger than the year before. hmm. very frustrating when you cant even put on pants that you fir a year ago.
this past year with the flood from the hurricane wiping me out made it even worse. from 10/29/2012 thru 4/30 2013 it was nonstop work, eat, drink, and little sleep.
i will say, that z12 is really cool so im looking forward to using that next year as opposed to booze, and ive read some articles about traing 20 minutes a week. so i’ll keep all that in mind when next season rolls around.
in the meantime, i have a huge task at hand. and ive learned to be patient, and just keep plugging away. so i stopped the booze completely on mothers day this year. since then i have had 2 margheritas, 2 bloddy marys, and 2 beers, while eating out.
cs was correct about taking some time to get all the crap out of the system.
i p[osted this stuff in MAG-10 to replace beer.
i started out with my typical food intake as follows:
since i train first in the am. it looks like this
brain candy, few miutes later indigo
1/2 Plazma in the car
15-30 min later im training with 2 Plazma im going 60-90 minutes now including my stretch and warmups
at office about 20-30 min later is 1 MAG-10 pulse(2 scoops)
30 -60 later is another MAG-10
30-60 later is another MAG-10
30-120 later is food 4 eggwhites with rice and turkey, or chick w mashed adn veggies etc.
(the timing on the above depends on how distracted at work i get)
if im busy working late and am hungry i’;ll have 1-2 FINiBARs during the next few hours (sometimes i dont have any)
then i get home and have a mag10(this is great… it takes away that hunger coming on)
then some food-- in the beginning it was steak, rice, salad-- or anything like that
then over the next few hours before bed i have 2-4 Mag-10 pulses(this replaced the booze)
now, i actually find myself eating less at night most of the times. and the carbs at night are less or none(just depending on how i feel)
at night sometimes i even make some flavored water with the Biotest flavors

1 z12
note: i had stinky sweat today… not enough carbs and the hot dogs and sausage are not really the best stuff
i have noticed that as far as meat is concerned. beef is the absolute best. i get great workouts the days after i eat a good steak.
but only for some days. then i have to switch up.
shell steak is king- price and fat content is just fine along with easy to grill and tastes great.
ribeye has higher fat and is pricier
filet is very good but pricey
other good cuts, brisket, flank, corned beef
pork is the worst. i will limit that. it’s ok maybe 1 day here and there, but otherwise it just doesnt do it for me
chick breast—bland, bland, bland
whole chicken – yumm
fish… good stuff to a limit
lobster–with steak-- heaven
shrimp-- good for occasional snacks
lamb-- dunno yet… dont really eat much of it. love it fresh off the grill, but , how much im not sure
made it on grill… delicious. seems a little fatty. funny it’s a 5lb roast, and ill be the only one eating it.
