Sunday Day 11

pre-breakfast: 1.4 grams creatine, 2 grams fish oil. mens multi and vit d.
12pm breakfast: 1 waffle with strawberries and blueberries.

8pm: 1/2 cup of 2% greek yogurt. 1/4 cup granola, 1 teaspoon of honey.

My diet suffers on date nights and the breakfast together in the morning. I will have to lead us to places that serve what she likes AND simple omelets…a Belgian waffle house is a crappy choice due to my goals.

I already feel stronger and in better shape even thought it is only day 11. I think I have heart my aesthetic goals with some diet glitches but I think I am on the right path. I will have to be better about planning weekend meals and pacing out any wine and beers with seltzer water. It is hard to not have a glass in my hand while out drinking with friends. I think seltzer would be the perfect, and much cheaper solution to that.
I still want to work out more and do more capoeira. Capoeira class was canceled Friday-Sunday for an event they had in North Carolina. I am happy with my effort but I want to see more personal gains this week. My energy levels have been a problem on the weekends and after work. Not sure what that is about but I need to find a decent remedy. I will try and get more quality sleep starting now. I realize no one is reading this but it has helped me focus and I plan to continue. I will take measurements this week so that I will have other metrics to judge my progress.

Day 52:

I fell off the face of the earth. Sorry about that. I actually think this entire thread has not been read…but I figure I should check in for myself. It is almost 2 months in. I am getting stronger in capoeira. I am not stronger in the gym yet…mainly because I have only been doing capoeira. I am not training as much as I should but I am getting better…just not fast enough. I dont have much time left in Philadelphia and I need to put forth more effort in my training before my move. The capoeira is good here and I am squandering it. I will give physical updates and pics in 1 more month. I will go for every three months. I will stop giving my daily diet on here and I will list workout progress every week, that way I do not burn out on reporting daily…it was becoming a pain.
