LONG TIME, NO POST
At this point, not sure how many readers I will get. Been ages since my last post, but in my vacation time, I have come to realize somethings;
1. Beer = A lot of Calories
2. The more I post, the more I own up to the calories I take in, the better I do.
3. When on CR, I feel the best I have ever felt in my life. Period.
If you are reading this; Thanks. It's keeping me honest.
Here's today's info;
Breakfast:
2 Packs (4 crackers each) cheese on cheese crackers
Diet Coke
Mid morning Banana snack
Lunch:
Ham and Provolone on Oatmeal Bread with lettuce, mustard and pepper
Gala Apple
2 oz. Pretzels
Afternoon Snack: (could have done without!)
Snickers
Dinner:
Salsa Chicken
(basically chicken sauteed with peppers, garlic, fresh salsa, black beans and frozen corn)
1 tbls Sour Cream
1 Flour Tortilla
48 oz. Beer (holy shit!!! calories and carbs!!!)
And for the results;
2231 Calories
86 g Protein (my goal is around 120g)
A WHOPPING 274 g carbs
45 g lipids
63% daily vitamins
88% daily minerals
Okay, so obviously, these numbers sucks and there is much room for improvement. I think the mistake I have been trying to make lately is jumping in full force into CR again. What I think really needs to happen is some strategy's. I need to track for a week again, analyze my patterns, and see what small changes can be made, one at a time to bring about some good change.
I think the first most obvious answer is beer. When I was serious CR before, I either didn't drink at all or when I did drink, I stuck to vodka and soda water. Very low calories with a hell of punch.
Second thing to work on; protein. When I was able to properly balance the right proteins and fats before, I was my most successful. This is a huge key for me. Less fruit and chocolate and more egg whites and almonds.
Now, I must admit. CR and extended life seems very lovely, but I have other motivations. My motivations are a trimmer waste line and feeling great on a daily basis. Not feeling sluggish. Feeling full of life and energy. Forget living until I am 120. Who can plan that far? I can barely keep up with my weekly schedule. Let's get real and be honest about my goals, then we will see about sticking to them.
Thanks for all who read!
