Updates

Wow, it has been more than a month since I last blogged. My goal to have 365 days of working out in WOWY bit the dust two weeks into January. I came down with a nasty stomach virus that was going around and it wiped me out.

I'm back to the workouts again and participating in a Clean Eating Challenge. We basically eat from the top two tiers of Michi's ladder. Michi's ladder is just a list of foods of varying degrees of nutritional value. While low fat cheese, etc is in the top two tiers, I just cut it out. The only dairy I have is yogurt and that is low fat. I have also done something I have not really done in the past and that is cut out whole wheat. So no wraps, pitas or bread. I do get one cheat meal a week. It has been a good experience for me. I have dropped some weight and seen myself lean up a little more. More muscle definition is good!

Right now my daily meal plan is Shakeology with almond milk, ice, water, half banana, and tablespoon of natural peanut butter for breakfast, Yogurt with raisins, sliced almonds for snack, chicken or turkey of some kind with veggies and brown rice or quinoa. Afternoon snack is almonds or veggies with hummus or egg white omelet with salsa. Supper has been lean protein with veggies and sometimes brown rice or quinoa. I feel great! I'm really enjoying eating even more cleanly than I have in the past. I really see how I can use this to lean out more!

I'm in my third week of P90X workouts. Kinda halfway following the schedule. I really care least for the weight training workouts. I think it is because I'm faced with more of my weaknesses than strengths.

Loving life!
