Day 13 - getting innovative

Through desperation comes innovation!  Was getting really bored with the foods I was cooking up, partly due to the fact I was away from home and didn't have a huge selection of food for just 3 days. Ginger, chilli, garlic, black pepper and fresh herbs specifically basil and coriander and dried mix herbs...also a variety of curry powders (pre mixed usually do have a lot of salt so best to mix your own)is what I am playing with now, and it makes a great difference.

My challenge now is to do something with the carbs, anyone got any good ideas? Wholemeal Pasta, grain bread and genmai rice is good..but after 3 meals a day and many days to go I think I need to do something interesting there.

Nearly finished the second week. Feeling good and getting used to the time and effort needed to prep food.  Not missing "drinking" at all, but I've been out of my usual hangouts since last friday, skipping the weekends.

Workout wise I'm pushing through all the sets at full count, and trying to ride out the reps on the last set as much as I can.  Now surfing the web to get some more tension bands, think my gear isn't really living up to expectations (plus one snapped the other day so needed to do some re-engineering to get it up and running)

Weighed in tonight, and heading slowly and surely in the right direction. Haven't broken the 90kg mark yet, but I think within a week I will.  Targeting 85 as my ideal weight.  I'm sure I have lost a few cm's off my waist but ill keep that for my week 2 photo's ill do on Friday.

  1. nice work man.. feeling pretty similar to you right now.. i comfortably fitted into a suit today i've struggled with over the past few months.. definitely going in the right direction but still plenty of room to get better..

    Bombers were excellent on Monday also.. Hirdy's building quite a team there!

  2. For the carbs, I might suggest mixing it up throughout the day. I'd have oats or 7-grain cereal for breakfast, then rice or cold oats for lunch (depending on what my fridge stock looked like), and maybe bread with dinner.
