Deload week complete - yesterday's workout went about exactly as it should. The weights felt pretty light and I feel ready to hit it this week. It also occurred to me maybe I should post my diet for shits and grins. This is what I eat literally every day. The only alterations are 8-12 ounces chocolate milk post-lifting 3 days per week (with 10 grams creatine), and on Sundays I generally go very low carb (though today was a different story). While I understand the need for variety, I tend to thrive moreso on simply consistency. It seems boring, and to an extent it is. But I can stick with it, and in the long run, that is the key. The great thing is, I get plenty of veggies, and I pretty much get to eat dessert every meal, as the sweetness from the fruit gives me that feeling. I would also note, I don't eat on a schedule - meal frequency is largely overrated. I merely get hungry pretty frequently, so I eat fairly frequently. A person could easily condense this into 3 meals if they so choose (or 1 even).
1st meal
3 eggs
1 cup egg whites
salsa
spinach or broccoli
orange
2nd meal
~8 oz chicken breast (cooked weight - seasoned as hell with Mrs. Dash)
10 asparagus spears
1 apple
3rd meal
~8 oz ground beef or sirloin (cooked weight)
steamed broccoli
1/2 pear
4th meal
~8 oz chicken breast (cooked weight)
1 bag frozen mixed veggies
1 kiwi
5th meal
1 cup fat free cottage cheese
2 cups combined grapes & strawberries
celery & hummus
I'll have to see where I'm at on the scale (went pretty overboard at lunch today), but was down 6 pounds after the first 2 weeks. I'd like to say it's all fat, but it's certainly not. Remember - it's a marathon, not a sprint.
