Burrito/taco filling!
Big batch of tofu scramble/beans/plant protein, which various chopped veggies and greens mixed in. Then I usually make some sort of potatoes/rice throught the week to add some carbs/body and switch up the vibes a bit.
It can taste pretty different throughout the week depending on which hot sauce/salsa I use any particular day.
I’m trying to steam more veggies as well to munch on the side.
3.5 weeks into the lifting program. Probably getting ahead of myself but so far it’s my favorite one I’ve ever done. Feels like something I can do for the long haul.
Meal prepped again, been eating good.
Nice. After work workout is great to build routine.
Maybe its no problem for you, but the biggest thing that messed up my routine is when I forgot/“forgot” to bring gym clothes.
Great info, really boring writing, super unappealing/uninspiring references, especially for people like us lol.
“Kevin is an entrepreneur from Boulder. He’s been biting his nails since he was a baby in diapers. His wife booked him a manicure appointment. He still a huge baby, but he feels so confident about his nails he doesn’t bite them anymore!”
I actually never finished the second half, any good info in there?
January was good, lots to build off of.
Meal prepped Sunday. Going to keep that up, best way for me to eat good throughout the week.
Started week 2 of my new lifting routine today. This one really vibes with my current goals/outlook. I’ve been about start slow, progress slow, for years now, but at some point I’d always get excited and skip weight progressions and that’d inevitably lead to stalling.
This time I will stick to the plan. I will not add 10lbs instead of 5lbs, because I’ll get to an arbitrary weight goal sooner. If I want a harder challenge there’s built in ways to go harder without locking in a new baseline.
Yah let’s do it
Starting a new lift routine after I stopped for awhile after a non lifting related rib injury.
Lessons learned that I’m bringing into it this go around:
While I’ve professed and lived by the mantra of “start slow, build slow”, for any kind of exercise routine, I’ve never really considered the importance of staying slow. As soon as I start feeling the benefits of my slow, but steady and gainful progression, I’ll get excited and jump weights and do whatever else weird stuff. This time I’m just going to stay slow.
In conjunction one of the most challenging moments for me is the time right before/after and then beginning a new routine. The emotional buildup, relief, and then uncertainty that often comes in those moments leaves me vulnerable to getting out of my rhythm. I get so focused on completing my goal, that I don’t really know what I want to do next, so I can go from pure motivation/accomplishment to really aimlessness after.
So anyway to address that I’m committing to a longer routine, this one is set for 48 weeks, and I’m going to avoid setting medium goals like get to X weight, or beat my PR on this lift. I’ve used those in the past to motivate me to lift, but those aren’t my goals, my goal is to continue lifting for 48 weeks.
Rather than to try and write exactly the thoughts and intentions that are swirling around in this ol noggin of mine I’m just going to say I’m looking forward to participating in this community.
Was out of town last weekend so didn’t meal prep. Exercised every sat-monday but didn’t get back til late Monday night so it threw off the lifting routine.
Have two days done though, and will finish it tomorrow and sat. Could be worse!
