Eating Slower for Smaller Meals

After eating seven meals a day, my stomach has shrunken down so much that I cannot at all eat what I use to. So what I suggest is to eat slower and enjoy the taste of the food when you are out. This way you will fill up on less food like you are suppose to.

Eating Out and Feeling Like Crap

After eating healthy and whole foods, a couple of days of eating out only made me sick to my stomach. We went on vacation which lasted for 7 days. I enjoyed every bit of it but eating out can really take a toll on a person’s stomach which is used to eating whole foods and not fatty greasy food.

The Plateaus Will Subside

I have been at 257 for the last week time frame. I have been noticing that the decimal point is coming down as I weigh myself everyday. I understand the difference in weight from day to day but I have been so consistent in weight that I can see the recession in weight as time goes on.

I am staying true to my diet with the occasion of a treat which is well deserved. I have been keeping my calorie intake to the same day-to-day and still lifting and doing cardio. I have a fat monitor coming to see what my progression is in fat loss. I want to make sure that the fat % goes down and the muscle % goes up. If I am able to maintain that scale then I will keep to what I am doing. If not then I will have to do something with my diet because my workout is mostly maxed out.

I saw an article on calorie cycling and I am very interested in that. My wife found a site that can give you the day-to-day cycle of calories for the weight loss that you want to see. Everything is going well so I am staying on track and keeping it together. After my first 10 pounds I went out to dinner and did not count a thing. I lived to eat that day. The next time I lose 10 pounds, I will do the same thing (7 more pounds).

Trained for Work

I had to travel to San Jose, CA for a training session for work. This would be my second time to California and I was looking forward to the trip for some rest and relaxation. Well the rest did come except the relaxation did not. Here is a quick run-down of what happened to and from San Jose: 1) My first flight was three hours late. 2) My luggage was late by five hours and damaged. 3) United will not reimburse me for the luggage (cheap bastards). 4) The class had a 2 hour delay due to damaged projector. (Projector fell from the ceiling twice.)

The only two things that went right was me booking the flight, through BEyONd THE MAP, and getting sushi at a local restaurant across from my hotel. The sushi bar was awesome. They had some great food that really hit the spot. They also had warm sake which can be sweet but also extremely soothing on a stressful day. The sushi was also great and great in protein. Every bit of it just melted in your mouth and especially the salmon. The protein count in sushi is much higher than you realize. Just think about it. When you eat salmon it is typically cooked which is responsible for burning away some of the protein content within the food. So by eating it fresh and raw, the protein content, omega 3 fatty acids, and everything else about salmon is much higher.

Eating out doesn't mean to blimp out.

I went out to eat the other day at an all-you-can-eat buffet. They had steak there which is one of my favorite meats. So I went up there twice for the steak and everything else. The first time I went up I had a medium size piece. The second time up up, the lady remembered me so she gave me a bigger piece. Needless to say I had my fill of steak that night. After I got done eating, I realized that this is not how I eat at home. So why do I eat like this here? We do not have steak a lot at home so I guess when the chance arises I guess I have to get filled up.

This has made me think about eating out in a different frame of mind. Eating up should the time to have the foods that you typically do not have at home but also maintaining your good habits of eating. For instance, tonight we are going to be going out to eat at a seafood restaurant and I am going to get the typical shrimp but instead of the fries, I am going to get the baked potato with fat free sour cream. Make sure you ask your restaurant if they have this as an option because most do.
