A new month

Still walking along. Mostly protein each day, this weekend was a freebie. Guys night was fun. The main meal was some delishous steak sandwich. it was really just steak on a couple slices of bread. I passed on most of the bread but had to take a bite. The truffle fries were a splurge all 3 pinches of them. Hard to leave as much as I did on the plate but we must. This week mostly hamburger for Breakfast with an egg, hamburger for lunch amd besides some chicken here and there cheese is a nice snack. Feta is pretty good.

current weight 256

A slight change

So I've been trying to make progress, I can say with 100% certainty that protein is not what gives you gas. Some bad breathe maybe but not gas. when I would have a free day on the weekend to enjoy "normal" life I would fart like crazy the next day. This last week I decided only meat is unobtainable for the long term but mostly meat is perfectly acceptable. Lets face it 5 year old me would be like vegetables are gross but 41 year old me enjoys a few. While I stay away from the bread 🍞 as much as possible the Brussel sprouts I likely hated as a youth are fucking delishious. I'm going to try and focus on more calories in vs out still excluding alcohol. I will limit my beer intake during the week because damn I can drink a lot. We only live once as far as we know so I want to enjoy the things I love. Family, Beer, Friends; not every day in that order. 

Work is most days a non stop tunnel of work. Honestly, I could work non stop and never complete the job. You need to set boundaries with certain things and while I'm always committed, walking away for family is a great thing. The wife, my love 💓, has decided today she will resume V shread. Last time she did freaking great, looked great, felt great. It's amazing how quickly we get derailed and dont jump back.

stopping here or I'll go down a rabbit hole.

check in 252lbs.

Who warns you?

No one states in the open what's going to happen here. Lets chat. The first and second day you're going to be hungry as hell, full at some points but still hungry. Gas is going to release from your body, but everything else will seem normal. Drink plenty of water your body is changing. Then day 3, suddenly you go, "well is it a fart?" Double check my friends, it's not. Bowls empty a liquid tar substance. That's only protein remints as your bodies flora adjusts to the low fiber high protein concoction you've been serving it. Glory be to the lords! For the rest of the day you trust nothing! Don't take this wrong, it's not pain but success. Your body hopefully just made the metamorphosis to support us along the remainder of this journey. 

Diet wise, all beef for all meals with just salt is no fun at all. After your 4th burger patty and 3rd steak with salt and a little pepper your eyes and stomach crave excitement. To be fully transparent in this time so far I've had 2 delicious beers and lets say 1 double bourbon each day except the day I had the 2 beers. One of those days was a single per the choice of the bottle being empty and me not wanting to drink the good good stuff.

 

Phone in hand, clothed and post breakfast I'm clocking in at 254.

Energy level on average I go to bed about 2330 and wake around 0530-0600 alarmed and naturally 0700.

I'm finding myself waking about the same but now I'm about ready to wake around 0600.

Also for breakfast I added eggs to the chopped steak we had leftover from last nights dinner. So this week to increase the excitement of both my eyes and belly it will be eggs and steak. Or just eggs and just steak. Man I wish I could have chickens in this neighborhood..

Until the next post,

-Cheers
