Restarting

Got some much needed rest last night finally and thankfully. Got the micro beast down so imma try to get another good round in. Workout won't be posted till late tomorrow. Hoping I even make it there. Got a va appoint and it usually takes all day. But regardless of gym time my Px black and Alc/cla stack is getting started tomorrow so I'll at least get some thoughts up in regards to that.
 
F$&k!!! My MRI was today. Machine broke when they started it as I was all prepped and in the tube. Typical bs for me. Gym soon. Workout post to follow. Urg!!!!!
 
Made it to the gym thankfully for some much needed stress relief. I got a few things to get done and dinner to make. Afterwards I'll get my routine posted
 
Bout to finally eat dinner would say I'm starving cuz I barely ate today but I'm not. Thanks in most part id say to the start of the Px black/ alc Finaflex stack I started today. Which couldn't have started on a better day. Spent the majority of my day driving and at the docs. Refuse to eat drive through. All I've had to eat today is two shakes and two quest bars. Far from the norm but fighting the hunger monster with ease. In addition to the app suppression doing wonders I haven't been able to blink today without breaking a sweat. So for day one of the stack both angles are an on base hit for a double. More posts in regards to this to follow throughout the week. As soon as I grub I'll get the workout up from this afternoon

This is gonna be my shoulder workout for a while as long as it's got the thumbs up from the masses as far as effectiveness/overtraing goes.
 
Mmm. Quest bars. Which flavor(s)?

My gym doesn't have doubles on the kettle balls either.

I'll have to try nuking too!

I've tried choc chunk, 2 types of PB, and a cookie dough. Just tried them a couple weeks ago.
 
Just finished my day with some lax ball work and some foam rolling. Anyone not incorporating this daily needs to. It changed my life lol. I have serious back pain issues accompanied by mobility drawbacks. This has made leaps and bounds for me in regards to improvement.

Update on the Px black- alc/cla stack. Appetite suppression is kicking butt. I'm taking the recommended dose. Which to be honest might be working a lil too good. Imma give it 2-3more days to access tolerance but it had me feeling completely stuffed at about 1/2 my breakfast. Which I will just spread out bite by bite over the day to get my macros is but it went down like this.

Breakfast:
2 hb eggs
1 grapefruit
1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese with 1/4 cup TVP

Normally I slam it all and want more in about 90 mins. Today I got 2eggs , half the grapefruit , and about 1/2 the cottage cheese down and am full. I could force it down but don't see the point if I can use it to snack on if the hunger does try and sneak up on me later.

If it's still working like this over the next few days I'll drop the dose to 1-1 twice a day instead of 2-1 twice a day and see if it's still holding strong.
 
WO looks good to me. Your body knows best...

I'm taking an appetite suppressant right now too. I'm rarely hungry, but I'd rather force food that I need down than to be starving and have to deal with either over-eating or craving the wrong foods. Usually after a 1 bottle run I'm trained to eat better, so, win-win.

But the running tally is overtraing. So imma ease it back to a recommended pace from the brain trust on here that clearly has more knowledge than I. I really wanna maximize what I'm doing. I'm pretty aware of the gains and improvements I make doing it my way. So imma take the advice given here and run with it. If I feel like I'm under utilizing anything I'll step it back up. But right now I'm trying out the less equals more suggestions. Cuz I ain't experienced enough to honestly say this way won't work for me. And so far pretty much all advice I've been given has been a success for me.

Mmmm. Lunchtime.

4 oz chicken salad. Home made with home made habinero mustard

2 slices Ezekiel bread.

Slice of onion

1/2 oz baked Brussel sprouts
 
Those brussel sprouts look good.

So, habinero mustard... Are you just chopping habinero and mixing it with mustard? Or do you have an awesome recipe you're about to share?

Oh yea! How do you make that chicken salad?
 
Whole jar mustard. One jalapeño. 3-4 habinero peppers. 1tbs onion powder. 1 tbsp garlic powder. 1/2 tsp chipotle powder. Blender.... Boom. Sometime I throw some cholula hot sauce in there. Then add a couple pickles and some chicken. Then chow down.
 
I also make some bad ass guacamole like that. Only difference really is 2-3 avocados instead of mustard and half a banana just to be unique. But u can church it up or tone it down depending on the heat u like. Everybody I know that eats both says it could use salt but I don't salt anything. Can't stand the way it tastes.

I got tons of bad a$$ recipes. Emeril ain't got nothin on me and the sprouts r super easy. Split them and toss in a bowl. 1/2 tbsp avocado oil and season to ur liking. Bake at 400 for 25-30 mins depending on size of them. And if u really want awesome ones and it fits ur macros. Slice and trim to fit strips of turkey bacon and lay a tiny strip or two over top of each sprout before u bake.

The sodium I get comes if it's already in the spice bottle I'm using or in the hot sauce I toss on everything. But as far as me just adding it I don't. Yuck. lol. It does go into my protein pancakes though. Helps the batter stick together and I can't taste it.

Definitely trying this mustard in the next couple days. I'm a spice-aholic. Might do the avocado one this weekend, too.

I love hot sauce, so get a lot in that. I used to bypass salt altogether until Snags recommended it.
