#009 – Easy Recipes

by //

2 ingredient pancakes, banana & egg.

With the new workout routine I’ve been leaning away from a plant based diet to keep up with protein. Still sticking to whole foods, so there’s been a lot of chicken breast & seafood in my meals lately. These have become my go-to recipes for quick & easy meals.

This episode I go through my menu for the past 2 weeks. Breaking down the recipe & cooking methods as well.

#008 – Reconnecting Macros

by //

Don’t be romantic with what has worked, optimize to grow.

An eventful week. Tweaked my calories & macros. Progressed further bodyweight training. Reconnected with like minded buddies.  I never restructured my diet since I hit my goal weight. After hitting the goal I continued on regularly without strictly tracking macros & calories. It was maintainable. After starting exercise for over 6 months now the old weight cut diet plan isn’t viable anymore.

This episode I go through the new food plan, and reconnecting with buddies who have  become a support group in a short amount of time.

#007 – Start Bodyweight

by //

After 6 months fitness habit is formed, but progression has stalled.

It took me a full 6 months without dropping a single day to get my mind & body into the habit of working out. I went from 30sec workouts to 45-60min every single day. Habit is created, but I feel progression has stalled. My 1st solution to break the ceiling, starting a basic bodyweight routine.

This episode I go through the process of cracking the glass wall of progression. This is my first true experience that health & fitness is a ever changing game. There is no one size fits all.
