So Long Normal Dinners . . .

Bring in the smoothie for Week 3!

So here is the new diet plan. There are some obvious changes.

Breakfast  100g carb 100g veg 1egg 150ml yogurt (Same)

Morning tea 80g fruit (-20g)

Lunch  100g carb 150g meat 150g veg (-50g carb)

Afternoon tea 80g fruit (-20g)

Dinner 2egg white 1apple 1banana 150ml milk (Previously 100g each of fruit, veg, & meat)

Night tea 1egg white 150ml milk (same)

So at first I was like, "whoa! That's crazy, here comes the real PCP diet for sure." And then I followed that thought with "sweet I don't have to prepare dinner for work anymore pack 2 eggs a banana and milk will be easy!"

I think I will actually enjoy this very much and will make it a smoothie on nights I don't work. It got very hard spending the hour before I went to work cooking and eating lunch while cooking and packing dinner. So here's to only broiling 1 slab of tuna a day and only assembling one salad!

Oh and I thought I would share what I do for breakfast every day. I make scrambled egg (only one lol) with onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc this I put in a whole wheat pita with conviently always weighs right around 50g then I put my 150ml yogurt (minus a little bit because I add a dash of milk to the eggs) in a bowl and top with 50g of granola. It's really nice and since I have it down to a time saving system I really enjoy making it every morning.

So anyway I'm off to finish my work-out I had a lot of yard work to do earlier and didn't get to do it all in one go. 

Have a nice night!

Just a quick post

Hey guys. Just wanted to say I am really feeling good and can't believe 2 weeks are now over! The mind is really funny, when we are busy time goes really fast in the moment, but in retrospect seems to have been forever. And when we have little to do in the moment time seems to drag but in retrospect went very fast. 

I look back on this week with pride at how much I have already accomplished. I am so grateful to be here and to have all of you sharing in this experience. Amy, Adrian, Emiko, Tim, and Patrick it's so great to have each other to make a fitness based community around here on our blogs. Thanks so much for the encouragement. That also goes for my family and friends who are reading this blog. Thank you.

So anyway my diet changes as of tomorrow. Our last week of "Stuff our face" diets were to get our metabolisms up to light-speed, and used to burning healthy amounts of healthy food. We are now trimming portions of our diets down so that our body can burn it's excess fat (which as Patrick said in his closing PCP post, even skinny people have, but it's in the muscle tissue). He also emphasized that we "eat our snacks" as naturally these will keep our metabolisms burning from dawn till dusk without stopping to "store" fat.

So here is the new diet

Breakfast  100g carb 100g veg 1egg 150ml yogurt (down 50g carb)

Morning snack  100g fruit

Lunch  150g carb 150g veg 150g meat

Afternoon tea 100g fruit

Dinner 100g meat 100g veg 100g fruit (down 50g veg & meat)

Night tea 1egg white 150ml milk (down 50ml milk & 1 banana)

There you have it!

Have a nice night everyone!

New diet. aka more food then ever!

So we got our new diet plans. 

I have to say this, I have never been a breakfast guy, wasn't serious about even eating anything in the mornings till I read Patrick's PCP blog. And even then It was a banana or a cup of yogurt with some granola, maybe some fresh fruit like berries. And in the case of having a morning off I would make eggs and toast around 10am. Not really breakfast. 

So without further ado Here is my Week 2 diet plan. After I blog here I'm off to make that smoothie (If I don't feel like the clean-up I'll just eat them separate. The first time I do make the smoothie I will be sure to share the experience).

Breakfast  150g carb 100g veg 1egg  150ml yogurt

Morning snack 100g fruit

Lunch 150g carb 150g meat 150g veg

Afternoon snack 100g fruit

Dinner  150g meat 150g veg 100g fruit

Night tea 1 banana 1egg white 200ml milk (blended together in a smoothie if you like)

I have to admit I didn't eat everything to the max today. That's more carbs than I'm used to, and much more vegetables so I will have to focus on really following the diet plan to the full. This is going to be the biggest challenge I think. Everyone has been talking a lot about "routine" I say bring it on! If I can get into the habit of eating the food and preparing it and getting up early to do it so be it!

So we all got the most interesting e-mail from Patrick yet. It is about our exercise plans starting tomorrow. More on the tomorrow. But trust me it's cool. Can't wait!

PCP2 team we are really in it now! Lets rock the PCP!

Have a nice night everyone.
