  6. Day 9, High Carb Day 1:3

    Fruit:
    Grapes

    Protein
    .5c chicken
    .5c beef
    2.5 scoop whey

    Carb:
    1c rice pasta
    1/3c kidney beans
    2p ez bread

    fat:
    1oz mixed nuts
    1/2 avacado
    1tbs oil
    5g in protein shake
    1g in almond milk

    I have 2 questions:

    1. The rice pasta I am eating is pretty white and the texture is smooth like regular pasta. We have rice pasta on our list but I am wondering if there is a brown rice version out there that I am supposed to be eating instead - or is what I am eating ok?

    2. What is the date of the final seminar? I have it as Sunday July 10, but 7/10 is a Saturday.

    Thanks!

  15. HEY J.K. ONE!

    Im in NYC, and so is my girlfriend who is also doing the challenge. Im a manager/trainer at Equinox-Columbus Circle. You sound like you are close if you are walking in central park. We should all meet up for some hill sprints at Cat Hill in the park!!-sometimes I do it on Saturday. Also (and this is without knowing what is wrong with your elbow) You should still try to get a training effect with things that don't involve your elbow -Lower body, or exercises that have your elbow in extension to give one example (if it is pain free, of course). Tom, chime in if you don't agree! Email me if you want to get in touch. neal.snyder AT gmail DOT com.

  26. Elizabeth - the final seminar is a Saturday... July 10th
    Rice pasta is ok in moderation... it is gluten free, but it isn't the best carb in the world. Spelt and kamut based pastas are a better choice... do not over cook them.

  27. Rachel - Happy B-day!!! Sacrifice is part of the fun here... it makes you a better person in the long run and gives you a TRUE sense of accomplishment.

  28. Well, wasn't a great day, but not a total loss either. Started out going to be a high carb day and ended up being a lame mix. Wife is sick, 3 cracked ribs from coughing really hard, and still some allergy or sinus infection thing going on.

    On the positive side, it was one of my days off work so I could actually sleep at night, what a concept.

    Picked up a Polar heart monitor at Dick's Sporting Goods. I think it's the one T suggested, the F6. Now I've just got to read the directions and put it to use.

    Cooked a boatload of protein and packaged it up. Should do better now that some food is preped again. woohoo!!

    Here's my screwed up meals for the day, fell short on fats & protein, got stuck in between hi & lo on carbs;

    fruit
    - 2 bananas (2 fruit)

    carbs
    - 1 lg sweet potato (c)
    - 1 cont mixed carrots & grape tomatos in salad (c)

    protein
    - 2 cont steak (2p)
    - 1/2 cont turkey breast (1/2 p)

    fat
    - 2 serv mixed raw nuts (2f)

    Large salad
    - spinach, lettuce, the carrots & grape tomatos, the steak, mushrooms, onion, red & green peppers, roasted peppers

    And to make things worse, no organized exercise for the day. Will start over again for wednesday and get back on track. Hell, I've got a treadmill & universal in my damn living room. I better get the drying clothes off of them, and the dust too. Hah!!!!

  33. Jan - PLENTY of healthy choices to eat in the city... there is a PAX on every other corner, health food stores everywhere... at PAX grab a big spinach salad, load up all the raw veggies, get some grilled chicken on it and balsamic.

  34. Jess - curious where you are doing the TABATA workouts and using what... TABATA is a good protocol but most do it wrong and totally miss the point. Without a HR monitor it is pointless - it is a very precise science.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Frank - an important lesson about having exercise stuff in the home... people don't use them and there is good reason why. People associate their home as a place to relax and not to workout. People buy stuff with great intention, but your intentions can't out-wit your habits and associations unless you understand the crux of the problem. Be aware of what you are up against and defeat it.
