The Plan

 So, yesterday was bringing you back up to speed (although I realized later I did forget to mention that I did do a third IMLP in 2017. It was the bike ride from hell but a good swim and run helped me squeak out a small PR), and now the plan:

Starting Point:

Food (a.k.a. Where the magic really happens):

Breakfast: 1/2 cup old fashioned oats with 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk before run, then two eggs scrambled in 1 tsp olive oil after.

Lunch: Green salad with 1 cup pork roast, veggies, diced apple,20-ish cals of olives, and half serving (1 TBS) dressing.

Snack: Protein shake and tangerine. On Mondays and Wednesdays when Dr. Z teaches self defense and we eat dinner at 7:30 I'll have a packet of Quest chips.

Dinner: Whatever I make. It's usually a simple baked, broiled, or grilled serving of meat with a veggie and about 3/4 cup of rice or a small potato. I'm not going to get too strict about this meal yet.

Bedtime Snack (because I sleep TERRIBLY on an empty stomach): 100 calorie pack of almonds.

Exercise:

Believe or not, I've decided to basically do the One-Punch Man workout for now. (Since I can't afford a gym membership.) 

For those who don't know, the workout is a 10K (6.2 mile) run, 100 pushups, 100 situps, and 100 air squats. Now first of all, I will NOT do it every day as that's not healthy so it'll be six days a week. Also, I'm going to have to build into it. Right now I'm running 3 miles, and doing 10 reps of each of the exercises and that's the plan for next week as well. 

I'm also going to do Runner's Yoga (this one: ) three days a week to improve mobility and prevent injury. I'll eventually add a 2-3 mile walk on my "rest day."

Other:

Another big factor right now is stress due to unemployment. My goals for that are meditating and getting outside every day. I'll also be doing the Mins Game to declutter and only checking the news once a week. (Any other suggestions for stress reduction welcome!) I also will make sure to get in 100 oz. of water a day.

So let's do this and see how it goes! I will at least update weekly with how things went, photo, weight and body fat, and plans for the following week.
