Pizza and burgers and beer… oh my!

So once again, I’ve managed to shoot myself in the foot eating wise and dragged two others with me :-( For as good as I was doing with my eating last week, I once again caved in on the weekend. I was out with friends this weekend for SJ Pride and ended up have burger & fries followed up by pizza later on both Sat & Sun… along with a few beers along the way.

Ugh, when will I learn to control myself when eating out… The ironic part of this is that I just got the chapter on eating out in the Eat-Clean Diet book last night, after the fact. Then again, it was kinda of a special occasion… looking ahead I know that I will be dealing with the same thing in 2 weeks for SF Pride.

At least I did manage to get some workouts and burpees in over the weekend.

Smile for the camera…

So the only two ways I seem to end up in photos on the CFSC site is either passed on the floor or doing a overhead squat (pictured).

So yesterday was my first day back to the gym in about 13 days as I mentioned earlier. In spite of being rather tired at the end of the work day, I did head over to the gym and I’m glad that I did as it felt good to finally get back to a workout. Granted I didn’t do as well as I would have liked… between my should flexibility and wrist issues it was the upper body stability that I had issue with and when I failed it was because my wrist was giving out :-( Even though I only was able to do 105lbs (failed on 115lbs), Jason that I had some pretty good form :-)

Eating: So I haven’t gotten around to eating clean yet… between finishing up on-call, needing to do dishes, gym, shopping, and having to rearrange some stuff at my apartment I haven’t got around to prepping much food. I did make some turkey meatballs (from the Clean Eating cookbook) Mon and had them for lunch yesterday. But we’re getting lunch at the office today (or at least I think), so I didn’t bring anything in today. I had a breakfast sandwich from Specialties for breakfast, plus it bagel day here at the office so I have a bagel & cream cheese for a snack a little later. Hopefully tonight I’ll get around to cleaning up the kitchen so I can actually get some food ready. I did goto Costco yesterday with Ashley and came back with a bunch of spinach, veggies, feta, and egg sub… so I should be good to go with side for a while.

Ok… time actually start working at the office now…

EatCleanDietForMen

Confession time… So this past week/weekend I’ve been on-call, and as I’ve done in the past I’ve let it be an excuse to to make it to the gym :-( And to make maters worse, I’ve been eating bad as well.

I did go over to the bookstore yesterday and buy a new “diet” book… The Eat-Clean Diet for Men. I’ve got the Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook and have read the magazine a few times as well. Its been called out in several of the bodybuilding forums and articles I read in the past. Its basically about eating clean in general v.s. following a specific regiment. I’ll give it read and see how it goes. I still need to also meet up with the gym from the gym to see what he can offer.

Speaking of the gym… it will be good to get back tomorrow afternoon once I’m done with my on-call week.
