What have you done for your health today?

I love having the Ridge 6 miles from the house. Finally back at it for the last few weeks. It's really about 10.5 miles at the wheel.

Today was test and recovery, been back in the gym with my son for about 2 months. At first it felt like the strength was gone forever. But last few weeks it’s like the muscles woke up and said “ok Assholes- we are back but use it or lose it”

Workouts feel better than they have since my 20s. And despite swearing to my wife i wasn’t going to ever lift heavy again for the sake of my joints…that little teenager is on my shoulder calling me a puddy and loading the bar.

Could you share your recipe for those egg muffins? Ive been eating Greek yogurt for breakfast and I need to change it up sometimes.

Sure, I vary them almost every time, but pretty much the same. Depending on what ingredients and volume of them will change how many it makes. 20-24

2 silicone muffin pans
18-20 eggs
1 green pepper
1 sweet onion
1 lb of sausage/ bacon cooked. Sausage is better
Feta, as much as you prefer. For me it's a lot. 10 oz up to 1lb
Salt
pepper
I'll throw season salt in sometimes.

Bake 350 for 25 min. They'll be close. Check with a toothpick to make sure they are done. They freeze well, but pre-freeze on a cooling rack before you stack them in a container.
I will pull out 3-4 days worth at a time and let them thaw. 1.5 min in the microwave and you're good to go.
 
I don’t know if yesterday was good for my health or bad for my health. Definitely a new record on calories. Too dang many steps too, but I may have hit 30k at some point before I got this Garmin watch.

I wanted to get away from my lethargic, sitting in a chair at a desk lifestyle, so mission accomplished I guess haha.

Hopping back on this train. Turned 39 on the 9th. On the 10th, I got back in the gym and starting tracking calories. Doing 5x a week in the gym and running on Sunday. Using MacroFactor app to track food, it works really well, has AI built in. Can snap a photo of your plate and it will calculate everything out for you.

Down about 8lbs already.

Downloaded the cronometer app two weeks ago to track what I've been eating. Man what an eye opener to just how much fat content a slice of bacon has.. or peanuts!

Sorry, I'm one of the ones that thinks fat is good for you. Watch all the additives and processed stuff and you'll be fine.

My son was using an app like that. It's interesting
 
Ive been falling off the wagon with exercising. I was doing so good for about 3 weeks and I haven't been on the bike in about a week... Feel like I've lost my motivation. Still doing good with my supplements and I have been hydrating like a madman.

Just like eating fruit (high sugar) is good for you but eating gummy bears are not, there are good and bad fats. The fat in meats that is edible is typically not bad for you compared to say seed oils or Crisco type products

At the end of the day it’s all calories burned vs calories eaten unless you do have a serious nutrient deficiency. Fat is 9 cal/gram sugar and protein are 4 cal/gram so high fat items are easier to eat more calories before feeling full

protein vitamins and minerals are fat soluble and cannot be digested in the absence of fat, and your brain runs on cholesterol.
