Where's the Beef? 🥩

Hello, I hope everyone had a fantastic week staying alive and healthy! If you have your health and freedom life is all good.

So, this week we have tri-tip on sale. After eating New York’s for over a week it’s nice to change up the texture and flavor of my meat. The tri-tip is definitely a fattier cut and it seems to be a bit juicier than the New York. I've been waiting for the Flat Irons to go on sale because ironically the Flat Irons are more expensive than the normal prices for New York and Rib Eye. I talked with the butcher at FoodMaxx the other day and he said the reason why is that they get their New Yorks and Rib Eye from Mexico and they get their Flat Iron from Canada. So apparently meat prices from Canada are ridiculous. 

I’m really loving these early morning workouts. If you can fit morning workouts into your schedule, I highly recommend them. Like today I finished a chest and back workout, did 30 minutes of cardio, took a shower, hung out on my inversion table for 10 minutes, drank my power smoothie, and did my laundry for the week. I finished all that by 9:30 am. That gave me about 30 minutes to sip on some tea and treat my first patient at 10 am.

Well, I hope everyone has a fantastic week. Take care of yourself and make self-care a priority.

Seize the Day 🌻

Wow, a week sure has gone by fast! I almost forgot to post up on my blog here. All this smoke must be getting to my brain. I’m usually inside all day helping people with spine care but I like to have the windows open to keep the fresh air blowing in. I hope all the people are doing okay that are being affected by the fires. It was devasting last year when we were affected here locally.

I’ve been hitting the gym a bit earlier now. So instead of going at 6:30 am I start at 5:30 am. It’s great because it gives me plenty of time to get through my workout, do my cardio, and take a shower. I’m usually able to get back to work before 8 am. When I was younger, I remember feeling tired waking up in the mornings, but now I just feel amazing. I usually go to bed at around 10 pm and I wake up without an alarm clock.

The food plan is going very well and I’m still enjoying those New York steaks on sale at FoodMaxx. The cut is definitely not as tender and juicy as the Rib Eyes but a little bit better than the Tri-Tip. I’m sure next week the Tri Tips will be on sale.

For some reason, the frozen fruit has been slacking at FoodMaxx. I usually get the frozen mangos but I haven’t seen them in a few weeks. It must be due to Covid. So I’ve been doing the blueberries and strawberries instead.

I’ve also been doing a spoon full of raw honey every morning with my shake. I buy my honey online from North Dakota. It is so delicious. I’ve tried several varieties and this one is the best for my tastes. It’s called “TJO Bees”.

Well, keep up the good work and stay positive. Remember every day you are alive and healthy is a gift.

Happy Friday the 13th 🔪

I hope everyone had another great week of health and happiness! 

I’m loving my workout routine and food plan.

Last week ribeyes were on sale and this week new yorks are on sale. I think ribeyes are a little more juicer but new yorks aren’t too bad.

The only thing that sucks about the gym right now is having to wear a mask. This is especially cumbersome when doing cardio. But at least the gym is still open 🙏

Keep On Truckin ⛽

Happy August! Who’s ready for Halloween? 🤣 

I switched up my weight training workouts a little bit. Now, I train chest and back on the same day and I superset back and forth. So instead of resting in between sets, I will just do another exercise; like I will do bench press and then pulldowns together. I also do this with my arm workouts. I still train my shoulders and legs on separate days. I train every morning with no days off and this is my training split over a four-day period: chest and back; shoulders; arms; legs and calves. I do cardio after each workout except for leg days.

I think the best time to work out is first thing in the morning. This way you know it will get done and it’s the best way to start your day.

After I workout I drink my fruit smoothie protein shake and drink green tea until it’s time for lunch. I get really full after lunch and that’s all I eat for the rest of the day. I’m never hungry at night, I feel amazing all day, and I’m never tired.

Well, I hope everyone has a fantastic week!
