Breakfast: My normal two egg scramble, this one had red onions, mushrooms, and spinach.
Lunch: A medium size salad with Romaine, red onions, spinach. Some spices, a long spray of olive oil, and a splash of garlic basil vinegar.
Dinner: I was at the local Organic Market. I eat off of their hot bar. All gluten free, Dairy free, and nonGMO.
The shopping experience at Elwood Thompson's in Carytown was AMAZING.
All of their produce is local (within 100 miles), and MOST is organic. We picked up lettuce, celery, and a few other produces. BUT here comes the really fun part. We made our own peanut butter and almond butter. It was 100% organic peanuts/almonds and the machine grinds them down into a butter. No fillers or sugar added.
They had TONS and TONS of GF/DF/nonGMO snacks. Everything you could think of. I don't recommend the sea weed snacks but everything else was OUTSTANDING. We seemed to be have been drawn to the Enjoy Life brand. All of their snacks are great so far. Brook tried one of their "picnic packs" and she will be picking up more of those to take to work for her lunch.
Evening Snack: We enjoyed, probably a little too much, some 100% Gluten Free non-GMO corn chips.
All in all we will be going back to that store again and again!!!
Until next time, PEACE!!!!

Breakfast: ONE EGG scramble with red onion, green pepper, mushrooms, and spinach, with a short spray of olive oil. (Only one egg because I forgot to put eggs on the shopping list.
Lunch: Medium sized salad with Romaine, spinach, green pepper, red onion, mushrooms, a variety of spices, and a long spray of olive oil and a splash of red wine Vinegar. Then a microwaved potato about an hour later.
Dinner: Bison burgers with no filler, oven roasted asparagus. Desert was So Delicious brand Almond Cream Sandwich (a Gluten Free, Dairy Free, nonGMO ice cream sandwich alternative).
My workout was OUTSTANDING. I did the Level One DDPYoga workout. It is 54 minutes long. I spent 38 minutes in my Fat Burning Zone!!! I am pleased with the results.
Until tomorrow, PEACE!!!!

First "clean eating" Day report
As I said I must be held accountable for my diet and no better way than to publicly blog what I eat, so here we go:
Breakfast:
Two egg scramble with onions, green peppers, mushrooms. A short spray of olive oil. That's it.
Lunch:
A medium sized salad with spring mix, baby spinach, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, one carrot, a small amount of spices, a long spray of olive oil, and a splash of red wine vinegar. Then about an hour later I had a potato that I lightly coated in olive oil, then sprinkled with a small about of sea salt, and I microwaved it.
Dinner:
A small amount of chicken, and a large amount steamed cauliflower and broccoli.
Snack:
Our snack for this night was Kale Chips with Old Bay seasoning. The Kale Chips will come back, the Old Bay will not. TOO spicy.
All products were organic or non-GMO certified.
Yesterday I took a "rest day" but it was the first rest day that was not converted into a "cheat day". So that is a little victory in it's self.

A phone call from DDP, and a possible cure for Psoriasis?
As I alluded to in my last post I received a phone call this morning. It was from Diamond Dallas Page. Most of who read this will know right away how that is. A few will not so let me clear that up right off the bat.
Diamond Dallas Page was a professional wrestler in the 1990's. At one point he was dropped during a routine move but landed wrong. It fractured his spine. He was told he would never wrestle again. While rehabbing his injury his lady talked him into doing some yoga. As with nearly all man he was VERY resistant. But he did cave into his lady's request (and what man among us wouldn't????) What he found was that yoga is AWESOME. But who likes all of that inner peace, namaste crap. DDP certainly did not. So he decided to tweak it a bit. He added calisthenics, some rehabilitation exercises, and traditional yoga poses (we call them positions). And that became Yoga for Regular Guys (YRG). YRG was then tweaked and rebranded DDPYoga.
So, while I was talking with DDP he asks about my nutrition. I told him that when I am good I am great, but I have bad days, where I am VERY bad. He told me that he thinks if I eat clean for three weeks my psoriasis will clear up. At first I hesitated, simply because I have tried every trick I have ever hard to clear up my scales, none have worked. BUT; until DDPYoga I had not found an exercise program that worked for me either. So I have decided to give this a try. I mean, really, what could eating clean hurt? And I like that I now have DDP to answer to if I fail in this (I WILL NOT FAIL).
Also today I ROCKED my DDPYoga workout. Like no other before. It was a combination of having done a light workout yesterday and the phone call this morning.
For the next three weeks I will do my very best to log everything I eat and post it in a nightly blog. I am also going to take pictures of my shins now and in three weeks. Let's see what happens!!!!!

Busy Busy Busy
Man I have been busy busy busy. I just wanted everyone to know that I am doing well. I have lost all the weight I put back on plus a couple of extra pounds. I got a phone call this morning from a special person. I will be posting a video about the call as well as my plan for the next three weeks late tonight or tomorrow.

Good and Bad
So I slipped a little last night. Nothing major but I need to be accountable. After we got home from the "Fitness Night" at Jesse's school I was still VERY hungry. We have no snacks in the house except for Jesse's. So I eat some Gold Fish (the crackers). Maybe about two servings. Actually I just looked it up and I probably only eat one serving.
So to move on to the good:
Today I have done great. I had my two egg scramble earlier. I just finished my DDPYoga Level One workout and OWNED IT. Even the Bow and Arrow, which I had not been able to do until today. I will also be going on a run shortly. I am not sure how long of a run, but a run just the same.
So for now, eat right and exercise and HAVE FUN!!!!!
PEACE!

Two days into my reboot and all is well!!!!
I just wanted to say that all is well. I have eaten right for nearly two whole days now. I did Fat Burner today. 25 minutes of sweat. I had my usual two egg scramble for breakfast, and a salad and potato for lunch. I had another potato for dinner, but didn't have anything else because we are going to Jesse's Kindergarten "Fitness Night" and they are suppose to have "healthy" snacks, so I want to try some of those. If they turn out to be bad or not very filling I will eat some veggies when I get home!!!!
That's it for today.
That's it for today.
