Been Sick
I have been sick for a few days. I will be back to blogging in the next couple of days. I don't know what kind of bug I got, but I have been sleeping a lot, upset stomach, and everything that goes with it. I am sorry for not posting regularly.

Day 176
First let me start by apologizing for missing yesterday. I simply let time slip by and forgot.
As for Day 176:
Breakfast: Two egg scramble, red onion, green pepper, mushrooms, short spray of olive oil.
Mid Morning: Raw Organic Almonds
Lunch: Medium salad with romaine, red onion, green pepper, mushrooms, carrot, spinach, variety of spices, long spray of olive oil, and red wine vinegar.
Afternoon: Microwaved "baked" potato.
Dinner: Half a chicken breast (more than enough) and lots of steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots.
Late Night: Raw Organic Almonds.
Day 176 workout: Red Hot Core and a 3 mile walk. It was an "active recovery" day.
The 100% clean eating is getting easier, except that Halloween candy is a big weakness of mine. Only a couple more days and I will be home free.
As Day 180 approaches I can help but to think about how far I have come in such a short amount of time. I am very excited to do the Day 180 weigh in and pictures. I am even more excited about the update video!!!!!

Day 174 on Heavy Hippie's Road to Fitness
Breakfast: Two egg scramble (I am no longer going to list what I put in them, they are the same daily).
Morning Snack: A handful of Raw Almonds.
Lunch: Standard salad and potato
Afternoon Snack: A little more than a handful of Raw Almonds.
Dinner: A slow cooked whole chicken with carrots, celery, and onion. I eat lots of the veggies and a little of the chicken.
Late Snack: Home roasted peanuts.
I eat a little too much today. But it was all GF, DF, and nonGMo. So my promise is still intact, but I will have to be extra careful tomorrow and the next day.
Workout was Energy followed by Red Hot Core. It is the first day of the last week of the advanced schedule for DDPYoga. I agreed to do it with another TeamDDPYoga member. Double Black Diamond tomorrow, I have not done that for about 90 days. It will be interesting!!!
Until next blog, PEACE!!!!

Sunday ("Rest Day")
Breakfast: Two egg scramble with lots of onions and some spinach.
Lunch: My standard medium salad followed by my standard baked potato.
Dinner: "Wholefoods" Hot Bar. I had a sweet potato and kale soup. It had celery, onions, radish, and a couple of other veggies that I can't remember off the top of my head.
I decided to do Fat Burner and a 3 1/4 mile run. Run time was long, but it was my first run in a week.
Until my next post, PEACE!!!!

day 172 on Heavy Hippie's Road to Fitness (Jesse's Second Race).
This Blog contains multiple videos. Take a second and pause them before you start.
I will start with saying my diet today was good and bad. You will understand as I get into it. Still 100% Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and non-GMO!!!
Breakfast: One Winesap apple. (yes, that is it, and yes I know that is not enough!!!)
After breakfast we are off to Jesse's second race, the Call Federal Richmond Marathon, Jr. This was an OUTSTANDING event. Jesse ran a great race, one half mile long. He finished in 5 minutes and 5 seconds. He was in the top half of his age division. After the race it was announced that Jesse had won 2nd place in the costume contest!!!!!
Can you believe that he was the only Flash at a costume race???
From there we came home to prepare for the next event. Rumor was Zombies would be invading Carytown.
I did the Level One DDPYoga workout. Then jumped in the shower.
Lunch: A microwaved "baked" potato. (yes that is it, and yes I know that is not enough!!!)
We ran out of the door and off to Carytown. As we approached Carytown we started looking for parking spots because parking there is HORRIBLE. We immediately find a spot only one block from Cary St. Odd. We park and start to walk up the street. And then we realize....we are over a mile away from Carytown, now the parking makes much more sense. We talk it over and decide to walk it. Why not? BUT we know Jesse isn't up for it so I decide to carry him on my shoulders. Jesse ways 62 pounds. I walked the whole way with him. I lost my breath a couple of time but nothing like just me alone walking with Brook (she is a super speed walker) back when I was MUCH heavier. We arrive at Carytown and Jesse gets off my shoulders. I find that the only thing hurting is my shoulders. Oh well, a free shoulder workout.
As we are walking around Carytown Jesse (still as Flash) decides he wants to trick-or-treat. All of the merchants are doing it so we let him. As the candy fills the bag I am DYING to have some. Luckily (or not), "For the Love of Chocolate" is right up the block. We go in and ask if they have anything GF, DF, and nonGMO. AND THEY DO!!!! A chocolate and seasalt bar.
Small Snack: Three squares of a Chocolate and Seasalt bar.
Now, it's time for the zombie invasion!!!
After we are finsihed "fighting" our way through the Zombies we walk the over a mile back the car, and drive back to Ellwood Thompson's market for a:
Second Lunch: A "Green Supreme" Juice. It has Kale, Swiss Chard, Celery, Ginger, Apple, and Lemon. WOW. It tasted...good, but could have had less lemon. But the energy I got from it was AMAZING!!!!
After that we head home for so much needed down time. We all do our own thing for a few hours (I gamed).
Dinner: Amy's Kitchen brand Gluten Free Dairy Free non-GMO pizza. It was good. A little too good. I probably eat too much of it, but I didn't feel stuffed or bloated afterward like if it was standard pizza.
After dinner, Jesse said he wanted to go to an Arcade. After much deliberation we were off!!!! We have coupons!!! When we arrive at Swaders (http://www.swaders.com/), Jesse has Brook play Dance Revolution. I had video, but it has mysteriously disappeared. But we are not here to play video games. We are here to win tickets. Lots of tickets. We play some games and have little luck winning a lot of tickets. UNTIL Jesse finds a pirate wheel of fortune. And he hits the JACKPOT. 1000 tickets. He trades it in for a Minion stuff animal. Now it is off to the go-karts. Brook and Jesse vs. Me. It is a tight race and we have the track all to ourselves. Jesse and Brook edge out the win in the last turn. Now it is back to the house. To our surprise Jesse is still wide awake (10pm). But once we get home he crashes hard. Brook and I end the day watching television.
Late Night Snack: GF/DF/nonGMO Chocolate bar with some all natural peanut butter (yes I know, I was bad)

Day 3 of 100% Clean Eating, A Trip to the Grocery Store
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!!!!
