SIMPLY ALOHA TUESDAY :)

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

 

TODAY WAS A SIMPLE AND RELAXATION DAY FOR ME.  THE WEATHER WAS CHILLY THAN NORMAL WITH CLOUDY SKIES BUT I STILL DID MY 2 MILE WALK TO ENJOY THE OUTDOORS.

 

 

 

AND FOR DINNER I MADE AN "ASIAN CHICKEN KALE SALAD"...  IT CAME OUT PRETTY TASTY!!!

 

 

95 GRAMS PROTEIN, 30 GRAMS CARBS, 21 GRAMS FAT = 691 CALORIES!!!

 

 

I'VE BEEN ON  MACROS EATING PLAN AND IT'S THE BEST THING FOR ME!!!  IN THE PAST I DIDN'T HAVE THE PATIENCE TO DO THE MATH AND COUNT MY CALORIES AND GRAMS OF ALL THE DETAILS OF EACH FOOD I ATE.  BUT NOW I'VE BEEN MEETING MY "MACROS" PRETTY ON PAR AND ITS BEEN 3 WEEKS AND I'VE DROPPED CONSIDERABLE WEIGHT AND ONLY DOING CARDIO. 

 

MY WEIGHT TRAINING WILL START SOON, HOPEFULLY BY NEXT WEEK AND I'M STILL WORKING ON A PERSONAL PLAN THAT I'M DOING FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, IT IS A "HYPERTROPHY STRENGTH TRAINING" PROGRAM BUT A MORE ADVANCED AND STRUCTURED ONE.

 

IT'LL ALL COME INTO PLACE, I'LL BE KEEPING ALL OF YOU POSTED!!!

 

AND NOW MORE BEAUTIFUL PICS...

 

 

EVEN ON A CLOUDY DAY, ALASKA AIRLINES IS STILL THE BEST DAMN PLACE TO WORK FOR!!!
