Week 6 Day 5

I weigh 168lbs this morning. I ran 5.66 miles yesterday. I didn't break any records, but I got it done. I ran in a fasted state. Here is what I ate yesterday:

10am, Green Berry smoothie with GNC recovery protein powder added
           Leftover sweet potato
           Some blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries for dessert

2pm,  Salad with kim chi, sour kraut, El Charro's hot sauce, radishes, and mushrooms
          Leftover sweet potato
          Udi's gluten free millet and flax bread with strawberry spread (not pictured)

Greens and berry smoothie.

The smoothie had a banana, greens, berries, greens powder, and protein powder.

The first meal leftover sweet potato. It was a golden jewel sweet potato.

I had a few of each of these berries. About 1/3 cup of blueberries, 8 blackberries, and 3 strawberries.

The salad of the second meal. I took a picture before I added the radishes and mushrooms.

The second meal sweet potato. It was a purple sweet potato.

The monkey bars are complete.

Well almost. The cement is still drying out.

Week 6 Day 4

    Today I weighed in at 168lbs. The Omron device gave my body fat at 11%. Yesterday I did one 30minute exercise session. I worked on building the monkey bars. Here's what I had to eat yesterday.

 8:35am crunchy potato slices
              Salad with strawberries, blue berries, and black berries
              cold potato wedges with ketchup

12:35pm Salad with kim chi, sour kraut, and El Charro's hot sauce
               Large sweet potato (not pictured)
                1/2 cup blue berries
                3 large strawberries

I had coffee, tea, water, and flavored club soda to drink.

These are boiled potatoes that have been coated with egg whites and rolled in corn meal with some of Mrs. Dash seasoning. I dipped them in ketchup too.

The salad with berries. Lots of berries.

Cold boiled potatoes with ketchup.

The second salad of the day. Kim chi and sour kraut to get probiotics and cruciferus veggies in the diet.

These are the flavored club sodas that I had yesterday. I like the taste of them. I usually make my own flavored club soda. It is much cheaper that way. I take club soda and add some freshly squeezed lime, lemon, grapefruit, or orange juice to the soda. It needs to be freshly squeezed and just enough to flavor the soda.

Monkey bar set is almost complete.

9 feet tall and 12.5 feet in length. It has 13 rungs.

Week 6 Day 3

I missed a couple of days there posting. St. Patty's day and all. I weighed 170lbs on Tuesday. I'm 171lbs today. I had a lot of sodium yesterday with sour kraut, pickles, and kim chi.
    I've been working out in the shop building some exercise equipment. I'm working on a semi-portable pull-up bar and a stationary monkey bar set for my yard.

 The monkey bar assembly.

Portable pull-up bar. It is still under design mode. The idea I got online was just too flimsy. So I'm beefing it up.

Another lady makes it to the top of the rope.

Tonight at the Primal Fitness Class Monica made it to the top of the rope. We are getting ready for the Spartan Race in May.
