Friday was all about next games prep and planning I woke up with a sore knee, it band causing issues. I worked a half day, and spent the afternoon waking it off, getting in about 5 miles walking. When I got home I grilled up this sirloin steak. The steak was seasoned with @neilsarap original beef and grilled using @bearmountainbbq oak pellets. Afternoon snack is a @questnutrition bar and dinner was chicken parmesan with garlic Parmesan toast and sauteed zucchini. Throughout the day I enjoyed a few slices of homemade sourdough. #bearmountainbbq #steak #chickenparmesan #foodoftheday

Loading up a bit for Saturday I broke my 36+ hour fast with a slice of sourdough and a @questnutrition bar. For lunch I had 3 eggs and a slice of sourdough topped with leftover bbq pulled chicken and some cheddar cheese. My afternoon snacks were @crisp.power protein pretzels and a think jerky stick. Dinner was @burgerlounge buffalo chicken sandwich and fries. Then we went to trivia with some friends and I had a taster of a stout beer. No workout yesterday as I am going to try and recover before tomorrow, but I did get my steps in. My weigh in today was up a lb vs my fully fasted weight the day before.

What does a food to fitness person post for a daily log when they do a 36 hour fast? I suppose a progress update! Let me start by saying sharing a selfie is not high on my list, but I need to be proud of my progress and sharing feels like a good way to keep myself accountable and proud. I shared all the stats the body scan takes. If that’s your jam as well. This is a comparison from 1-9-2025 to 2-20-2025. You can see everything I have been eating, and know I have done a bit over 10k steps a day. With a daily workout Monday through Friday, and some extra workouts Sunday on occasion. I am most proud that in a caloric deficit I did not sacrifice lean muscle mass. I am doing the @nxptfit games as a volunteer and the open course Saturday. I’ll eat more than I have been in prep for that, and then go back to what I have been doing.

Pushing through the finish line Lunch was two cans of @starkistcharlie tuna, mixed with a touch of @litehousefoods ranch, some onion and garlic powder. Celery seed and crushed red pepper flake. I had this with some (ok a lot) of fresh baked sourdough bread. Dinner was a burger. This time with bacon. Grilled with @bearmountainbbq Hickory, seasoned with @neilsarap original beef and grilled underneath the bacon. Soaking up that extra goodness. Afternoon snack was a @questnutrition peanut butter cup and a premier protein coffee shake. Got my morning walks and workout in and added an evening walk with my wife #freshbread #tunasalad #burger #bearmountainbbq #cheeseburger #dailyfood #fitnessfocus

BBQ Chicken tostada with a corn salad on top I actually had a 4th one. It just didn’t fit on the plate. Crock pot chicken breast with bbq sauce. The corn tortilla is baked at 400, flipped, topped with cheese. Baked till the cheese melts, topped with chicken and it’s done. A little corn, cotija cheese, lime and green onion made up the topping, seasoned with paprika. Lunch was a bowl of cottage cheese. Snacks for the day, the last red bean paste bun and a @questnutrition bar. I got my workout in, and hit my step goal! Just a few days till my next body scan and the NXPT games are on Saturday. I’ll volunteer at those most of the morning then do the open heat for fun.

Valentine’s Dinner with friends and some treats and snacks. Dinner was a beer and sharing some fried jalapenos at Ketch followed by pho and edamame at Mignon pho and grill. With dinner I had a second beer and snagged a chicken wing and chicken bite from others at the table . The pho was rare steak with bok choy and broccoli. After dinner we walked over to the market and I got a pack of rolls with red bean paste and enjoyed two of those as well as some super dark chocolate squares, which I had a few of. When I got home, I had my rice crispy treat! One of my favorites. Earlier in the day I had a protein bar and meat stick to help me power through to dinner.

3 eggs, wilted spinach and a parmesan crisp That was my lunch, alongside two think jerky sticks. My pre dinner was a premier protein shake and dinner was out with friends. I had a dish named charred remains, which was a shard broccoli and brussel dish with lemon and chili oil over a ricotta. The workout was a grueling one and leg crusher. 40 and 45lb single leg RDL and a squats on a plate. Paired up with heavy sled pulls and running. I finished that and got in two rounds on the cardio and toes to bar. My body is feeling the week of workouts. One more today before a rest day tomorrow.
