My appetite’s been all over the place (and so have I) so I know this isn’t textbook BFL, but I’m doing the best I can.  I may tack another week on to the challenge so I can clean things up and finish strong.

Workout: Exercise TV On Demand Chris Freytag’s Lower Body Workout+ 15 minutes ab work (straight leg crunches, full crunches with dumbbell, reverse crunches, windshield wipers, bicycle crunches).

  • Meal 1: Pumpkin Protein Oat Bran (1/3 c. oat bran, 1/4 c. pumpkin, cinnamon, stevia, 1 scoop Sun Warrior vanilla rice protein and almond butter)
  • Meal 2: 1/2 a Clif Mojo bar
  • Meal 3: Morningstar veggie burger + bowl of steamed carrots and broccoli
  • Meal 4: Handful of carrots and pea pods
  • Meal 5: Leftover tofu slabs + Hugh Jass salad of spinach, 1 c. steamed broccoli, 1 carrot, 1/2 a chopped red pepper, Bragg’s amino acids, lime juice, stevia, almonds and 1 T. hummus
  • Meal 5 1/2: 1.5 glasses red wine
  • Meal 6: Protein Pistachio Ice Cream (1 serving silken tofu, 1/2 T. rice protein powder, 2 T. pistachios, 2 T. cocoa powder, stevia, ice, xanthan gum and 2 T. TruWhip)

I’m really trying to finish off strong here, guys, I promise, but life keeps getting in the way.  Between three birthday parties this weekend and a family emergency yesterday, eating clean and getting hardcore workouts have been the least of my worries.  I’m no quitter, though!  I’ll try to get the rest of my meals and workouts up for the week, with a recap, measurement changes, etc. at the end of the week.
