Plateau

I was hoping that the weight loss would continue but it stopped this week. I did not eat anything different nor did I cheat. I am going to cut out diet pepsi and make sure I do some kind of exercise everyday. It is definitely frustrating.....

Taco seasoning...

Anyone ever looked at the ingredients of taco seasoning? Gross. 9/10 ingrediants are not "real food" and the 10th ingredient is sugar.

I made lean ground beef last night and created my own taco seasoning. It came out really good. I used lots of pepper, ground red peper, ground cayenne pepper, and paprika. I also used a bit of salt. Just keep adding until it tastes good.

I mixed my ground beef with homemade guacamole and some salsa. It was delicious. I could have also added lettuce and tomato to make a taco salad, but I kept it simple.

I ate pretty well this week...until yesterday. I give myself a "B" for the week. I suspect school is going to be much busier this week, so I am going to have to be more disciplined. Trip to Iowa City was good! However, I'm amazed how some people in remote midwest towns stay sane.

Mizzou v KU on Monday. I'm nervous.

TGIF 3
Another good week of staying on the eating plan. Did not cheat once. Total loss about 8 pounds since Jan. 2. Loss seemed slower this week so I read a bit in Sisson's book to see what he had to say. Looks like 1-2 pounds a week is good so I am not discouraged. Two workouts planned for this weekend.

Going hard this week

This is my week for high reps: 10X10 of a variety of lifts, with 10 seconds/or so rest between. One week out of every 3=high reps. Shopping a hardtail mountain bike, for those days when riding the road bike is either unsafe or uninteresting...having an unusual amount of pre-buyer's remorse, suggests sticking with weights/road bike and not adding more 'options'. Being able to partner with Karen on our diet has been good for both of us. Have two really great trips all planned out, and just waiting for confirmation from Steve (New Zealand) and Tour Director (Europe--August track meets) before I arrange air. New Zealand trip would be in March: fly to Raro (Rarotonga) for a week in a hotel on the beach run by New Zealanders, and then on 'return' to LAX, fly to Auckland/Queenstown to stay with Steve/Michelle/Eric for a week and come home. In August: fly to London on Aug 11, and then join a 16 day tour of London/Paris/Switzerland ending in Brussels with three Diamond League track meets. 45 people/all track nuts--tour is a Track and Field News tour they do every year.
