Getting the body that I want

Sorry for the lack of post this weekend

I had a gig the whole weekend and wasn’t able to post. So here’s what happen this weekend

saturday:

I worked early saturday. Just drankhalf a muscle milk because I knew that they would have food on set. Unfortunately it wasn’t the healthiest. I tried to stick with the bananas and drank lots of water. For lunch they order Chipotle for us, and I just can’t help myself with it. I ordered a burrito bowl (atleast I didn’t have the tortilla). I ate half for lunch and half for dinner. At the 12 hour mark of work, they ordered pizza but I didn’t eat. I just ate some whole thins with peanut butter. Wasn’t able to work out cuz when I got back home, I had to go pick up my roommate from his work and then take him to walmart fo buy some stuf. 

Sunday:

In the morning I was able to convince my work buddy, that was working with me on this gig, to go with me to LAfitness since call time wasn’t till 8:30am. We didn’t do much cu we got there around 7:20 and we had to leave at least 20 minutes to get there in time. And he likes to talk, lol. But we did some triceps and chest (which is what I can’t do too much at home for lack of equipment). Just had a protein shake, when I ate some whole thins with peanut butter (I think I might buy those things, delish) and for lunch they had roasted chicken and rice, and a tortilla and other random stuff, I just took a little bit of rice and 2 chicken legs. Then ate a little bit of chicken at night. When we got home, my friend came with to check out some gear we invested together that was at my place. He and my other roommate bought beers. I didnt have any, just some wine. Then I took them to taco bell cuz they had the munchies, and I didn’t have any either. I am proud of my self for those things. 

So I didn’t lose any weight this weekend, but I didn’t gain anything so thats good. 

Let’s see what this week holds.

thefitty: The Benefits of Peanut Butter It’s healthy, filling, and can be a dieter’s best friend I have grown tired of hearing misinformed dieters avoiding this delicious delight. Here’s the 101 on why you SHOULD absolutely include this nut butter into your diet. I loved getting pb&j sandwiches in my school lunch box—until I became a teenager. That’s when peanut butter turned into a guilt-ridden indulgence akin to candy bars, cookies, and cakes: diet disasters to be avoided at all costs. Here’s why I was wrong: It helps you lose weight Calling peanut butter a diet food, with 180 to 210 calories per serving, may seem counter-intuitive. But it has the enviable combination of fiber (2 g per serving) and protein (8 g per serving) that fills you up and keeps you feeling full longer, so you eat less overall. Plus, there’s nothing more indulgent than licking peanut butter off a spoon—and indulgence (in moderation) helps dieters fight cravings and stay on track. It’s packed with nutrition A serving of peanut butter has 3 mg of the powerful antioxidant vitamin E, 49 mg of bone-building magnesium, 208 mg of muscle-friendly potassium, and 0.17 mg of immunity-boosting vitamin B6. Research shows that eating peanuts can decrease your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic health conditions. One study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that consuming 1 ounce of nuts or peanut butter (about 2 tablespoons) at least 5 days a week can lower the risk of developing diabetes by almost 30%. It’s got the good fat Peanut butter is chock-full of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. A recent study found that insulin-resistant adults who ate a diet high in monos had less belly fat than people who ate more carbohydrates or saturated fat. PS: If you’re buying reduced-fat peanut butter because you think it’s better for your waistline, save your money. The calories are the same (or even a little higher) thanks to the extra ingredients that are added to make up for the missing fat (including more sugar). How to Buy the Best The fat and calorie counts of most brands of peanut butter are similar, but there are other indications of a healthier pick. Here’s what to look for: Sodium: Counts can range from 40 mg to 250 mg per 2-tablespoon serving. (Organic versions tend to have less.) Keep in mind that higher sodium content tends to mask the peanut flavor. Sugar: Natural brands have 1 to 2 g—about half as much as commercial brands. The sugar content isn’t so much a health issue as a question of flavor and use: If you’re making a savory dish like satay sauce or combining peanut butter with a sweet ingredient, such as jelly or honey, save a few calories by choosing an unsweetened brand.
