Day 4 overall kicked ass but lunch and the afternoon wasn’t so great. When I pulled out my spinach at lunch time for the 7th consecutive meal my stomach was churning. I also decided to eat in the break room with my coworker as opposed to at my desk in solitude. This meant smelling and looking at everyone else’s delcious savory meals. They all knew something was amiss seeing me A) eating in the breakroom since I always eat out and B) for me to be eating so much spinach instead of so many well done animal style fries from In N Out. At that point I knew I needed a meal change for dinner.
So far every lunch and dinner since Monday I’ve been eating the same exact 8oz Top Sirlion with 2 cups of spinach. I knew I could substitute the steak for salmon and found out more recently I could sub out the 2 cups of spinach for a cup of brocoli but didn’t want to until I REALLY needed it in order to make it taste that much better. Anyways before I got home I stopped at my local small Grocery Store and bought about 2 cups of organic brocolli. I then proceeded to the meat deli and with my stomach rumbling from hunger had to pull the trigger on getting 1lb of King Salmon. That orange meat never looked so tasty! And it was damn expensive at $23 per lb!
I rushed home and proceeded to cook THE BEST MEAL EVER!!! I was literally salivating watching 8oz of this beautiful regal beast cook with juices all over the pan. Side note: I did not workout like usual before dinner because I had indoor lacrosse from 9:30-11pm later in the evening. I was genuinely concerned I would have zero energy during the game and not only play badly but also get crushed and/or hurt. The salmon and broccoli dinner saved me. I’ve never felt so appeased by such a simple meal. My body felt better than ever and the game went well. With only 3 subs on my team, I basically played almost 90% of the game. I also scored 4 of my team’s 5 goals! But we lost…story of my lax career.
Day 4 killed it because I ate like a King. I had such a big smile and it took me one whole episode of How I Met Your Mother to finish my plate of food. Usually it takes me till the first commercial to be on my second plate!
I’m also flying down to San Diego right after work for the weekend to watch the Chargers destroy the Bills so I got both my lunch and dinner packed with me on the way to work. One is steak and spinach and the other is salmon and broccoli. Which should I eat for dinner at the airport!?
Day 4 – Right when I got home from lax: 171lb/16.7%, After chugging water and a shower: 171.8lb/15.5%.
Get some.
