New Year, New Log - Getting Back In Action

[takniteasy]

I am jumping on the band wagon here. My last log was good while it lasted and definitely helped me to break plateaus. I am currently not able to lift because of major surgery on Dec. 19th. My lift restriction until at least January 31st is nothing >10 lbs. I can do short walks (no running/Elliptical per Dr. orders) but right now tire easily. So I will use Shadow’s eating plan with modifications to at least maintain body weight and possibly composition until I can lift again.

Stats as of Jan. 7:
Weight: 129-130 lbs.
BF% (caliper): 24.2%

I will begin with supplements in 1 week (gotta get them first): Glucorell, Sesapure to begin with, then will use CardioBreeze for a.m. walking, then when cleared to begin lifting, using Red Blast.

I will log foods in FitDay, then on here. The real challenge will be once I am cleared to lift, to ease back into things. I tend to go gungho into weight training.

Did good on this day; macros are close to where they need to be.

M1: Egg white sandwich - 2 slices 7-grain bread, 3/4 cup egg whites, 1 slice 2% cheese, 2 cups coffee
M2: 2 scoops whey protein in H2O
M3: turkey gumbo (last of the leftovers), 1/4 cup brown rice
M4: 5 lumpia (fresh), 1 cup steamed broccil florets, 1/4 cup reduced fat mac n cheese
M5: 1/4 cup dry roasted peanuts (I am tired of these, will be getting more almonds this w/end)

M1: 2 scoops whey protein, 2 slices 7-grain toast with ButterBuds
M2: 1/4 cup peanuts
M3: seafood gumbo (homemade w/no fat base), 1/2 cup brown rice, 5 wheat crackers

Yes, I am eating alot of gumbo. I made 2 giant batches in Nov. and Dec. and need to eat 'em up! (I think the worst thing in it would be the flour used to make the base (roux). I used no fats.)
