xueimelynnad’s BodyBlog

got myself a pullup bar for the house, and I have started the new diet.  now I need rings for the pullup bar so I can do ring dips and bodyweight rows and such.

the diet is an oatmeal/bannana/milk shake for breakfast with my multivitamin, coffee, and yogurt later on in the morning, I may add some protien drink in there too somwhere.  then two sandwiches, one at lunch and one at around 3pm.  the sandwich will be whole wheat bread (I want to find some that doesnt have folid acid added) with 2oz cheese, 4oz meat (turkey or roast beef, whatever is on sale) and a generous helping of "spread".  the spread is gonna be beans (black and I will start trying others too) and some jalepenos, redpeppers, onions, spices, all smashed and blended together smoothly, think bean dip but no lard or oil, or think guacamole using beans instead of avacados, though I will likely make guac as spread too for variety.  one day a week instead of my sandwiches I will hit the salad bar at my local grocery store and try to get more veggies in my diet.  dinners will be whatever my wife and I make for dinner, but we are getting healthier in our planning and have gotten a bunch of whole foods to make meals with instead of processed.  we will make a couple large batches of the meal parts at the begining of the week and then just assemble and reheat for dinners, since we both work and there is no time.  weekends will be leftovers of the dinners throughout the week.

My lovely wife has expressed interest in us all getting healthier and eating less/better and she tried out the pullup bar and even though I dont think she’s ever made much pullup efforts in her life, she could get so very close to a full one last night, I think by the end of the week she will be able to easily do a full one, which will be very encouraging.  she’s always impressing and suprising me.
