Oct 25th: Low Carb Day

Cardio day. Took me all day to get motivated. FINALLY got to it around 5:30 PM. Took my Pure Powder 30 min prior. That hit the spot.

Worked in with my 5:30 class. Lot’s of jump rope and kettlebells. Good times were had by most?

12:30PM-chicken leg, thigh, wind (no skin), 2 slices low carb bread (6g per piece), 2 tbsp almond butter, 1 cup broccoli

4:45PM- HPN Pure Powder

6:30PM- ½ cup cottage cheese, 2 scoops Biochem, ¼ cup coconut milk

8:45PM-6oz chicken breast, 1 cup steamed broccoli

11:00-2 slices low carb bread, high protein peanut butter (2 tbsp almond butter, ½ scoop Casein, 2 tbsp Fage yogurt)

Had a great meeting regarding the MB8 eBook and program with Sean Torbati of HPN. So stoked at how this is going. More to come!
