Post Workout Meals: On the Slim Hot dogs

Image
After a long heavy work out I like to have something a savory. Here I am having grilled chorizo sausage on thin sliced whole grain bread a spread of chinese mustard to give a bit of kick and alfalfa sprouts. On the side low fat cottage cheese, sliced tomato, and a sliced kiwi. The tomato, kiwi and cottage cheese I have found goes well with this meal as it gives a cooling to the spicy sausage and mustard. 2 Thin slice whole wheat bread 5 grams of alafafa sprouts 2 small tomato's sliced 1 kiwi sliced 2 Chorizo sausage 1 tbs of chinese style mustard 3 tbs of low fat cottage cheese

Something Yummy: Okra Crisps

Image
On one of my trips into Crest I came by something instresting Okra that has been dehydrated. Okra crips is what they are called and can be purchased in bulk for not  to much money. They have been making a good chip alternative when I have a sandwhich or just need a snack. There is almost no salt high fiber and moderate carbs. I usually can't just eat one but have to get a handful. I was able to pick up a Huge bag for about 9 dollars. You might want to give them a try for a crunchy snack. Avaiable at Crest Markets.  Also aviable on Amazon .

To blast too, To blast too came from the water blue. Blast two, Blast to from what dew do thee come from. From the ocean dew from which I come. I sway in thy wind and cross great lands of few.

Currently Listening: Warspite: Ark Royal, Book 4

Humanity is losing the war. The once-mighty space navies have been crippled, officers and crew have been stretched to the limit, and Earth herself has come under heavy attack. The end cannot be long delayed. For Admiral Smith and the crew of HMS Ark Royal, the stakes have never been so high. The one hope is to make contact with alien factions that might oppose the war. But, as Ark Royal sets off on a desperate diplomatic mission, it rapidly becomes clear that there are both human and alien factions that wish to fight the war to the bitter end - and that her previous missions have sown the seeds of success...or total failure. ©2014 Christopher G.

Meals: Frig Diving 04152015

Rumble, rumble goes my stomach today while rummaging around in the frig looking for something to eat for lunch. Staying "Healthy" can be hard when caught with out anything prepared and needing it fast. Today's time flies by with us spinning around in our shoes when trying to get this or that done.  So putting something to eat can be a difficult decision. The first step is keeping things in the frig and pantry that you can throw together. Today I so happen to have a left over tomatoes, cottage cheese, English muffin and in the far back of the pantry a can of tuna.  From the frig I pulled out some frozen Kale that didn't get used when making a casserole. So slice up the tomato and scoop a few spoons of the cottage cheese dose the deal. Toast up the English Muffin to spread the on the tuna with some warmed in the microwave kale does a decent sandwich.  From these we get a small amount of Fat which is all good fats that is needed by the body. Some quick and long burning c...

Currently Listening: Tech World: Undying Mercenaries, Book 3

The Galactics arrived with their Battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined a vast Empire that spanned the Milky Way. Our only worthwhile trade goods are our infamous mercenary legions, elite troops we sell to the highest alien bidder. In the third book in the series, James McGill is deployed on another alien world. His third interstellar tour is different in every way. Rather than meeting up with a primitive society, this time he's headed to an advanced world. Tau Ceti, better known as Tech World, is the central trading capital of Frontier 921. McGill figures he's lucked out. The assignment looks dull but luxurious. Tau Ceti boasts a planet-wide city with a trillion inhabitants, all of whom are only interested in making a few credits. But all is not well on Tech World. The Empire is crumbling, an invasion is coming, and McGill's easy ride through life and death has come to an end. ©2014 B. V. Larson; (P)2014 Audibl...

The Galactics arrived with their Battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined a vast Empire that spans the Milky Way. Our only worthwhile trade goods are our infamous mercenary legions, elite troops we sell to the highest alien bidder. In 2122 a lost colony expedition contacts Earth, surprising our government. Colonization is against Galactic Law, and Legion Varus is dispatched to the system to handle the situation. Earth gave them sealed orders, but Earth is 35 lightyears away. The Legion commanders have a secret plan of their own. And then there's James McGill, who was never too good at listening to authority in the first place.... In Dust World, book two of the Undying Mercenaries Series, McGill is promoted to Specialist and sent to a frontier planet outside the Empire. Earth's status within the Empire will never be the same. ©2014 B. V. Larson; (P)2014 Audible, Inc.   Available at Audible AudioBook Dust World: Undying Me...

Water water every where.

Okay so not so much everywhere. But the body is composed of water about 50% for Females and 60% for males. Its very important to ensure you keep a good ratio of water are it is used by the body in so many ways. Keeping hydrated is important and so very easy to do however 90% of the population doesn't maintain a healthy level. Soda, pop or what ever you call it is not very healthy. Most have a lot of calories that your taking in and can really throw off any weight loss program. Diet soda  is just as bad since artificial surges are used to sweeten the beverage not to mention the acid and flavorings added. Over all these play havoc on the body and just not good for it. There are many studies out on the Net a quick Google search will give you lots to read on. Juice is just as bad on surgery compounds  and usually contains 5-8 servings of fruit than what the body needs. Also juice is high on carbs which makes it great when your sick or need to recover but over all you shouldn't d...

Currently Listening: Steel World: Undying Mercenaries, Book 1

In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers someone had to do their dirty work for them, their fighting and dying.

I can not stress enough how good this book is!! He just made it so much better now! If you looking to get healthy and loose weight you should  have this book. It's so worth it. Here's the deal: Getting into awesome shape isn't nearly as complicated as the fitness industry wants you to believe.

You don't need to constantly change up your exercise routines to "confuse" your muscles. You don't need to toil away in the gym for a couple of hours per day, doing tons of sets, supersets, drop sets, giant sets, etc. (As a matter of fact, this is a great way to stunt gains and get nowhere.) You don't need to grind out hours and hours of...
