Day 1 - Breakfast

This is it. I've decided to return to my former physical condition from High School. Ten years of studying and working behind a desk, business lunches, and food on the road have turned me from stud to pud. I'm not sure what I weigh, but it's probably over 250 lbs. I used to be 190 lbs. lean, with muscle.

I think I can do it in 180 days. It may be extreme, but I think it's possible with regular exercise and diet, proper sleep and discipline. I'm going to post every single thing I eat, and what I do for my workouts. I believe it is possible to be in shape without any crazy dieting or bizarre products such as HydroxyCut. A good head on my shoulders and a gym membership will do just fine.

So here goes... what I had for breakfast:

-3 slices of Dempster's ancient grains whole-wheat bread
-2 eggs fried without oil or butter (used PAM cooking spray)
-1 cup of home-made Hummus - recipe below
  • 1 small can of boiled chick peas
  • 2 tbsp of vinegar
  • 2 cloves of crushed garlic (more can be added for garlic lovers)
  • 2 tbsp of freshly pressed lemon juice
  • white pepper, to taste
  • salt, one pinch (but can be done to taste as well)
  • 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • Mash everything together except the garlic. Once a paste is formed, let the crushed garlic sit on top of the paste for 1-2 mins. Resume mashing. Eat or Refigerate as soon as finished.
-1 glass of freshly pressed tangerine juice
-1 tsp. of Nutella chocolate spread

I'm off to the gym now, will be back later.
