Day 10
Made it to double digits days in a row. Sweet.
Here’s how day 10 went:
Breakfast:
Muesli bowl with almond milk and fruits and avocado toast.
Workout:
Leg Press
Bench Press
Pull Ups
Made some slight progress on bench press and pull ups. So far energy level still good.
Post workout Meal
Protein shake and banana
Lunch:
Brown rice, lentils, sriracha tofu and brussel sprouts.
I used a pre-marinated sriracha tofu from Trader Joe’s. Blehh.
Was not a fan of this. I thought having ready made tofu would taste good and save me time. Never again haha.
Food Shopping : $60
Was time to stock up the fridge with some groceries from Trader Joe’s
Dinner:
Was feeling lazy so just warmed stuff up in the microwave.
Before:
After:
Black beans, brown rice, avocado, and cauliflower.
I was tired and just wanted something to eat. So I simply made some quick food.
This meal was ok. I realized I’m not a big black beans guy. Even by adding some spicy flavor with salsa and sriracha I did not enjoy this meal much. It was fine for a one time thing but I would prefer not to eat it again.
Review:
I wanted to use premade stuff because I thought it would save me time and the taste might be better. However, the tradeoff is these packaged items have a lot of sodium in order to keep them preserved. I probably would have been fine with this if the meals tasted amazing. But clearly that’s not a guarantee.
So the lesson here is spend a little more time to make my own food. It’ll be tastier and be healthier. Win – win.
Guess I have to sharpen my cooking skills 🙂
