October 1 was a strong day. Hit all the goals today.

The dinner I made tonight was so good! 93/7 ground beef, peppers, onion, taco seasoning, refried beans, guac, salsa, plain greek yogurt on spinach. Filling and delicious! #195by50

On a day I didn’t want to be here, it still got done. I feel great now that the lift is over. It was worth showing up! #195by50

Cardio day is the worst. Cardio day is done. #195by50

Today was tricky, I didn’t have my usual breakfast. I was going to miss my protein goal. So, I ended the day with Greek yogurt mixed with two scoops of protein powder.

A “chocolate pudding”. It was not what one might call “delicious.”

However, it got me to my goals. #195by50

9/22 259.9 9/29 254.3 (average weight from Monday to Monday)

After my lift today, I unlocked the 5 million pounds lifted badge! Pretty cool.

5 lbs down! 60 to go! #195by50

Hanging out at the University of Iowa for a football Saturday was fantastic! Loved spending the day with Amy, E, Paige, Alan and Lisa.

It was sure fun hanging with Ethan and Paige tonight in Iowa City! Can’t wait for tomorrow, Iowa vs Indiana at Kinnick Stadium and tailgating with our friends the Fisks.

Traveled to Iowa today to visit E. Missed the protein goal, was a bit over on calories.

Tomorrow will be tricky with tailgating. But that’s OK, because it’s the journey not the destination.

I didn’t want to go to the gym today. I did anyway. Fitness is not a destination, it’s a journey. #195by50

Another day of hitting my macro goals.

I have figured out a fiber hack: Aunt Millie’s 5 Seed Low Carb bread. It has 35 calories and 9g of fiber per slice.

Forgot to get a pic of lunch (it was tuna and not very pretty 😂).

Cardio day was walking 18 holes (5.8 miles and 1000 ft of elevation). #195by50

When you walk and play 18 holes of golf, you get a nice bit of exercise. Ditch the golf cart fam (unless you’re physically unable to play without it)! #195by50

Dinner was pizza and I still hit my goals. A little bit of planning goes a long way.

Lifting through the soreness is a wild experience. The endorphin rush hits a bit different. #195by50
