Day 5

I was tired of eating yesterday, so I'm happy to be back to an strict day. 

Scoop of protein first thing in the morning. 

Another 2 hours later

Morning high intensity interval cardio.. I'm still on the road,  so this morning it's burpees in a Tabata protocol....  4 minutes of pure brutality.

A scoop of protein and and apple immediately following. 

It was a nice day so we went over to the coast to catch a few minutes of the professional surfing  tournament in Santa Cruz. We parked about a mile and a half away, so that made for a nice 20 minute walk each way.... that made up my afternoon exercise. 

Downtown for a late lunch at a favorite cafe.  Here was another moment that I felt the chink in my superhero armor.   I was hungry and this place makes incredible baked goods and serves breakfast all day.  I stuck it out and ordered a salad.  Mixed organic greens, sliced fresh veggies and grilled chicken with no dressing.  Turned out that I enjoyed the salad and was surprisingly satisfied in addition to feeling like I won another battle against my will that wants to keep that extra layer of fat. 

Back home for dinner.   I steamed up some cauliflower and broccoli and ate that with a little left over pork loin. 

I went to bed feeling a little hungry, but I took that as a sign that my body was getting ready to feast on the fat around my midsection.

This is starting to be fun.

Great blog, Travis. I'm still going through a bit of the "iron will" myself with alcohol and with every time I go shopping at Marina Market or Podesto's! I went shopping while hungry (mistake!) but somehow still managed to only buy healthy items. The inside of my fridge sure looks different these days! I can see the little light now. =:^) ...Scott C.
