Does The Mediterranean Diet Really 'Reverse' Metabolic Syndrome?Six hours of sleep, followed by two hours of drowsing while listening to podcasts. Seventy-six degrees in mid-October.
Morning plank. Ten minutes on the Air Walk Trainer first thing in the morning to burn off glycogen. Eighty-two degrees today.
I'm looking into BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acid) powder to see if it will help with gaining muscle mass. I got a free Kindle, "Healthy Shrimp Recipes," but the recipes have semi-exotic ingredients I don't have. Any recipe with over half a dozen ingredients and my eyes glaze over.
Today is an up day on the Alternate-Day Diet (eat all I want) because I'm working finishing the chili. Eventually, I plan to buy glass freezer containers so I won't have to eat it all in several days. I hope to use my crock pot intensively, but I wish I had gotten a larger one. Between the beans, TVP, and tomatoes, there's not much room for anything else. Added textured vegetable protein to bump up my daily protein numbers. I still have a container of TVP left. Once I eat that, I'm switching to textured soy protein because TVP is processed with hexane.
Yesterday was the first day I dropped Lifehacker and online bargain hunting from my routine. I was able to use the time to make a little progress towards de-cluttering the bedroom and the home office.
Haven't heard from the mouse that made the annual fall migration. I assume one of the traps got them.
Cardio: 1 1/2 hours on the Air Walk Trainer. Steps: 790 (SmartHealth Pedometer).
Since I haven't been doing strength training, I decided to go from 51 minutes of cardio on the Air Walk Trainer to a full hour.
I also do five minutes every hour to ward off the effect of sitting. Relaxation: 20-minute nap.
