Day 9 -- Gettin' Figgy with It

HOLY MOLY, but the week 2 PCP plan has me eating A LOT of food!
I mean, WOW!

I'm sure that I'm feeding growing muscles, but last night's dinner was giiii-normous! Looking forward to hearing more from Patrick on the volume of this diet.


Anyhoo. Given the amount of fruits and veggies (have I mentioned that it's A-friggin'-LOT?!) I'm eating this week, I'm trying to broaden my usual range and explore new produce. Luckily, I've got a natural foods market right down the street where I found figs on sale. Never had a fig before, and these were fresh, organic, slightly sweet, and delish!

That aside, the workouts are going well -- all except for those incline pull-ups. Sheesh. My push-ups have improved, but those damn pull-ups may take some time. We'll see how tomorrow's set feels...

Hope everyone is having a good Weds., and Happy Autumn!
Where did the Summer go?

  1. Your body will get used to the amounts of food in the next week or two. Go check any PCPers blog around day 8 and you'll see almost the exact same shock and awe at the amount of food. Welcome to your new life!

  2. Figs—what a wonderful idea! Ooh, I bet they're delicious if you bake them for just a few minutes, too. Incidentally, incline pull-ups were a comedy of errors in my house...so you're not alone!

  3. Mmmm, figs sound nice!

    In England we missed Autumn this year and have jumped straight from summer to winter :(

  4. When I first started I forgot to weigh my spaghetti when it was wet so for one of my first meals I ate like a freaken pound of pasta. Mmmmm figs! Keep up good work!

  5. Yeah -- incline pull-ups. I'm still not the best at the whole pull-up thing. But I keep trying. You're doing just fine!
