Thurs., 2/12
Breakfast/Brunch 12 oz. Protein shake Lg. Garden salad with 5 oz. grilled chicken (Val), 6 oz. grilled chicken (Alden) topped with 1/2 hard-boiled egg, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and avocado Paleo dressing 2 eggs (Alden)
Snack handful nuts 12 oz. Protein Shake 8 oz. hot tea (Val)
Dinner 1 1/2 c. Butternut Squash with cinnamon 2 boneless chicken backs 2 chicken legs 1 tbl spoon Almond Butter
Water throughout day.
We are still finding our energy levels increase through the day which have almost eliminated that "nap feeling". Alden mentioned his sweet tooth cravings are gone and still feeling his skin tightening up. His stomach is feeling great and seems to have an understanding of his body and which foods trigger certain behaviors.
I am still struggling with expanding my appetite. I was pleased with the amount of food (specifically protein) on Wednesday, but really did not have much of an appetite yesterday almost to the point of force-feeding myself to maintain amounts. This has always been a trend with my body, so I am hoping I can retrain my eating habits and feel an every day hunger.
Thank you, Wendy!
Enjoy the weekend,
Alden and Val

You hardly had any carbs yesterday. I don't know what it's like to feel like you are force-feeding yourself I would say just try to stay consistent and I am sure your appetite will eventually pick up and remain. It just takes time and these are new habits.

You will probably be less hungry the days you don't work out, too. Yesterday looked light, too.

When possible (like on your days off from the Brewery), opt for "real food" before the shakes. Great work overall!

We will definitely choose the "real food" over protein shakes on our days away from the brewery. Thank you for the guidance.
