Here we are on the 9th day of the second month.  Most of the New Years Resolutions have dissipated already and we are now seeing the folks that actually put the effort in.

My one and only goal was like the Nike commercial "Just Do It"  meaning no procrastination what so ever.  Get the hankering and get to cranking.

I've gotten so much accomplished this way in such a short amount of time.

We have instituted the "Meat and Nut Breakfast" as recommended by Charles Poloquin and I've been asked by a number of people if I'm leaning out for something?

No...just don't need to carry around unnecessary FAT.

It didn't take me anytime to adjust to the Meat and Nut breakfast.

"One of the other advantages of this system is that is reduces the development of food sensitivities which are known to increase cortisol in people. More than often enough, when we test first time clients for food sensitivities we find that they have antibodies to the food they have consumed on a daily for years. That is even more true in bodybuilders, as it not uncommon to see them have allergies to beef, eggs, whey, casein, tuna and oatmeal, the basic bodybuilding staples. What about eggs? That is the most often asked question when people read this article. Eggs is one the most common food intolerances, also they are digested too rapidly to sustain blood sugar for the first meal of the day. If tolerant to them, I like them for the solid meal workout that follows the post-workout shake." ~ Charles Poliquin

However, my son has only the smallest resistance to it.  But hey, you trade in your Captain Crunch for this and the knowing that you'll ooze AWESOME, you do it.  IMG_2185

Actually, this is just after he woke up to go to the gym at 0400.  He told me the only reason to get up (early) is because:

1. You have to pee

2. You're hungry

3. You need to kick some ass.
