One week today!

So today is one full week without meat. Its been good. Fathers day my mom and dad came down for a small cookout. I made everyone hamburgers and hot dogs. I made myself two veggie burgers and had some veggies and pasta for sides. I can say I was tempted to grab a burger or hot dog but I was able to hold back.

My workouts are about the same. Saturday me and my wife Tami biked 19 miles, then before my parents came over Sunday we ran 6 miles, Monday I biked 21 miles and then this morning we ran another 4 miles.

I am keeping my calories about the same occasionally going slightly over from making new recipes and testing foods. My weight is dropping slightly for now. My goal is to drop another 15 - 20 pounds. while maintaining a minimum of .5 grams of protein per pound of lean mass. I am trying to consume between 120 - 140 grams of protein per day.

going to relax today and keep trying new recipes. Last night I made spinach and cheese stuffed empanada's. I made bean burgers this morning with garbanzo beans. I have black beans cooking now for my next attempt at a burger. I am also going to try a lentil meatloaf.
