Day 14 - Review

How do I Feel?


Today was a bit of a struggle.  I managed to make it through the day but wasn't as easy as some days.  Read more below. 

Meals for Today:


Breakfast - Coconut Flour Pancakes




I went in a different direction this morning and searched the internet for a Paleo-friendly pancake recipe.  The Paleo in 28 book called for Perfect Pancakes again.  This recipe didn't work well the last time so I found a Coconut Flour Pancakes recipe at this link. These pancakes didn't turn out to be too bad.  I had trouble with the coconut oil getting solidified during the mixing process but otherwise enjoyed these.  I need to get some pure maple syrup to go along with them next time.  These, I'd do again. 


Lunch - Leftover Meatloaf with Marinara Sauce



This was another attempt to get rid of leftovers.  I heated up a little marinara sauce to go over the meat loaf which made it REALLY good.  I actually liked this better than the original. 

Dinner - Paleo "Chick-Fil-A"




I discovered this recipe while searching for Paleo pancakes recipes this morning.  It looked good, so we gave it a try.  I found this recipe linked on a website called Stupid Easy Paleo.  The actual recipe can be found at this link. Overall, it was pretty tasty.  One we'll definitely do again in the future.  I also mixed up a Honey Dijon dipping sauce from a recipe in the Paleo in 28 book. It had a little funny after-taste so I may not go back to that well.  Overall, it was a pretty good meal. 

Snacks:


  • banana
  • manderina
  • dark chocolate squares

Exercise for Today:


  • Completed 15 push-ups
  • Completed 15 sit-ups
  • "Planked: for 60 seconds
  • Walked 11,805 steps as of 8:00 PM.  I walked 2.47 miles this evening to get to this spot. 

Daily Summary:


I struggled again today with the munchies.  I really had cravings for something sweet.  When I went to the grocery store, I ended up buying some 72 percent dark chocolate.  This helped a bit, but it was tough most of the day.

Stats for Today:


I lost another pound at my morning weigh in bringing my overall weight loss in the last two weeks to 7.2 pounds.  That is 71.9 percent towards achieving the monthly goal of 10 pounds and 17.98 percent towards achieving the yearly goal of 40 pounds of weight loss. I also lost another 1/2 inch at my weekly waste line check. That makes for an inch and a half reduction in two weeks.  It's a good start, but I think I might see a slide at tomorrow's weigh in!  
Location: Lynchburg, TN, USA

Corregidor Island, Manila Bay, Philippines

Last March, we took a trip back to the Philippines so my wife could visit her family.  It's been a couple of years since we've had the chance to see them and they hadn't had an opportunity to meet Zachary.  The wife's family lives in a suburb of Manila called Taguig City.  So while on the trip, I took a couple of days to slip away and visit Corregidor Island in Manila Bay. Before we get into the trip, let's look a little at the history of the island.

Jack Daniel Distillery - Lynchburg, TN

This may be an obvious post, given that we live in Lynchburg, but the Jack Daniel Distillery is a neat place to visit.  Holding the distinction as the oldest registered distillery in the United States, is the location where every drop of Jack Daniel whiskey is produced.  The history of the distillery is interesting as well, as Jack Daniel was an actual historic person.  Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel was born in 1850.  The exact date of his birth is in some dispute. Jack was one of 13 children born to his father Calaway Daniel.  His mother Lucinda Cook Daniel bore 10 of those children prior to her death. Calaway Daniel remarried, but apparently Jack did not like his step-mother.  After his father's death in the Civil War, Jack ran away from home at the age of 7.
