Preparing for Photo Shoot August 29

I have been weight training with Vicky D. Fitness, she is around the corner from me and works out of her garage, since April 15 2020 3 times a week.

I started August 3rd, weighing 134 lbs. , at August 15 I am down to 124 pounds, I can dead lift 105 lbs with repetition.

I have been on a restricted diet as of August 3rd, 2020.

I eat as many potato servings as a want a day, with a Topping.  Usually, this is 3 times a day unless I substitute a serving of tomato/cucumber with vinegar.  On weight training days I eat 2 boiled egg whites.  I eat 2 prunes a day.

I eat these with >2 tablespoons of Tomato paste.  Calories 30.  Fat 0g, sodium 20mg, Carb 6g (2g of that is fiber)

 

 

 

I drink coffee with maple syrup and soy milk, green tea with gingsing (homebrew), bone broth fat 0 g/sodium 310-330mg/Carb 0g, Protein 10g

Sometimes for dinner I eat as many small peeled carrots as I want and a cup of Bone broth.  It is very satisfying.

Update:

It is Friday August 25th.  I weigh 119.6 lbs. .  Some of my strength has been sacrificed by keeping to this diet.  I am still strong, toned.  This last week, I have been very tired in the afternoon, and take a nap after weight lifting sessions.  I look really good though, and I am most pleased.  I think I will be very close to 118 lbs by tomorrow, and that would be super.

 

I am really excited to see how this works out, how this translates into photos with Perry.
