Marathon Weekend

Weekly Schedule

I've been a bit under the weather these past few days. Sorry for the lack in Four Hour Body posts and other info, but I'll get back to the soon. As a reminder, drugs are bad! But let's be honest, they've inspired some great music!

Join us for Friday's "4/20 Drug Tune Ride" (yeah, I know we're a few days late!). We'll finish up the ride with some hemp protein shakes, jello & ShroomTech samples!

The Four Hour Body -Week 8

Carb Overload, Again...
Every week cheat day comes along and we do the same thing, binge on carbs! This week was no different. Despite our pledges to do a "healthy cheat day" full of whole grains, quinoa, fruit, and sushi, we go straight for the sugar and white carbs.

We kicked off this last Saturday with some chocolate croissants from Trader Joe's. I was extra hungry coming back from an 11 mile run, so I also had a bowl of an organic Cheerio style cereal with coconut flakes, peanut butter, and chia seeds.

Kelly on the other hand supplemented her croissants with chocolate covered potato chips. Shortly after this splurge the effects of the sugar kicked in. I was immediately zapped of all my energy and hit with a headache. Kelly was worse and actually got so sick she was tossing cookies!

The Four Hour Body -Week 7

Noodle-less Pad Thai

Another Week of Awesome Results
We are happy to say that after week 7 of the 4-Hour Body diet plan, we're still feeling awesome. Kelly has got herself into some awesome new clothes and looks fantastic. I'm not looking to loose weight, but I will mention again how much better I feel not eating grains or sugars.

In fact, I can instantly tell a difference in my mood and energy on cheat day when I do hog out on carbs. Funny, event though I feel like crap after, I still seem to do it. We're actually looking to do more of a healthy cheat day this upcoming weekend. Stay tuned for more details on that menu.

This week its a shot blog post and meal log. Check out the recipe links as well for some awesome ideas!

Recipe: Noodle-less Chicken Pad Thai

We love Thai food! Since starting the 4-Hour Body diet plan, Kelly and I haven't had a chance to actually go get any Pad Thai on our cheat days. Luckily, her cousin found an awesome recipe in the "Against All Grain" paleo cook book (which is an awesome resource for anyone eating grain free). We've made a few modifications to the original. Here's our version.

Ingredients:

• 2 bags of shredded carrots (10oz ea.)
• Lot's of broccoli (I had like 6 stalks or 2 bundles from the grocery)
• 1+lbs Chicken Breast
• 2 heaping tablespoons of minced garlic
• 1/3 cup gluten free soy sauce
• 3 organic eggs
• 1/3 jar of Smuckers natural peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons of coconut oil

Recipe: Eggplant Pizza

Okay, this isn't the best picture of eggplant pizzas baking in my oven, but I promise you, they are delicious! This is a super easy recipe and you can use virtually any toppings that you would  typically put on a pizza. Here are the exact ingredients we used for last night's dinner, but we have put several other things on these in the past.

A quick note on pizza (and pasta sauces). Check the ingredients. You DO NOT need sugar in your sauces. Trust me, they are plenty sweet. Most jarred sauces will have sugar added (even the organic ones).
