Where Work and Passions overlap

Recipes

Back on Track with Musubi and a protein focus My post workout @questnutrition overloaded bar kick-started me back into my food routine. Lunch followed up the bar and was some @realgoodfoods chicken tenders with a drizzle of @kindersflavors buttery buffalo. Dinner was some gochujang @spambrand spam musubi with sauteed broccoli on the side. I marinated the spam in @trybachans and brushed the rice with just a touch more of the sauce for maximum flavor. I got my workout in and hit my steps goal for the day both helping me get back on track. Sleep score is getting back on track as well. #focused #protein #backonthatgrind

Time to put my workouts on overload! After a week away celebrating turning 40 it’s time to get my workouts and nutrition back on track. I got my 4 miles of walking and 45 minutes workout done then, thanks to the NEW Quest Overload Bars I can hit my protein macros and enjoy a post workout treat! You know I am a @questnutrition bar fan and have one pretty much daily…well the new bars are packed with even more cookie chunks and chocolate coated.I picked up a box on Amazon but I hear they are coming to target shortly. What’s your favorite quest bar flavor and have you tried these new ones yet? #QuestOverloadBars #QuestSquad #OnAQuest #QuestPartner

Sheet pan dinners and selfies Dinner was a sheet pan meal of Brussels, zucchini and asparagus tossed in @neilsarap dayum seasoning. On a separate pan was sliced onions and @amylufoods cranberry and jalapeno meatballs. Both cooked in the convection oven at 375 for about 20 minutes. Served over a tiny bit of rice and drizzled with hot sauces and @trybachans for a bit of sweet and spicy. Dessert was a @builtbar Lunch, if I can call it that, was an array of snacks. Protein pretzels, biltong, @questnutrition peanut butter cups, and two jerky sticks. This also includes my last progress photo of my 30s and I am happy to see some definition! Sure, lighting helps. But I’ll take it! I appreciate my BBQ accountability group for their support and encouragement this year. Special shout out to @scaleandtailor for starting the group and bringing together some awesome people. I have posted everything I am eating and drinking through now. I am off on some vacation and may be a little MIA in posting everything while I off! #fitnessprogress #abswasthegoal #sheetpandinner #meatballs #mirrorselfie #snacksforlunch #accountability #dedication

Errands and a San Diego wave game with some great food too! Started the day with a leftover sourdough discard waffle, toasted it in the toaster oven and topped again with Greek yogurt and blackberries. With this was a dirty chai latte, which was so good. Stash chai tea with a shot of espresso and a bit of half and half. Dinner was going to be the steak and broccoli but we got invited to join friends at the wave game and so we moved dinner plans to lunch. @bearmountainbbq pecan grilled steak seasoned in @neilsarap tasty bark. The broccoli was tossed in olive oil and some @boarsnightout While the lunch was cooking I had some pretzel chips with an onion dip. Dinner was a carne asada burrito and I had a few beers at the game. So sleep score suffered again last night. It’s amazing to see the impact on hrv from alcohol, and as a result training readiness and body battery. #steakdinner #steaklunch #beefandbroccoli #bearmountainbbq #waffletime

Soft scrambled eggs, smoked salmon dip and Quest crackers I used the @questnutrition cheddar cheese crackers for some texture among an otherwise softer lunch plate. The @bearmountainbbq pecan smoke really shined through after the dip had a few days in the fridge. Afternoon snacks were are @thinkjerky jalapeno beef stick and a @questnutrition protein bar. I went out for dinner with friends at @ballastpointsandiego and had two different nitro stout beers, an order of chicken wings and a Cobb salad ( no photo) as well as some of the fries shared for the table. My thought going in was limit beers to 3 and I was successful in doing that, so happy with sticking to a plan. #lifebalance #fooddiary #foodblog #bearmountainbbq #scrambledeggs

Green eggs and ham or deviled eggs and spam? Dinner was music and deviled eggs with a side of sauteed zucchini. I marinated the gochujang spam in @trybachans for the sweet and spicy flavor profile. I also had my wife’s leftover chicken breast topped with spinach dip. Lunch was a repeat this week with the second bag of @yourtaylorfarms salad topped with thin sliced @bearmountainbbq pecan smoked tri tip. My morning snack was the protein shake and dessert was the @questnutrition peanut butter cups. #proteinfocus #fitmeals #eatinghealthy#bearmountainbbq #OnAQuest #spamandeggs #musubi
