A Typical Day

A typical day for me is, well, typical in the sense that it isn’t anything extra-ordinary but over time, seems to work well for me.  I usually start my day by getting up at 5AM (if I sleep past 6 I think it’s late) and have 1-2 cups of organic coffee with organic heavy whipping cream.   I make a shake consisting of organic coconut milk, organic berries and organic shredded coconut.  This will usually be breakfast for me during the morning in between training clients.  I sometimes will bring hard-boiled organic, omega-3 extra-large brown eggs to have for additional protein and fat.

Lunch is usually a few ounces of grass-fed cheese and a substantial amount of some type of protein source such as chicken, turkey or grass-fed meat and a couple of slices of bacon.  I then will have some fruit, some almonds and/or walnuts and a small square of 90% chocolate.  Depending on my schedule, I will have a small snack later of some more nuts or fruit and then it’s on to dinner.

Dinner for me is “feeding time at the zoo”.  I eat like it’s my last meal and I’m a blur at the table.  One of my favorite meals is sitting down to 2 or 3, 6 ounce grass-fed steakburgers from La Cense Beef.  Yes, I can eat over a pound of this delicious, nutritious meat and it is extremely satisfying and worth every penny.  I also will eat a few cups of veggies such as Brussel sprouts roasted with red onion and bacon, a mixed salad with extra virgin olive oil or maybe some broccoli or cauliflower and wash it down with a Redbridge or Bard’s brew.  Dessert has been organic berries mixed with organic whipping cream and coconut mil to make an ice cream/sorbet mix in my new Ninja blender.

On days that I strength train, I usually follow my session up with a drink of Endura and every day I walk a minimum of 10,000 steps, part of which includes my pal, Angel.
