Cleaning the Ol’ Pipes

There’s this great book, “Organizing from the Inside Out”.

Well, a week ago, I decided I needed to clean from the Inside Out.

It’s been a slow process to get motivated to do it because it scares me.

Plan A.  Vegetable Protein.

Yuck.

Ew.

Plan B.  Juicing

Plan C.  Fast

 

So, I am currently on Plan A, I have been for 10 days.

I have dropped 4 pounds of fat, don’t think, any muscle.

And switched 2 cups of coffee for Green Tea.

How’s it been going?

Well, let’s see, my 1st epic ride, I was hallucinating.  That can’t be good.  I had some electrolytes, realizing I may actually be a little hyponatremic, and well, more icky plant food.  JK by the way.

So I am eating some animal protein.

I am still eating my 4 eggs in the morning.

Let’s see the 1st time I had ice cream after a week of being ‘sober’ I had so much mucous running down my throat I was hacking a lung out at night that kept me up for an hour.

Then, when I rode on Sunday I had the cold chills for an hour after my ride.  This may have had something to do the losing 4 pounds of visceral fat, I thought I was amply dressed for 50 degrees; my favorite temperature, but the moisture, may have fooled me.

I had about a cup of lean grass fed ground beef last week.

And this week, I had about 4 ounces of grass fed filet.

Last night, I had 4 ounces of salmon.

But most of my meals have looked like this:

Breakfast:

4 eggs

4 cups fruit.

Snack: 1 cup almonds/Cashews, right now the raw variety

Lunch:

1/2 cup Quinoa

1/4 cup Lentils

2 TBSP Hummus

and 2 servings of vegetables.

Dinner much of the same as lunch,

and trying to avoid the cocoa because that is cured with fungus apparently.

I just logged my calories, and I am already at 2000 and I have not eaten afternoon snack or dinner yet.  I’m at 80g of protein, and more carbs then I am used to.

I’m trying to perfect my health.

As healthy as I am, my health isn’t necessarily as good as it should be.  Some of that is the Celiac’s disease, and some of it is the Sulfur allergy.

So I am running another science experiment on cleaning out the ol’ pipes and see if that helps.

I am running Plan A for the rest of the week.

I did end up fueling for my Epic Ride a little differently.  The way I usually do, my rides during lunch, with some sort of animal protein.

I brought some filet.  I did not want to hallucinate, or shake from starvation.

It served me very well.

My Quarq died, but my effort remained constant for 5 hours.

I had 2 very nice sit down breaks.  One lunch and half of an espresso, and one snack, and  the rest of my espresso.

I did have to go by HR on the last 3 hours, but I think, I did a pretty damn good job.

 

3500 feet in climbing and some change.

It was a good ride.

I can’t wait for next week!!
