Steemfat 3 - Attempt six is officially underway - Grilled Chicken breast with sweet potato mash and asparagus.

in life •  6 years ago  (edited)

In about 2 months Bianca and I are going to Brazil.

It's been a long time coming.

I have not seen her family in over 2 years. (Bianca went alone last year).

When we booked it (in Dec 2017) I was afraid it might coincide with Steemfest 3, but now I expect Steemfest to be later than September so I feel less worried.

So instead of taking Steemfest 3 as my target to at-least try to get in shape I'll make it this Brazil trip.

It sort of makes sense.

The last time they saw me I must have been 25 kg lighter :)

I'm sticking with my plan that was working before we went to Mallorca.

Make sure there is something decent to eat in the house at any time.

Some prepared grilled chicken in a tupperware is part of that plan.

I bought around 12 breast (in bulk) today and prepared four that I will eat in the coming 3 days.

I sliced the chicken breast into thin pieces lengthwise and coated them in a nice rub.

When prepared it's easy to toss in a salad or on a whole grain wrap if you need some carbs.

Tonight I prepared it with some Asparagus, Sweet potato mash and a salad Bianca made.

It was nice.

Although I already can feel that it was not enough...

I will just have to get used to it :)

Going to the gym is easy for me and hopefully with better food i'll be seeing some results.

I'm not sure about about progress pictures this time though.

I pretty sure I'm bigger now than the the baseline photo of Steemfat 2...where I now think I look pretty decent!

lol...one wonders what happened :)

Anyway!

Steemfat 3 - attempt six is officially underway. :)

That is a beauty for a dish.
Glad you promote healthy habit

Way to go man! I know you can! At least you are enjoying your meals and the gym so to get rid of some fat must be a logical outcome!

Thanks, man.

When I think about your blogs I see a lot of beer mugs in your pictures.

😉
So it's not only about food.
But it's great to see you started a new campaign.
Good Luck!

Haha, last couple of days was holiday. I'll try my best.

That's true.
But it's easier to drink than to eat. Same goes for soda.
Once I started only drinking water and tea, I automatically lost weight.

Intermittent fasting is also a great method to lose weight.
You can still eat big meals but in a shorter time frame.

Great news, my friend, that you will go to Brazil and will be able to meet with relatives of Bianca, it is always great and most importantly you set yourself the goal of achieving a better physical form, where of course a balanced diet and a gym will do their thing. Your cooked chicken with asparagus, salad and mashed potatoes look great and sure that they are very tasty, well done! Thank you Mark.

The last time they saw me I must have been 25 kg lighter :)

lol You were really tiny. I’m actually having chicken today as well. Asparagus and sweet potatoes are my favorite foot as well. It’s all very healthy. Along with healthy food it would be nice if crypto started to rise again. Let’s hope it will happen before the steemfest 3.
BTW: what is Steemfat 😆?

Steemfat is my journey to get in shape for a Steemfest.

I think portion control is one of the biggest things about losing weight. There are so many times that we eat more than we really need. It isn't until you cut back and you realize that "wow, that filled me up". Getting past that mental wall about what is actually enough can be a huge step.

Your food looks great and very healthy too. grilling is always better than frying when it comes to calories. Keep eating like that and combined with the gym work and less beers, am sure the weight will fall off pretty fast :)

I need to lose a bit myself but I mostly gained due to the office job. Since that is gone i am moving a bit more again and even in Summer there is more sports and going to the lake.
I hope we both lose the kilos we want. I only have about 7 to go maximum, you apparently have a heavier target :-)

7 turns into 20 pretty fast :)

Sixth time lucky then @exyle! 😂

Dinner looked like a good start. If you're still hungry how about grabbing some fat free yoghurt and loads of fruit after dinner.

I always found having sliced carrots and melon in the fridge made good little snacks and hard boiled eggs if I felt I needed something more substantial.

Good luck with it. 😁

That's just it is so good to have a good partner....... Bianca is just treating you well all the time even when it comes to best recipes........

Brazil will definitely be another very great trip to you coz that's Bianca big country.... On the look to a lot from there once is time. Great and delicious.

But I made this...

It's great though but I want your reply that was why I came with that 😂

Certainly looks like a delicious plate!
You got this @exyle!

howdy @exyle! I thought ya'll just got back from Brazil. Well anyways, the grub looks wonderful and so healthy! wise choice.

Eating right with good and best choices of meat like chicken breast which is a good protein source plus vegetables and rice is an awesome way to get fit and healthy @exyle

Wow 2 years since you been to Brasil I would love to go so very lucky you! I know what you mean about being worried if it landed around the same time as Steemfest but I reckon it will be around November time again so you should be good, must of got a good price booking it so early @exyle wow.

Yeah, still not cheap though. But it's already paid for and that's a good feeling.

Looking to hear awesome news about your next Brazil trip with Bianca for meet her family. Sad news of you didn't see over 2 years. Brazil wanna deserve place for have fun.
Your food control level better for keep good healthy. Also gym activities must valuable. You're great chef in this platform. Delicious looks Asparagus, Sweet potato mash you cooked. Grilled chicken spicy with pepper.

Excellent a shared shares of our so beautiful posts I have been very good to follow you, each of my posts I follow and look important and try to learn something new to you. Thank you so much from my side of Sir. Sir much thank you from my side

Your food looks very light and delicious 😋

Brazil is a beautiful country
Truly delicious food I will certainly work like him
Thank you for the wonderful picture

My mouth is watering, it's an expression we use to say that something we would love to eat. For some time now, I've been in the vegetarian fast food and cream routine. Have a good appetite.

Very good recipe to eat so healthy without fat is the best. Good trip.

Very good food, grilled very healthy and nutritious and with the gym you will see excellent results. Good trip

Hey exyle hope your well, I made this photo for you to celebrate this day

In fact that also could not fill me but the idea is to lose weight! You'll have to compensate by drinking water, so that looks delicious :)

Now that's perfect food to eat for the day simply superb :D

You will loose weight, eventually...
You are motivated, and that is what most required...
Good Day.

@exyle That meal looks delicious! I know the hunger pains will go away and your portion control will help with that in the long run. Just stick to it! I know you can do it! :) And it is good to see healthy food being prepared!

Yummmmm. Its quite brilliant dish. Eating them at the ordinary times is awesome. This grilled chicken is great. The ingredients are quite simple and the recipe outstanding. Indeed it would water anyone's mouth. Lovely presentation. U can cook good @exyle. Its a quality not all men possess.

Dinner looks really good to me! Good plan with the chicken. Staying on any diet is difficult. I think the best way to look at it is that it is not a diet, it's just eating healthier. When you change the way you eat, I think some little bell goes off in your head that says your stomach would like more food...

omggggg mouthwatering this time exyle 😍😍
