Oh today. I can dig today. It's sunny. Breezy. I get to sit outside Panera and listen to jazz music on my lunch break contemplating life. Life is good :)

Today's post will mainly be about Tom's new diet plan. Woo hoo :D I have his diet based off of the paleo diet. It's also referred to as "the caveman diet". It's a nutritional plan based on the presumed ancient diet of wild plants and animals that various hominid species habitually consumed during the Paleolithic era—a period of about 2.5 million years which ended around 10,000 years ago with the development of Agriculture and grain-based diets. That means no grains. Now I know that grains are key in any balanced diet but for the initial weight loss in this journey, the high protein and vegetable diet is the best place to start. Building lean muscle and getting complex carbs from fruits and vegetables and healthy fats from nuts.

The first part of Tom's exercise plan will be a higher cardio to weight training ratio in the beginning. Just to get some of the excess weight gone and out of the way. He will still be doing some lifting though.

We used the eMeal app to plan out his dinners for the weeks in advance. It's so convenient! They provide the grocery list, the day's meals and how to prepare them. For breakfast and lunch Tom decided that he wants to juice. So that basically just leaves snacks for him to plan!

Today was leg day at the gym. Squats, squats, squats, leg extensions, abductor, adductor, calf raises, stair master and oh did I mention squats? Hopefully I can't walk tomorrow. Hopefully. Just kidding.. But really.

Well I'm off to enjoy the rest of my lunch and the weather to go along with it :) Have a swell day!
