I finally used my kimchi with a non-fish dish.
Quinoa, chicken, kimchi, sriracha, and avocado bowl. 332 cals; 25g protein, 36g carbs, and 8g fat.
And I toasted the quinoa first.
Decent.

I normally have matcha proats for post-workout breakfast (matcha, protein powder, oats, walnuts, and hemp hearts), but today I tried out golden proats (subbing turmeric paste in for the matcha).
A+++ would recommend

I set a new fastest 5K time of 00:28:40 with my #AppleWatch.
Finally got out there again. A bit chilly at first with the temp around 32° F and some flurries, but definitely warmed up.

I got new weights yesterday, 35 and 40 lb dumbbells, and I’m clapping and wooing during my workouts again. Noice.

Although, this was probably one of the worst placements of a roll of paper towels in the bathroom that I’ve seen in a long time. This was at Hy-Vee.
I, uh, air-dried.

Today, I started the Apple Fitness+ “3 Perfect Weeks of Strength” program, and core + spin afterward.
Looking forward to a progressive build program. I’m hopeful it will increase from today’s burn.
Not looking forward to a couple of the rotating trainers. 🤷♂️

Every new year I think about that old Five Star Notebook commercial. Y’all remember that? “This year’s going to be different.”

Sooo starting off this year with a workout, keeping the fitness journey going! Happy New Year!

2024 was my year of health & fitness (+ learning to whistle, but that’s beside the point)
I compiled my data for the year, including weight, calories consumed, and macro splits. It’s pretty interesting! Super happy with the results (and Excel graphs)

Ok, so why did Billy have to go breaking a second pane of glass at the store instead of just going through the already-broken one?
Who’s the gremlin now, Billy?

Back to this thought..
We took a cash-saving route to Key West -- flying Cedar Rapids to FLL (perfect time to watch Fast X). Then, Tri-Rail to MIA, and a hotel shuttle from there.
The Allegiant flight: smooth. La Granja dinner: delicious.
The next morning, we bussed to Key West.

After 2.5 years of living in this house, I learned that our dishwasher has an adjustable top rack.
I only learned this because I had to replace the top rack slide wheel hardware.
Feeling proud and stupid at the same time!

This is what a no-holds-barred vacation + Christmas can do to a guy’s weight hahaha
Up almost 7 pounds in 2 weeks. But what’s life if you don’t enjoy it, eh?
Now let’s use up some of those carbs and sugars!

We’re back from Key West — first time there — and are settling back in.
‘Twas a great trip, with great weather, friendly folks, and wonderful food.
I’ll elaborate on it in the coming days, but for now I’ll leave these quick highlights.
