Another strong Saturday / Egg KurtMuffins

As I mentioned, I had a short day at the gym yesterday. I got there  at quarter to 2, took my time warming up and got a full body stretch in before leaving, and I was still out of there by 2:30. The work period was 16 minutes on the rower. Hell of a workout. I improved my distance from 3600 two weeks ago to 3949. I'ma hit 4k next time!

3:30PM - 6 oz. wild Pacific salmon brushed with lemon juice and spices, broccoli steamed with herb butter
6:15PM: 1 chicken breast and 4 whole eggs cooked in coconut oil, more steamed broccoli with salsa
9:00PM: Raw spinach, 1/2 lb. ground beef, 1 small avocado and salsa

I feel like I'm finally hitting the stride I'd hoped for when starting this program - better late than never, I guess! No booze again this weekend and the high fat/protein meals were delicious and satiating enough to keep me from cheating (I also gave up peanut butter for "lent" and purposely left almond butter off the shopping list!)! It's now 4PM on Sunday and I have yet to break the fast, though I plan on it as soon as I'm done here.

I've been making extra meals for my family in effort to keep them away from grains and other processed shit. I know they will ultimately make their own decisions, but I can help them by making real food that's hot and ready. Last night I made beef and turkey meatballs in the crockpot with uncured bacon, and this morning, in addition to an apple-pepper hash that got average reviews, I whipped up a batch of "muffins":

I'm pretty proud of 'em so I'll share the recipe:

• Preheat oven to 350
• Chop and fry an ample amount of breakfast meat to about 2/3 to your liking - I used both pork and turkey bacon
• Beat eggs thoroughly and add any veggies you like - I used one large egg per muffin, but you may end up with more if you use lots of veggies...try 10 eggs per dozen muffins
• Fill lightly greased (coconut oil/olive oil/butter) muffin tins about 2/3 of the way 
• Ration meat and sprinkle a high quality cheese on top if you must
• Bake for 20 minutes
• "Frost" with mashed avocado and salsa (or Greek yogurt, perhaps???)

For you turds that are still adamant about eating breakfast, perhaps this can save you some time in the morning. You can make a whole batch on the weekend, refrigerate, and pop a couple in the microwave while you're rushing around before work. You've got plenty of time this afternoon, and it sure beats Cocoa Puffs!
