Hi guys! Here is the additional info on the diet and exercise plan I will be following:

www.LeanMeals.com
Alternative meal plan:
I used to do Paleo which I felt was reasonable and I saw results with it. Find out more about the Paleo diet here.

Bradley's Meal Plan:
MEAL PLAN

MEAL 1: 4 egg whites + 1 whole “free range egg” OR 1 cup of greek yogurt.

*1/2cup of blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, or a mixture. I prefer blueberries as they contain more beneficial antioxidants and health benefits than the rest.

*1 serving Udo’s oil (liquid or gelcap). Udo’s oil contains all of the essential fats from good sources. Essential meaning we have to get them in the diet. We can’t make these from other foods. Having all the essential fats not only improves health but makes fat loss and muscle recovery easier.

+Free Range eggs are from chickens with a healthier diet. The yolk contains most of the nutrition and the yolks from free range eggs are far more nutritious than regular eggs from chickens on a select diet.
Macros: P: 25 C: 10 F: 15

MEAL 2: 1/2 cup cooked Jasmine rice + 4oz chicken or turkey.

*1 Tbsp Macadamia nut oil.

*2 capsules of cinnamon as a supplement. Cinnamon helps the muscle cell soak up glucose better. This means more of the carbs that we eat become easier to store in the muscle instead of being converted and stored as fat.
Macros: P: 25 C: 25 F: 12

MEAL 3: 4oz salmon + ½ cup cooked jasmine rice with 1-cup broccoli, spinach, or asparagus.
*Look into the different balsamic vinegars and seasonings to put on the veggies.
*2g CLA. CLA is one of the most effective natural fat burners.
Macros: P: 25 C: 25 F: 15

MEAL 4: 1 cup boiled yams + 6oz tilapia or cod.
1 small salad (leafy greens like spinach or arugula) + 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar.
*Look into the infused olive oils for a variety of flavors. I like the Bragg Brand of extra virgin olive oil but they don’t make any infused. They are the highest quality but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a quality infused one. Don’t buy cheap oils! Good sources will come packed with all the micronutrition we are looking for. Cheap stuff is cheap for a reason.
Macros: P: 30 C: 40 F: 15

SNACK OPTIONS: Greek yogurt, quest bars, krave turkey jerky, mixed nuts or nut butter (almonds, walnuts, macadamia nuts preferred).

PRE WORKOUT: 1000mg L-carnitine-l-tartrate + 1 capsule green tea extract + 250-500mg raspberry ketones (start with 250mg some people get energy with this).
You may also add in 100-200mg caffeine or a cup of coffee or tea. DO NOT use cream that contains fat or sugar, do not add sugar.

POST WORKOUT: 25g whey isolate or hydrolysate + 10g Trans Alanyl Glutamine mixed in the same shake.
Macronutrient Breakdown: (roughly)
Protein: 130
Carbohydrates: 100
Fat: 60
Calories: 1475

*** Know that the macros are the most important thing to follow. If you want to switch up the foods this is fine so long as your total macros and calories on the day fit! You can use My Fitness Pal to track your foods and know how many you have consumed. I would prefer that you do your best to keep the fats that I have listed in the meals I have listed them in. The type of fat will make a difference. Protein and carb sources can vary. Just know that different protein sources will also come with different amounts of fat too.

JUMP ROPE: Start with 30 seconds of consistent jumping rope with 30 seconds rest. Do this for 10 minutes. As you progress you can jump rope for longer (45 secs) and rest for less (15 secs). We want to work up to being able to jump rope consistently for several minutes at a time without needing a break!

DAY 4 REST/CARDIO
This day you can rest or do cardio. This would be a perfect day to go for a run if you enjoy running. Day 5 is mandatory rest to allow for recovery. Feel free to toss in core/ab work whenever and wherever you see fit. These exercises will target the core but more is not a bad thing if you feel it’s necessary.

Hey guys! I haven't blogged in a while, and I just re-did my room so I thought this would be a good time to do a blog post!

Let me start off by saying I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to interior design. This whole thing is a lot of fun, but I kind of just guessed what would look nice together and also doubted every decision I made every step of the way (typical).

All of the furniture is from Z Gallerie here in LA, took me forever to finally get all the pieces, but when I did there was still something throwing off the whole design.. then I realized it was those yellow walls! So I got the idea to paint the walls white and add some wallpaper to spruce up the place!

Yeah.. the yellow walls were not working!

Wallpaper Time....

Adding paint/wallpaper is the quickest, most cost effective way to dress up your space... Or so they say. I found these awesome wallpaper "decals" from Target! They're basically just stickers that you peel on and off and they won't damage the paint underneath, which is great if you're renting (like me).

The directions say it's best to use them on a semi-gloss or an egg shell finish paint, so I painted this accent wall with a semi-gloss and the rest with a flat paint. I was so impatient that I actually did the whole wall myself in about 3 or 4 hours, I was in mad scientist- Martha Stuart mode.

You're supposed to measure each piece and line up the designs first, then apply them to the wall, but even as crafty as I am, I knew I wouldn't be able to cut a straight line. So I gave myself a little slack on both ends and lined up the design as I stuck it on the wall. Also, I peeled off the backing as I went down the wall. When I would accidentally peel too much off, it would stick to itself and turn into a nightmare, this stuff is suuuuper sticky, I almost cried a few times. Not really, but yeah. Once it was all on there I used an exacto knife to trim all the edges and I was done!

You can find the wallpaper here. I used a wallpaper calculator to see how many rolls I needed.

I might change the wallpaper for something lighter in a few months, who knows, for now I like it though. And my favorite thing about my room is my books and the orchids. If you take good care of them they last a long time! I've had the pink one on my nightstand for over a month now! Fresh flowers are definitely a must :)

I think the only thing my room is missing is maybe an area rug, but I'm hesitant to put one in because then I won't be able to slide my furniture around to dust and what not. Chrisspy is not big on commitment.. to area rugs or permanent wallpaper hehe.

I think that's all I have to say for now! Excuse any typos ;) Leave me your questions below and I'll be checking back to answer any of them!

xoxo,

Chrisspy
