Tuna, shrimp, and chicken

tarheelmatt · April 2015

Wife and I are trying to eat a better. Lets see how long this goes for the 10th time. Lol.

So after I shot a wedding today (for 5 hours), we cooked the below.

Harris Teeter had some tuna and shrimp on sale so we decided to get some of that. Roasted some broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots too. We also had a salad, but isn't pictured.

Shrimp seasoned with canola oil, Old Bay, more salt and fresh cracked peppers. While cooking added some homemade compound butter that included butter, salt, pepper, lemon zest, parsley, and fresh minced garlic. Very tasty!

Chicken was for the weekday dinner. Marinated in minced garlic, worcestershire, apple cider vinegar, EVOO, brown sugar, mustard.

Thanks for taking a look!

tarheelmatt · April 2015

Thanks @NPHuskerFL ! I am digging the videos and I am thinking of doing some video work possibly for cooking. Just thinking, so that means it will likely not happen. Lol.

@SGH , sorry buddy... However I did eat my entire plate and salad.

Haha... I doubt it. I am a yo-yo dieter.

Was talking to my gym rat buddy for years today at the wedding I photographed, he asked when was I getting back to lifting. Said, not sure... I cancelled my membership. He said, well get it back. Lol.. I need to get in there and do some cardio or something.

Had to think for a minute there. Nah, I haven't given the cauliflower rice a try yet, but probably will soon though.

Brother I worked out for years. I use to love it more than anything. Atlas, my old body just can't hold up to the heavy lifting anymore. I tried getting back into it a few months ago and me knees just shut down. Don't know if it's true, but doctors say that years of abusing Equipoise and Deca Durabolin wreaked havoc on my joints. The funny thing is, as long as I was doing it I was fine. The minute I stopped using it the problems began. Who really knows though. It is what it is. Since I can no longer lift large, I try to make up for it by eating large. On that note, I'm a way better at eating than I ever was at lifting

Thanks @johnmitchell ! Gotta go with baby steps right now in hopes to gain some benefits. It is difficult, especially with a little one and well, lets face it, I like to eat buddy. I'm a big boy and always have been. The struggle is real.

Thankfully, I never ran anything other than creatine, whey, amino acids, pre-workout stuff, and just eating clean. Had many people try to get me to over the years, but never could do it.
