Those peanut butter/oat protein balls from Drake Maye's wife have become a staple in my diet. I like them because I can make a batch and get 10-12 of them and they last a while. I grab one or two for the day, and have one on the way to work. At work I'll eat a banana or apple a couple hours later. For lunch I'll have something small like chicken and rice/beans, and have another ball or a meat stick a little later. Then dinner at home after 6. I usually work a 10 hour day so that leaves little time for prep. I'm leaving the house around 7am, getting home after 6pm.
The reason I put this here is that I had lost a lot of weight from not drinking beer/alcohol. But I leveled off after 6 months or so. So now that I'm more active and eating better/smaller portions, I've continued to drop lbs.
Being lighter, and feeling better overall I've begun stretching and some exercise as well. Mostly stretching on work days since my job is pretty physical anyway. And days off I'm doing that plus core strength stuff, planks, crunches, decline situps, standing knee lifts.. and training some with weights. I have a couple of benches in my basement. One for bench press and incline, and it has the leg attachment. Plus another mini bench that I use for situps and free weight stuff. Overall i'm down 41 lbs from last May, when I was 247, now this morning 206. My goal is at least 190 by June.
