An Opportunity of a Lifetime

I've been given the opportunity of a lifetime. I was selected to participate in a nationwide weight loss contest with the restaurant Genghis Grill. I have agreed to eat healthy options at Genghis Grill everyday for 90 consecutive days for a possibility of becoming the next "Jared". Weight loss, social media posting, and public votes will determine the winner. #ggHealthKwest

Country Music Marathon

The Country Music (Music City) Marathon kicks off bright and early tomorrow. I've been helping my wife with training advice and encouragement as she prepares for her first marathon. I will not be participating, as I'm focused on my own routine to prepare for the conclusion of the Genghis Grill Health Kwest. The last day is May 3rd, and weigh-in takes place on May 4th.

I won't be participating in the big Music City Marathon this year, but I will be joining several friends in the Cinco de Mayo 5K the following weekend, and I'm looking at other opportunities that will be taking place this summer, including both Nashville and Murfreesboro.This is all part of my personal Health Kwest and living a healthier lifestyle.

It's a great feeling to look back at pictures from last year and see such a huge difference. It's scary to see the side-by-side comparison! It's mostly due to proper nutrition and hard work and exercise. I'm only able to make it to Genghis Grill once a day during the week due to my work schedule and location, but on the weekends, I'm there at least twice. It's so easy to eat healthy and not have to worry about counting fat or calories.

Today's bowl was filled with tons of food: Marinated Fish (x2), with Cayenne, Cajun, and Crush Red Pepper, Celery, Green Beans, jalapenos, spinach, broccoli, garlic water (x2), and Dragon Sauce. All this food came to only 343.25 calories, 34.9g protein, 31.5g carbs, 8g fiber, 4g fat, 0g sat fat, 120mg cholesterol, and 839mg sodium. I also had 2.5 hours of cardio for over 2,100 calories burned.
