Steemfat 3 - Attempt six is officially underway - Grilled Chicken breast with sweet potato mash and asparagus.
In about 2 months Bianca and I are going to Brazil.
It's been a long time coming.
I have not seen her family in over 2 years. (Bianca went alone last year).
When we booked it (in Dec 2017) I was afraid it might coincide with Steemfest 3, but now I expect Steemfest to be later than September so I feel less worried.
So instead of taking Steemfest 3 as my target to at-least try to get in shape I'll make it this Brazil trip.
It sort of makes sense.
The last time they saw me I must have been 25 kg lighter :)
I'm sticking with my plan that was working before we went to Mallorca.
Make sure there is something decent to eat in the house at any time.
Some prepared grilled chicken in a tupperware is part of that plan.
I bought around 12 breast (in bulk) today and prepared four that I will eat in the coming 3 days.
I sliced the chicken breast into thin pieces lengthwise and coated them in a nice rub.
When prepared it's easy to toss in a salad or on a whole grain wrap if you need some carbs.
Tonight I prepared it with some Asparagus, Sweet potato mash and a salad Bianca made.
It was nice.
Although I already can feel that it was not enough...
I will just have to get used to it :)
Going to the gym is easy for me and hopefully with better food i'll be seeing some results.
I'm not sure about about progress pictures this time though.
I pretty sure I'm bigger now than the the baseline photo of Steemfat 2...where I now think I look pretty decent!
lol...one wonders what happened :)
Anyway!
Steemfat 3 - attempt six is officially underway. :)

That is a beauty for a dish.
Glad you promote healthy habit
and great way to stay in shape by eating healthy.
Way to go man! I know you can! At least you are enjoying your meals and the gym so to get rid of some fat must be a logical outcome!
Thanks, man.
"Going to the gym is easy for me and hopefully with better food i'll be seeing some results."
When I think about your blogs I see a lot of beer mugs in your pictures.

😉
So it's not only about food.
But it's great to see you started a new campaign.
Good Luck!
Haha, last couple of days was holiday. I'll try my best.
That's true.
But it's easier to drink than to eat. Same goes for soda.
Once I started only drinking water and tea, I automatically lost weight.
Intermittent fasting is also a great method to lose weight.
You can still eat big meals but in a shorter time frame.
Great news, my friend, that you will go to Brazil and will be able to meet with relatives of Bianca, it is always great and most importantly you set yourself the goal of achieving a better physical form, where of course a balanced diet and a gym will do their thing. Your cooked chicken with asparagus, salad and mashed potatoes look great and sure that they are very tasty, well done! Thank you Mark.
lol You were really tiny. I’m actually having chicken today as well. Asparagus and sweet potatoes are my favorite foot as well. It’s all very healthy. Along with healthy food it would be nice if crypto started to rise again. Let’s hope it will happen before the steemfest 3.
BTW: what is Steemfat 😆?
Steemfat is my journey to get in shape for a Steemfest.
I think portion control is one of the biggest things about losing weight. There are so many times that we eat more than we really need. It isn't until you cut back and you realize that "wow, that filled me up". Getting past that mental wall about what is actually enough can be a huge step.
Certainly looks like a delicious plate!
You got this @exyle!
That's just it is so good to have a good partner....... Bianca is just treating you well all the time even when it comes to best recipes........
But I made this...
It's great though but I want your reply that was why I came with that 😂
Sixth time lucky then @exyle! 😂
Dinner looked like a good start. If you're still hungry how about grabbing some fat free yoghurt and loads of fruit after dinner.
I always found having sliced carrots and melon in the fridge made good little snacks and hard boiled eggs if I felt I needed something more substantial.
Good luck with it. 😁
howdy @exyle! I thought ya'll just got back from Brazil. Well anyways, the grub looks wonderful and so healthy! wise choice.
