A little over a week ago a friend brought me four Chinese mantids (the proper plural term for mantis) after an ootheca (egg sac) hatched in her home. This is a larger species of mantis, but as newborns

I spend a minimum of eight hours a day on the road. Naturally, this is an obstacle when you're being very strict in your diet and trying to eat lean. In order to combat this, I have to have things in my

I've been on a bit of an art hiatus, and by hiatus I mean 16 years. There was a bit of a death in the family that created a block for me, and prior to that, I was quite the drawer. That being said, my

After a couple months hiatus from Steemit, I am back. My new job is slightly rushed in the mornings, so I'm not getting much time to cook my usual egg white breakfast with fruit, but that's ok, as long

I made a friend. This is a Chinese mantis. It's not native to my home state, but they were accidentally introduced to the states in Philadelphia a long time ago and spread out to other territories from

Once again at Buzzbrews, and once again it's breakfast time. Hell of a lot of carbs this time, but this is somewhat of a reward for too much cardio and lifting. This was delicious. Egg whites stuffed with

Slightly different from my usual content, but a few years ago I was doing a brief trip to Morocco with the military. Most of it was pretty busy and most of what I saw was sand, sand, and more sand in the

I tend to eat breakfast at Buzzbrews in Deep Ellum pretty often if I'm not cooking it myself. I really love this diner for a few reasons. It's 24 hours and it has something for me during any regimen I'm

I had to get my romance on. If you have a good woman, you should cook for her once in a while, and you should definitely cook her steak. Take it from a Marine who knows; a steak a day keeps Jody away.

I've been out for a few days doing Marine stuff, but I'm back now and rested up. Been a while since I spread some of the cat wealth, huh? My oldest cat, Vaan, is polydactyl. He has extra thumbs, which

As you can see, I'm continuing to post what I've been cooking up for my regimen. These posts are just to give others who are looking to do the same (lean up and pack on some lean mass) some ideas so they

Simple stuff here, and it helps you get over the boring chicken breast if you can afford the extra fat. It's also waaaaay cheap. I bought a ton of these at Aldi for $3.86, so if you're embracing the struggle

This, my friends, is something that tastes waaaaaaay better than it looks. It's also a very simple yet rewarding comfort food if you've been low carbing for a while and it will help you avoid ordering

Behold the best burger in Dallas. There are runner ups I'll introduce you to eventually, but this one takes the cake. It's not pretentious. It's not overly fussy. It's a fucking burger. First they put

"I wouldn't calm down and kept harassing my brother, so now I have to wear the Kitty Punishment Dress of Shame."

When Sprite misbehaves too much, she is subjected to the punishment dress until she calms down.

The lean eats continues. If it seems like there isn't much variety in my types of dinners when I'm doing this, it's because there isn't. Variety gets in the way of tracking your calories and macros. Being

Still at it. This is pretty usual for me. 1 cup of egg whites, 3 eggs, one small avocado. Also, I drizzled some buffalo sauce on top, because I'm the buffalo sauce boss. Approx 50 grams protein, 29 grams

Sprite says "No Mondays. Only cats."

Clean. Meal prep. Go for a run. Post photo of Alfador judging me for skipping leg day. Beer. Objective #4 achieved.
