Another pre-cut epic Costco run in store…

One of the ways I ensure a successful cut is to rid the house of anything that isn’t part of my plan, and stock up on nothing but the good stuff.
Even though I’ll be doing this cut a little differently than usual (see this past Tuesday’s blog) and having a weekly cheat meal, I will probably be going out to eat for that, or ordering pizza. So there won’t be any junk food in the house. Oh, wait. I do have theater popcorn in stock. I’m allowing myself one cheat snack per week, too, and it will almost always be movie theater popcorn. A movie is not a movie without that. π
Here is a list of the foods Iβll have on hand when my cut starts. Most of these items will be purchased in bulk at Costco, while fresh fruits and fresh vegetables will be purchased with quick runs to the market during the week.
Proteins:
80 pounds boneless/skinless chicken breast
16 pounds Atlantic salmon

I’m getting stoked! I feel so dumpy right now, I can’t wait to get back to fighting weight.
What, no receipt pic? π
Something just occurred to me reading this blog that I wanted to mention. I love reading your thorough product reviews when you post them, and I know you love movies. You should toss in some in-depth movie reviews from time to time!

As much as I love movies, I hate reviewing them. I don’t think I’ve ever done one. I enjoy a 2-way (or more) discussion on movies I’ve seen, but I don’t “review” them. For me it’s sort of like doing a review on a painting.

Let’s exchange numbers then, for some pithy movie banter. π
Maybe we can even talk religion; Apple vs. PC. π
