Elote Tacos
Taco-style: 495 cals, 40g protein
Salad-style: 355 cals, 29g protein
Recipe alterations:
I used 93/7 ground turkey
Instead of TJ’s frozen elote, I used frozen roasted corn, taco seasoning and garlic-and-herb Laughing Cow
I used low-carb tortillas

Today on my Substack, I’ve written a blurb about one of the motivating factors for my weight loss and fitness obsession. It isn’t what you’d think. On the surface, I’m flexing…but on the inside, there’s a struggle with body image and a lifetime of being bullied for being overweight. #runningPunks

I’ve been angry with the Hulkster for the last year, but that doesn’t change the fact that he was my hero for 39 years before that. I’m still mad at him, though my heart hurts.

I’ve been working on an eight-week program designed to speed up my 5k. Today’s 5-4-3-2-1 tempo run marks the final speed run of the program, this being the penultimate week before testing. Add to this my leg day this morning and I’m ready to have a sleep, y’all! #runningPunks
