Rookie mistake.... misspelled Beth's blog address! Its actually fatbustermack.com...check it!
Whenever I step up the exercising, I always end up eating like a savage beast! I'm a little nervous about the diet accountability here especially since I plan on starting to train for another triathlon this summer (injuries permitting). The good news is that I woke up without back pain this morning for the first time in a LONG time...awesome! I'm hoping that with proper nutrition and more exercise my injuries will perminently chill out. Today I was super hungry and ate pretty well but I ate large portions for lunch and dinner.
Here it goes:
Day 2:
Brekkie- I had a fiber bar for breakfast and tried something called the "Membrane Fluidizer Cocktail" this morning. The name sounds nasty but it was actually really good! I got the recipe from Dr. D'Adamo's book (Eat Right 4 Your Type). The recipe is simple- 1 tablespoon flax seed oil, 1 tablespoon lecithin granules and 6-8 ounces orange juice. I didn't taste the oil or the granules. Lecithin is a lipid, found in animals and plants, that contains metabolism- and immune enhancing properties. It absorbs into the oil so you can't taste it in the juice. I picked up the Lecithin granules at the health food store and it was pretty reasonable. I love orange juice but yes its high in calories. Maybe one of these days I can motivated myself to get up earlier and make fresh vegetable juice.Snack- Mocha TLC bar, Blueberry Greek Yogurt
Lunch- A big Quinoa soup (with squash, potatoes, and red peppers), coconut water (tasty and a natural electrolyte + very high in potassium!), and an all natural peanut butter/dark chocolate square (my guilty pleasure!). My friend told me today that Quinoa is high in protein which fills you up (I can use that with my appetite!).
Din'ski- Whole wheat tomato, basil, mozzarella ravioli with tomato sauce (I ate a lot...I'll admit it...I WAS HUNGRY!)
Exercise: 30 minutes on the StairMaster
Energy level: Better then yesterday!
Hours worked today: 12
Have you heard about Green Monsters? They're a great way to get some good veggies in. I have a recipe on my blog for it. So, when you work 12 hours, what are you doing? Teaching/tutoring?
ReplyDeleteI'm teaching and then going to coach and/or lifeguard. Plus on Tues/Thurs they have Masters swimming which I try to go to once a week but even that is a lot because it turns into a 14 hour day. Luckily swim season is ending in mid-March and I will have a few more hours in my day!!
