Day Fifteen

During spring yesterday, was thinking that "wimpy workouts" are the key to getting back into training. Less is more.  No shame when its really your first day back in the gym doing less than your mind wants.

11:00 am = protein bars x 2 = 320x2 = 640 cals

2:00pm = beans and zuccini = 350 cals

6:00 pm = dinner at middle eastern rest =  600 cals


daily total = 1590 cals

Day fourteen

8:00 am = cream of wheat  = 250 cals

11: 30 am = two bowls of wild rice, black beans, and summer squash = 650 cals

       2:50 pm -->  workout --> wind sprints , ball field , 4 reps --> 2:09


4:00 pm = same as 11:30 am meal = 350 cals
4:30 pm = 5 cookies ( bad) = 200 cals

6:00 pm = rice, %seitan , broccoli = 500 cals

( was ravenous hungry at 6 pm )

daily total = 1950 cals

the key to eating more calories = working out  ! creating the demand. it's simple. I could have eaten more

Day thirteen

Wow . So it has been almost a month since last post, had to come off the program when we went on our family retreat in the woods because I did not have access to a lot of food, especially not the foods on my "good" list.  I didn't want to work out and then eat more because it would have mean eating a lot of bread and granola and other things that were available but not what my body needs to build.

So I'm back. I've done some light running and interval training since then but no real gym workouts. 

9am = 4 slices of Rudis bread = 320 cals

scrambled tofu = 120 cals 

almond milk mixed with calcium = 80 cals

noon = 2 whole squashes, cashews in sauce = 250 cals

2pm before workout = 1 protein bar = 150 cals 

4:30 pm = bowl of fruit... kiwi, mango, strawberry = 200 cals

7:00 pm = grilled cheese on gluten free bread with soup = 350 cals

daily total  = 1470 cals

Did half of Del Monte's "C" workout on the warmup workouts
felt great at end of the day.
