Dont' remember food that much for this day at all

I do remember that I did sprints pretty much every day this weekend. I felt great.

Also supplements: fish oil every day along with calcium and spirulina in evening ( proper dose ) did not give stomach issues when doing proper dose.

Muscles, skeletal feels great.
Flexibility good, overall well being is good.

notes : noticing a lot of intenstal bloating.  I think the mock fish  and the shellfish in the joint supplement may have been the culprit ?  need to look into this further.

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

       2:50 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 )

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