TBT: Day 6

The boring stuff

Food

greek yogurt and granola for breakfast
4 pbj's about every 2 hours throughout the day
one of sunny's granola/protein bars of fantastic yummy awesomeness (Menace gave me one cause she's fantastic) and a muscle milk post practice
1/2 pho for dinner
3 (yes I spurlged a little) dark chocolate squares
tea and water to drink

Exercise

2 hr Die practice, 1 hr Mean@$$ practice.  Did 40/100 in the pace line (personal best), and I made it through all the sprints.  Slowly and surely, getting better.  More slow than sure, but hey, I am the derby turtle.  I WILL get there.

The fun stuff

General Notes

The pbjs throughout the day seemed to work pretty well.  Though I've got my cauliflower catastrophe (lesson learned: add yogurt at the very end, not when stuff still needs to cook) still sitting in my fridge that I need to eat at some point.  It's not inedible, it's just not terribly appealing.  Guess I should try to figure out how to revitalize it and make it appetizing.  Ideas?

TBT: Day 5

The boring stuff

Food

Eggs for breakfast
muscle milk and two granola bars post practice
1/2 pho for lunch
brown rice, mushrooms and spinach for dinner
3 chocolate squares
tea and water to drink

Exercise

3 period scrimmage.  There were a LOT of people there, so it wasn't as intense as I would have liked.  But I did have the star for a full two minute jam (I was lead jammer, and those were the 10 damn hardest points of my life), and I did have some interesting blocks (block to the outside facing the wrong way, then turn and sprint, beat her to the apex, and make another hit on the same person facing the correct way).  So all in all, a good practice.

The fun stuff

General Notes

I think it's the protein.  When I get protein, I don't get hungry as quickly.  I think I'm going to stash myself some pbj's for snacks tomorrow.

TBT: Day 4

The boring stuff

Food

OFF DAY!!!!!!!
cereal for breakfast
muscle milk post practice
pizza (it was glorious) for lunch
crackers, too much guacamole, and a little bit of cheese ball for dinner
water, tea, beer, ginger beer, and baileys to drink

Exercise

3 period scrimmage, with lots of back to back jams

The fun stuff

General Thoughts

Didn't think much about food today except for "I need to remember I put this in my mouth."  Had pretty decent energy levels all day.  I think my issue is a matter of calorie density.  Oh well, keep on tweaking my menu and see what happens.

Oh, and I noticed that Monday is a Die practice.  *wimper*  Can I pre-emptively run and hide?

TBT: Day 3

The boring stuff

Food

pbj for breakfast
other 1/2 of the pho for first lunch
brown rice, mushrooms and spinach for second lunch
2 granola bars for snacks
chipotle chicken fajita burrito (and it killed me not to get cheese or sour cream)
chocolate square for dessert
milk, tea, and water to drink

Exercise

Today is an off day.  I'm starting off with just derby stuff since I took so much of December off.  I'll step up 2/days Jan 21st, and then six days a week Feb 4th.  Two weeks between stepping shit up, hopefully that's enough.

General Notes

I think about food a lot, but it's more "holy crap, how can I be hungry already?".  I did better today about eating when hungry.  I'm pretty good about getting protein breakfast and dinner.  I need to work on that throughout the day.

The fun stuff 

I wore a unitard today.  It was just as awful as you could expect.

TBT: Day 2

The boring stuff

Food: scrambled eggs for breakfast
granola bar for a snack
spring roll, side salad, and 1/2 of pho for lunch
muscle milk and granola bar after practice
cauliflower, yogurt, and brown rice for dinner
dark chocolate square for dessert
water, milk and tea to drink

Exercise: 2 hr practice with lots of endurance and foot work.

General notes: doing better today in terms of eating enough. Still was a little hungry before practice, so I think I'll try a Pbj around 4 next time.
