So cycling has turned out to be great cross-training for this little gig, because of all the legwork we do. I rode my bike to the Silver Comet trailhead to meet Mitzi and a few other friends at 8am, and put in a total of 31 miles. Overall, I felt good, but was having technical difficulties with my rear end (I'll spare you the details, even if you ask).
However, that was only the cardio part of the personal mission - I still had 50 squats, 1 minute plank, 50 tricep dips, and another 1 minute plank. Planks don't look that bad til you try to do them. Try brushing your teeth after that PM. Go on, I dare you.
Sunday was our first day OFF. It is also a day of food prep for me - time to take stock of the refrigerator (there is more air space now!), figure out if I have enough for lunches and snacks, and usually grill a few chicken breasts. Typical day of eating looks like this:
Breakfast - 4:50am - the protein/fiber shake (chocolate protein, orange fiber, 1/2c frozen berries, 1 scoop super greens, 1 tblsp ground flaxseed, water, ice), a few sips of that cup of coffee
Snack - Fage (pronounced 'fah-yay') Greek yogurt with handful of blackberries/blueberries, and honey or a little Stevia (it's not sweetened); Coffee
Lunch - Wild field greens salad with grilled chicken, blueberries, almonds, a tablespoon of craisins, maybe cheese - and a lo-fat or no-fat dressing (love raspberry balsamic!); carrots (baby, raw) and another fruit (apple, or cup of cherries)
Snack - protein bar of some description, and usually another serving of fruit - after eliminating desserts, I'm desperate!
Dinner - Fixed an Asian stirfry with chicken a few nights ago - frozen veggies from Costco, and one of the chicken breasts I had grilled earlier - very tasty and filling!
And alot of water throughout the day.
