Sunday, August 25

I went to bed early just to get up and to the Hooverball Tournament on time so when I woke up at 6:45 I had to skip my normal breakfast, grab some snacks and hit my bike fast.

Around 3 pm I got all stressed out and had my first Diet Coke in some time. It felt awful going down and certainly didn’t quench my taste. I will not be doing that again any time soon. It tasted like cleaning fluid (not that I’ve ever had cleaning fluid for a beverage, but you get the drift)

Wedensday, August 22

I let my busy schedule get the best of me and haven’t worked out all week - I can feel it mentally AND physically. I can’t wait to come back to class tomorrow.

In any event, I’ve found adding that extra egg to breakfast is very beneficial to my work day, which is like being an air traffic controller, only online and there are no passengers at risk.

Breakfast - 6:30 am
2 scoops green whey protein powder
1 cup soymilk
1 egg
1/2 splenda (I’m weaning myself slowly off off artificial sweeteners)

Snack - 11:00 am
1 slice provolone cheese
3 almonds
1/2 avocado

Lunch
Wrap with tortilla, veggies and grilled chicken (my first tortilla in 9 weeks -woah)

Snack - 6 pm
1 slice provolone cheese
3 almonds
1/2 avocado

I had an evening event for work, and didn’t touch any of the food passed around and I’m almost too tired to eat dinner. Looking forward to tomorrow…and the Hooverball tourney!
