kasha
banana
peanut butter
splash of milk & glass of milk
This was actually a lot of food and I didn't eat it all. But it was good.
9:15 am snack:
string cheese, apple
12pm lunch:
salad at Sweet Tomatoes with egg, feta, sunflower seeds, black olives, oil & vinegar dressing
3pm snack:
green pepper, hummus
5pm post workout shake. This actually turned out pretty well. 12oz of milk, two cubes of blueberry/peach/avocado puree and a scoop and a half of protein powder. The protein powder tastes a little like raw flour, but I realized since I'm having so much milk, I can back off to just one scoop. I'm also debating the need for the avacado, especially considering the amount of fat that's in it.
6pm chicken, white rice with cream of mushroom, corn. Yeah, not the best, but since I'm not cooking, I can't complain.
The weird thing is that I feel like I'm eating a ton, but I was hungry all day. What's up with that?

Oddly, the exercise I though would be easy wasn't and the one I thought would kill me didn't. Admittedly, I was still very sore from Monday, so I probably didn't push myself like I should have. But the squat was a lot more difficult than I expected and the bulgarian wasn't as bad. Although I realized at the end I needed to go down further because I wasn't getting everything out of it that I could. Lateral raise was sooooo hard. I started with 12lb weights and after 3 I had to switch because my form was so crappy. And what looked like a nothing exercise, the lat pullover, was probably my favorite. It looks like it's just working an isolated muscle, but I could feel everything in my core engaged. Awesome.
So I have to say, I'm loving these workouts. They're hard, but pretty quick and I'm feeling pretty shaky afterward. Although I have to admit, the shake totally helped with that. Looking forward to Friday and getting to do some of them again. I think I'll go for 3 sets this time.
