Yesterday:
Before we get into today, let's revisit yesterday. Because I have this lovely food journal, I made rather wise/good food choices yesterday. I had tilapia, homemade fruit salad, and 1/2 avocado w/ tomatoes and green salsa for lunch, HB egg, slice of turkey, 1/2 apple, and some spaghetti squash for snack, and scrambled eggs (2 eggs + 1 egg white) w/ mushrooms and onions, 1/2 bag of tuscan veggie blend, and fruit salad for dinner. And then I had a Zone protein bar before going out, which wasn't the best choice, but it was better than a candy bar (I think). Even though I'm under the weather, I still wanted to go to the Loony Bin Comedy Club with friends. I kept a running list of my drinks for the evening, and that was somewhat depressing. The non depressing part, however, was that I came home and DID NOT EAT ANYTHING! It's a miracle! I am so stinkin' proud of myself for just coming home, putting some laundry away, and going to bed :) Oh, and the comedian(ne)s  last night were so funny! It was a good way to spend the evening. I just hope I'm not under the weather next time.

Well, as the title and above paragraph mention, I'm sick. So the fact that I even got my butt out of bed to workout this morning (after getting to bed at 3) deserves some applause. I didn't workout yesterday because I knew I was coming down with something, and during the WOD it felt like I was breaking a fever every 2 minutes. Sweaty but hot sweaty. Not workout sweaty. Those of you who work out know what I mean :) So yay for a good sickly sweaty workout that took less than an hour from warm-up to finish!

Today's Planned Meals:
I really haven't thought this far ahead because it's the weekend, but the following sound good:

Breakfast: Protein Shake (1 scoop protein, 1/2 c. frozen fruit, 1/2 banana, handful spinach, walnut oil? (protein, carbs, and good fat)), 1/2 banana (for recovery), and 1/2 bell pepper (carbs). Not sure if the oil will taste good at all in the smoothie, but I don't want to eat 1/2 avocado this morning, and I don't have any almonds these days...

Lunch: 3 oz. chicken or 4 oz. tilapia (protein), 1 c. steamed veggies (carbs), 2/3 c. fruit salad (carbs), 1/2 avocado w/ tomatoes and green salsa (good fat and carbs).

Snack: Applegate Farms sliced turkey (1 oz.ish), 1/2 c. steamed veggies w/ OO (carbs and good fat)

Dinner: ???? Hopefully something healthy/smart.

Well, now I have to go mow. Yeah, this is gonna feel real good for my head cold.
Thanks for reading. Until tomorrow.
