Today was a bit of a success and a bit of a let down. Let's start with the training; I did a 30 minute run in the morning. I intended to do some lifting, but needed a good stretch and warm down. My legs were just aching after the last few days.
For breakfast:
yummy steak and eggs at Sunlight Grill. A tad pricey, but totally worth it. Didn't eat the "home fries", had the rye toast. (Which I will talk about later in this post)
For lunch
Swiss Chalet quarter chicken dinner with salad (I think it was the salad ... hmm .. that's my story and I am sticking with it) as the staff ordered in lunch. Also yummy.
Snack
Almonds and water (didn't measure, but a bunch)
Dinner
ok this is where things began to slide for me. Two slices of cold Pizza, leftovers from Wednesday. Rushing out of the house for a family thing. Something of a weakness in my diet plan here. Should have something ready to go in the fridge for just such moments.
Got home and went out to a buddy's place for a small birthday party and we ordered food then, too. I ate chicken wings, salsa on pita bread ... I forget what else, but it was all fried and awesomely delicious. Seriously, it was probably a thousand calories of yummy. But lots of gluten, I am sure. But how often do you and your best friend turn forty?
In any case, I am feeling good this morning as I write up yesterday's workouts and meals. I want to also share the "research" I did over lunch with my co-worker. Seems one of their children exists with Celiac's Disease and is going to help me become more "Gluten aware" during this "Culminating Activity/Research Project" I am doing. Seems there are quite a number of people on this planet that are gluten sensitive and are not aware of it.
She pointed me in the direction of a few natural/organic grocery stores in and around our workplace that have knowledgeable staff. She complimented me on not eating the home fries, but pointed out that most breads have gluten in them, including rye bread. I will avoid that in the future. Going to a place like the Organic Garage is what I think that will be one of the next things I try out. That, and I will try to make some healthier food choices this weekend - but that will be tough as it is my eldest daughter's First Communion. Lots of cake and other sweets, gluten-laden and low nutrient dense food.
Meh, I will do my best.
