Today’s Totals - June 16th, 2008

Nothing much else going on here today. The hail came early enough that a swim was possible in the late afternoon. So I’m really just adding the food for the day.

Food for the day:

Total: 2409 (29% fat, 38% carbs, 32% protein)

Breakfast: egg/egg white omelet with cheese, lemon ginger pecan bread, jam, grapefruit (475)
AM Snack: grapes, protein shake (301)
Lunch: bbq pork, roasted veggies, apple (357)
PM Snack: soy nuts, protein shake (269)
Dinner: spicy meatloaf with roasted potatoes and onions, broccoli, butter, salad w/dressing (742)
Late Snack: berry yogurt sorbet, protein shake (265)

Hail !?!

Hail

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen hail before. Just never this much, this fast. On the plus side, the pots on the patio are starting to look pretty good. :)

I can smile because it won’t do much to the annuals, and the sun is already shining again. The cherries might be toast though. We’ll have to wait and see.

Added - the cherries look like they’ll be okay… as long as we can protect them from the birds!

Well, I made a point to stick to the written rest periods. I think it did make it marginally easier to get through it today. Last week I had to take my glasses off because they kept getting sweat in them. Not that this hasn’t happened before, but not to such a great extent. Although today I did take them off before I started, so who knows. I do know that by the time I was done I was completely spent.

I’m also thinking that if I’m going to continue doing my workouts in the late morning (as I did today) that I’ll adjust my food a little. My post workout shake and fruit came at some time just after 1pm, so it was pretty close to lunch. I might really be better off combining the two meals, and maybe take a handful of nuts before starting. I can’t workout after an egg breakfast, but was kind of looking for a morning snack by the time I started (11:30-ish). I’ll have to think about that for Wednesday.
