So I managed to get my cardio in quite early this morning. It took the first session to ramp up any enthusiasm for the second one. I also did some baking as well. Okay, I’ve been awake since 5:30 am (couldn’t get back to sleep) and I’m tired, cranky, and a little hungry. The hunger I’ll live with but right now I feel like I’m running on fumes so I might try a nap. I looked around outside and nothing needs water or anything so I might just veg for the afternoon. If I’m feeling charitable I’ll do it outside so the cats can play more.

So my friend dropped off the whey this morning. It’s two - 2.2lb containers (one chocolate, one vanilla) and it’s the fancy cold processed whey. So I’ll try the vanilla one (a flavour I would never purchase) tonight with some fruit to see how that goes. I understand I can get more later on at a really good price.

From the HR monitor:

Definitely time to get to bed. I just puttered around in the afternoon. I didn’t do a lot, but just enough that I’m so tired now. I’ve also had a really ‘chew your arm off’ hunger day. I suspect that’s because my day started about 5:30am and I’m probably within a day or so of my period. I stayed within what I’d planned, however, I had to readjust my dinner as I just had to have something else in the afternoon. Heck, I was pretty close to my afternoon snack being the largest meal of the day. It was eaten at three different times, but still….

Food for the day:

Total: 2402 (21% fat, 41% carbs, 33% protein)

Breakfast: two fried eggs, honey oatmeal bread, plums (431)
AM Snack: chocolate zucchini cake (189)
Lunch: whole wheat tortillas, mustard, smoked turkey, cheese, peach , plums (445)
PM Snack: protein shake, dried apricots, hummus, carrots, pisco sour (526)
Dinner: whole wheat spaghetti with meat sauce and parmesan, salad w/dressing (562)
Late Snack: protein shake with frozen blackberries/raspberries (267)

Oh, and that evening shake was made with the vanilla protein powder my friend dropped off today. It was really quite nice although I did add 1/4 tsp of vitamin C crystals to cut the sweetness of the vanilla.
