I find if I am eating strategically, for a working later in the day; I know what I want to eat and when. If I have a reason to plan, I will follow it and not give myself the opportunity to make bad decisions during the day.
I bought about 4 pounds of nuts and have weighed and portioned them for mid day snacks.
Slept 11:30 - 7:20 - wow almost 8 hours!
8:00 - 2 steamed (soft boiled) eggs, 2 cups broccoli, 2 tsp flax oil
10:30 snack - 1/3 cup mixed nuts
1:00 2 cups steamed broccoli, 1 salmon fillet
3:30 snack - 1/3 cup mixed nuts
5:)) Crossfit - goals -Mile 6:35, this would be a new personal record by 10 seconds
-Deadlift, previous max ? about 330lbs - goal - 340lbs
I beat my goal time by 1 second... 1 mile - 6:34, though I only hit 315 lbs on my deadlift. I weighted in at 192.4.
Reaching my goal for the 1 mile was very big for me. A 1 mile run has a lot to it. It is long enough that stamina is important, strength plays a role; and there is a huge mental component. Each component has to be working property - body and mind.
Today was also introduced sort of a change to my diet by having the time planned snacks. I felt really full after lunch, where as sometimes I am still looking for more immediately after eating. My energy level was pretty good. I skipped the fish oil pills as I was eating salmon and lots of nuts. I could feel a difference. It wasn't that I was particularly energized, or "pumped" but I felt strong in the last 400m where in past I have started to fade. I also got a good sleep last night. I am going to add my sleep hours to my blog from now on.
7:45 - 3 baked skinless chicken thighs, 1/2 head sauted swiss chard, 1 onion, 1/2 cup mushrooms, lots of garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 ounce provolone
Its now 10:30 - I would usually have a snack before bed. I'm not all hungry. I think I have to attribute this to my mid morning and mid afternoon snacks.
