Here is Monday:
7:30 - 2 eggs, Ezekiel sprouted grain bread w/ butter, veggie drink
10:30 - oatmeal w/ almond milk & ground flax, 1 1/2 turkey sausage patty (post workout)
1:00 - 3 oz flank steak (yes, I actually weighed it!), 1/2 cup couscous, veggie drink
3:00 - vanilla protein drink, 2 slices sprouted grain bread w/ butter
5:45 - 1 cup white chili, 1 whole wheat roll
Total Calories = 1767
Not bad, but 267 over my target of 1500/day. It's amazing how quickly those calories add up, especially when it doesn't seem like I'm eating a whole lot. This really puts things into perspective for me as far as how much I probably eat when I'm not tracking calories. I can eat a LOT of food! I assume it's because I have a fast metabolism and I need the fuel for energy. Just a guess?
Ok, so did I get the hill climb in yesterday? I did! AND, I did hill sprints in the am. Oh. My. Lord. Those are the devil. Seriously. Sprinting is ok. I can live with sprints. In fact, I should do them more often. Ever notice the legs of a sprinter? I want hammies like that! Anyway, as I said, sprinting is ok, but sprinting uphill? Wow. My lungs were burning!
Yesterday = success!

hey charlotte, lol ! i just reread my reply to your last post and laughed out loud. i wrote "cant wait til i get to your stage so you cant tell me what to do" - oops - i meant to say "so you CAN tell me what to do" that must have sounded so arrogant hahahaha!
i used to type 100 wpm and 98% accuracy but that was before the kids - now i type on a small laptop with long acrylic nails.
Can you tell me about your sprints - % incline, speed, time intervals ? (pretty please?) i think mine need a re-vamp
thanks and clean eating !! xxx
my treadmill doesn't actually tell me at what percentage my incline is at (which really sucks the big one) so I just have to eyeball it. But I have it up about halfway and I sprint at 8 or 9 for 30 seconds...any faster or longer than that and I would kill myself! I just wait until I catch my breath (2-3 minutes) and go again. 20 minutes and done!
