Tonight I am satiated with a full belly of good food. Let me back up, though, and take you through today.
This morning I ran a 10k in miserable muggy 83% humidity. 79 degrees. It's one of my favorite 10k's, but oy vay that weather.
I started my day with an Atkins chocolate shake and a cup of coffee with a tablespoon of coconut oil in it. It was my tiny carb and caffeine prep for the run.
After the race, I had a banana (the only time I will eat one is post race), a slice of cheese pizza, green salad with raspberry vinaigrette, and a light beer. Lots of water from that point on!!
Next stop was a local Nola themed breakfast joint. Here's my brunch:
Yum. Off the rails, but I had one slice of bacon and two slices of the bananas foster pain perdu. Ridiculously delish! And a Bloody Mary. It's my day off and spouse and I enjoyed the day. 11.5 miles travelled today, so that was my treat.
I drank water through the day, then had a a snack of string cheese.
Dinner was ah. Maze. Ing!! We grilled out.
Ribeye steak ( half for tomorrow's lunch), garlic butter shrimp, fresh zucchini and squash, and fresh pineapple marinated in coconut white balsamic vinaigrette. Perhaps one of the best things I've ever eaten!
And a pineapple mojito made with Splenda simple syrup.
I rarely drink, but occasionally spouse and I will enjoy an adult beverage. Always lo carb minded for me.
So I had a sparse breakfast, a good workout, great treat brunch, and a healthy high protein, low carb dinner.
I'm not missing a thing! AND I have surf and turf leftovers for lunch!
Now I've blogged.
Repeating soon.
