Day 467

So Friday (today) is always a fun day.  It's the end of the week and the weekend is when I really try to work on my race training.  Taking the day off before training days just makes me happy.  It is also a re-charge time so the weekend will go down as planned.  This month so far has been interesting.  The first two weeks were pretty much a wash as I was trying to recover from the back issues and that took a toll on my working out.  Even with not working out though I haven't gained any weight so I'm quite happy about that.  I'm trying to eat better and not go crazy overeating.  I think my metabolism may have adjusted to a more reasonable level.  I obviously still, at times, over indulge but I am hopefully smarter about it in the long run.

Breakfast: Frittata with mushrooms, two eggs, three slices of ham, cottage cheese, crumbled Gorgonzola, and salsa.  20oz of cold water.

1st snack: Almond croissant and a Greek yogurt with 24 almonds

Lunch: Four street tacos and a half of a almond croissant.

2nd snack: Half of an almond croissant and an ice tea drink

Dinner: Spinach salad with shrimp, crumbled Gorgonzola, cottage cheese, pickled asparagus, hard boiled egg, some broccoli, and corn.  Also an almond croissant.

Later in the evening I was hungry so I had 48 pistachios and some pickled asparagus.

So L and I will meet tomorrow after I run for the first time in two weeks.  I'm going to take it easy and not try to run fast ( ha as if I ever do).  I'll listen to my body and if the the back starts to twinge I'll back off and walk.  At least that is the plan.
