On Track Team

I'm back. Did ok on the trip.. I was affraid to get on the scale but it stayed put so I am happy with that.. I may not have gone to the gym but balancing on those rocks and fighting that river to walk around and fish was truly a work out in its self.. haha... so lets get this party started. Vitamins- done Water- got some right now Food B- protein drink S- protein bar L- some chicken deli meat with a piece of cheese S- protein balls D- chicken and veggies S- Ice cream... total cals 1250 and 135 protein... Exercise- gonna rest the bones.. they are a little sore from all that fun I just had Goal- to get back on track and get lots of fluid in me.. been slacking in both areas.

Carla, I'm sure you burned a lot of calories on your trip! It sounds like you were constantly busy and on the go! Plus, you deserve a vacation from the gym! Food: B--oatmeal, light orange juice S after gym--banana with peanut butter L--1/2 ham and cheese sandwich on whole wheat, strawberries, 1/2 serving Sun Chips S--protein balls (Carla, I made your recipe and I love them!) D--lasagna made with whole wheat noodles and ground turkey, salad S--something to load up with carbs for my race tomorrow Exercise: Off to the gym to TAN in just a few minutes! Then I'll run for a slow 1 mile and walk 1 mile. Tomorrow morning I have a 5K run in the morning. So I'm trying to "load up" on good carbs today since I won't eat much before running in the morning. I'm trying a new plan according to my neighbor, who has a masters in Physical Education and Training ... he says to stay low on the protein the day before the race, otherwise your stomach is pulling all your bodies blood supply to digest the protein ... so that your blood supply isn't used properly while you're running and it's harder to get oxygen when that happens. I don't know. I'm giving it a try to see how it goes! Deanna

Hey Carla you've been at the gym all weekend - God's 'natural' gym....
