Dave

eh, Monday again.
I had a pretty good weekend overall. Got lots of activity in hauling my butt up a mountain and back and seeing how hungry that makes you, I think I made some decent choices.

No, back to reality

Breakfast: cottage cheese w. grapes and almonds
Lunch: salad w/ 4oz steak tips
Dinner: We have steak thawing, but its my wedding anniversary and hubs has been talking about going out to dinner... if he can come up with the cash that might happy, will have to wait and see

I'm little worried about getting my activity in this week. The knee pain I get when I run came back with avengence on the descent and is still hanging on. I have promised hubs to take today off from the gym but even walking around I can still feel it. This has potential to put a serious cramp in my C25K plans :(

wanna see whats putting a cramp in my c25k workout...my purple foot from my four-wheeler on sunday!

Pokes,
  can you explain how your knee bothers you?  I have had a lot of issues with my knee and may have an idea as to what is causing the pain if you can explain it a bit more.  Does it give out? or catch? Does it swell?  Is it a shooting pain or constant?  anyways I hope you can manage the pain and you can rest it a bit today.

Dave stay off your 4 wheeler or keep your feet up, Be careful. 

Its the outside part of my knee just below the kneecap.
Saturday was the 1st time it was swollen but it was 4 miles I walked on it with the pain.
Also, it hurt coming down, but going up it was fine which I found strange. Even when coming down there were a few parts of the path you had to hike up and it didnt hurt nearly as much then.
Its strange bc it doesnt crack or give out or anything, its just a shooting knee pain.

One good thing though... I got to ice it... only real athletes have to ice up after they do thier thing :)

Hi guys =)

I went shopping this weekend and purchased a lot of the things I see you all putting on your lists. So today my menu is a whole lot healthier. I'll start by what I had yesterday.

Sunday -
Cottage Cheese w/ half a banana (my potassium was low)
1 cup of lettuce, 4 black olives, 1/4th a cup of pumpkin seeds (9g of protein) and 2 tbs of light thousand island dressing.
Lean Cuisine Ravioli (ate half).
snack - protein bar

Monday -
The same salad as above for breakfast (I was just in a salad mood)
Lean Cuisine pasta bowl for lunch (ate half).
Tuna Fish with wheat thins
snack - protein bar

My question for today is should I be adding the pumpkin seeds? They are supposed to be very good for you but when you look at the nutritional facts at first glance it's pretty ugly. A quarter cup has 186 calories of which 142 are from fat. It has 9g of Protein but 16g of Fat. The sites I looked at said they are the good types of fat though (mono and poly) and that they are a great source for  phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, zinc, iron, copper and vitamin K in addition to the protein. Thoughts? I got a small bag's worth out of the health food section of the local grocery store but I can always give it to the parrots =).

great to see we are helping you on your journey! i am not sure on pumpkin seeds... i think they are better for you than some other stuff just not totally sure...

so what is your protein intake up to now?
Dave

Looking much better, but you still need to add a bit more protein.  you could try slivered or sliced almonds in the salad or walnuts.  Unfortunately nuts are high in fat, but have a pretty good protein count.  Tuna or chicken would be a great alternative to add.  You could add a few pumpkin seeds though.  I just would not depend on them for your protein source.

So glad to have you on board!
