Zone Day 3

 

Tors: 

It was a day when breakfast was awesome, and then lunch was kind of 'meh...I think I should swap these around.  I also thought when I was cooking that I needed more chicken than 90g - but it works out that I didn't!  The 90g of chicken in a frypan just looked so tiny, but I was full!  In terms of performance, I've done two big sessions within 14 hours of each other and my body is in good shape.  I ate my snack (was very happy with the portion of celery!) at 3pm and was a little hungry by the time we had dinner but I did have to catch the bus home and we ate late.  I do have to remember to keep drinking water - it's my biggest problem - drink more!!

Breakfast (3 Blocks)

Protein Shake (2p) - Hydro Whey (1/2 scoop & water)
30g bacon (1p)

1 & 1/2 cup cooked spinach (1c)

1 tomato (1c)

1 & 1/3 cup zucchini (uncooked) (1c)

1 tsp olive oil

1 clove garlic

I pre-cooked the bacon (in a batch), measure the bacon before it's cooked!  Chop the spinach, and steam in a pot with the garlic and zucchini and cook until the spinach has wilted and the zucchini is soft.  Chop the tomato and bacon and sprinkle on top.

Russ: 
Still feeling good all up. I had to cut up a fallen tree for a few hours in the arvo heat today and afterwards, felt hungry for the first time since we started. I think it was more out of habit than actual hunger. I am used to just walking in the house and going to the pantry and grabbing a handful of nuts, given a little more time and that won't be a hard habit to break.

Oh by the way, my lunch weighed just under a kilo today!!! Choose the right foods and you'll be able to eat until your eyes pop....all from the goodness of veggies, trimmed bacon and olives.

I changed this recipe a little, 

firstly, I only used 240g chicken (90g for 3 block and 150g for 5 block).  I didn't make the salad but made wilted spinach with garlic and 1/2 juice of a lemon and used 8 blocks of sweet potato - which is 5 inches plus another 3/5ths of 5 inches.  Message me if you're confused - I was, but I got there in the end!  Cook the chicken in the lemon rind and add the other 1/2 of the lemon juice to the sweet potatoes when you're mixing in the oregano.  We topped this with light sour cream (8tsp = 8f) and it was a little indulgent!
