The pot cracked all the way around, spilling half cooked french lentils all over my stove. Starving, I cleaned up my mess, doing the math in my head that to prepare another pot was not going to happen because it had gotten so late. In turn, I settled for a plate of raw spinach that I ate pretending each leaf was a potato chip. Dinner served. (protein shake and other veggies included)
I made lentils for breakfast. Breakfast of champions. For those of you wondering why I didn't just have a bowl of cereal or some other reasonable easy fix for dinner or even breakfast for those of us to eat dinner at 8 pm when we get home from work I am doing a body purification program. I am limited as to what I put in my body, and also limited to the amount of exercise my body can handle. So, lentils are my staple. Yeay Lentils!
As for now my obliques are still sore from swimming Monday night. That is a good thing I guess. I never realized how much I under-utilized those muscles. Other than that I am not hurting today anyplace else. I plan on going to The Fitness Connection at 3 when I get out of work for a mild to moderate work out, not enough time for weights today, so perhaps tomorrow I will re-introduce them into my work out plan. I finally feel as though my body is getting enough protein to repair the muscle tears from light lifting.
How are you with getting enough protein in your diet? Are you supplementing with shakes? I think eating healthier would much easier if I had a personal chef. Take last night for instance, if I had a chef to cook my lentils they would have been ready when I got home and I could have avoided the grouchiness that followed the Great Lentil Spill of '10. Did I say grouchiness? You bet I did. I was hungry. Lesson learned though, lentils are cooked in my refrigerator waiting to be warmed up with some fresh veggies for a post work out treat this afternoon. Yum!
I was able to squeeze in a few minutes this morning to see my Chiropractor for an adjustment. I am trying to get adjusted 2 times a week right now as my body is going through all of these changes. Today, all in all, I feel amazing. My energy is high, my mood is pleasant, I am ready for anything.
I am please with the traffic this blog has generated over the course of ONE day. I had 81 hits yesterday, an inbox flooded with comments, and lots of positive responses. Perhaps a few negative ones, but who listens to the negative anyways? Adding a comment to the bottom of the page is very easy, but it is your choice.
