What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

I remember corn dogs, I always loved the taste but my body doesn't like them Kind of like popcorn, my taste-buds and body have different reactions to them, sadly.

Today:

First Breakfast: Kashi Autumn Wheat cereal with skim milk, 5 almonds, coffee
22.5 mile bike ride
Second Breakfast: 4 ounces pulled chicken breast with a bit of cheddar melted on it, salsa, 1 slice Ezekiel bread toast

1 hour advanced Bosu class with weights (HARD class)
1.25 hour hard metabolic/functional fitness group training (I never know what to call it)
post-workout snack: Power bar (toffee chocolate chip)

L: chile-onion tortilla with 4 ounces pulled chicken, a bit of cheese, salsa, romaine lettuce. Skim milk and 1 cup Blue Bell Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream for dessert.

Dinner will probably feature garlic chicken sausage, brown rice medley, a small salad and a beer. There will be an evening snack of fruit.

I won't be meeting my net calorie targets for today... Had fun though

Yowza, Catrin. That's a lot in one day for somebody who is recovering from a couple of injuries and has had some muscles prone to overuse issues.

ETA: I know you love to push yourself and that's great. Just be careful!

I didn't INTEND to do all of that, but it was fun. It was also using different muscles and I would have stopped at the first suggestion of pain. There wasn't any These workouts are very different from anything I've done before - though I won't be mixing those two classes in the future.

Thankfully my new group trainer forces the issue and makes certain we get enough rest during the workout. He pushes really hard, but he also keeps an eye out for proper form and needed modifications.
