Last night's dinner turned out nicely. Sauteed shallots, garlic & ginger until tender, tossed in a couple chicken breasts, browned them nicely & then lowered the heat to cook them through, then tossed in a huge pile of kale. Served with 1/2 a roasted acorn squash and a big green salad. YUM!

Today has been another "inhale everything in sight" day, courtesy of my a.m. swim. I was already hungry somewhere around 1800 yards and have been behind the curve all day.

4:30 apple with 1T almond butter
5:15 2800 meter swim
6:45 Gu Roctane
7:00 60 minute run
8:00 a banana & half a leftover roasted acorn squash while I waited for my oatmeal to cook.
8:30 1 cup of oatmeal with cinnamon
10:30 more acorn squash with 8 walnuts. 1% latte.
12:30 My usual green salad with a pile o' veggie toppings, 1/2 a small avocado, one small sweet potato
3:30 one cup greek yogurt
6:30 dinner tonight is tofu stir-fried with some of the bounty from today's CSA basket, plus a nice big green salad. I have a really awesome ginger-miso dressing recipe that I make all the time and will probably whip up a batch of that tonight for accompaniment.

I probably should have had eggs for breakfast instead of oatmeal, as I'm shy on protein today, but I'll survive. I haven't had oatmeal all week and was really wanting some!


Tomorrow I have a 3800meter swim on my training plan. Holy crap! I've *never* swum that far in one go. I'm thinking I need to have an actual breakfast beforehand or I'll never make it through. But sheesh, getting up early enough to do that (like 4am at the latest) is totally unattractive. Maybe just some toast instead, supplemented with a poolside Gu halfway through... hhhmmmmm...
