What did you eat today?

[Veronica]

Have you tried making an oatmeal egg white pancake?

That sounds like something I would like. I'll have to investigate

[Veronica]

They're pretty easy. I use the same amount of oatmeal as egg whites, mix it in a blender. I add a little bit of maple syrup and some cinnamon. It cooks up like a crepe and then you can put whatever you want on them. I like peanut butter. They can also be wrapped and eaten as a portable snack later.

I shouldn't be reading this when I am hungry.

[Catrin]

That is usually a bad idea Crankin

Today (full rest day)
B: breakfast frittata/casserole, coffee
L: roast chicken thighs, steamed carrots
S: Coconut manna and a few pecans, stuff is quite addicting!
D: Salad with different types of lettuce, fermented veggies, ham, small amount of home-made mayo as dessert. Small banana for dessert

Tomorrow morning I am heading out early for a road trip, so will hit my home kettlebell herd for a workout first thing. I am unaccustomed to working out BEFORE eating, we will see how that works out - it just streamlines my schedule if I do it that way. I am enjoying being able to follow up with my KB coach's training suggestions at home as well as at the gym. Starting already to train for a competition early next year. I've a long ways to go, but I am really enjoying myself! REALLY enjoying my new coach's style - he is much more like a mentor than a drill sargent. He also knows when to pull me back so I don't hurt myself. THAT is why I need to work with professional peeps!

Have a great time at the wedding, Catrin.
Had half a banana before boot camp.
B: 2 eggs over easy, with salsa, 1/4 avocado, an orange, coffee
L: left over stuffed squash from last night, an apple
S: slice of spelt bread with cashew butter (this stuff is like crack for me)
D: I ate one whole wheat pita chip and hummus while cooking. I made a new recipe for black bean burgers; this was a fail. We ate them, but there was too much liquid, I ended up putting some quinoa flakes in there, along with the 1/4 cup panko, but they still fell apart. Tasted good, but I have other similar recipes. Had 2 of those sort-of patties, roasted asparagus, more avocado slices. 2 squares dark chocolate

S: slice of Machengo, so I wouldn't be hungry while grocery shopping
