Went to see a part of the Philly marathon this morning. I'm amazed by how many people, young and old of all different shapes and sizes, can run 26.2 miles. And here I complain about 30mins of cardio....

After last night's feast, I'm not very hungry nor in the mood for much variety.

1 scoop ON whey mixed with water

2:30pm:
4 oz marinated chicken
15 almonds

4pm:
1 scoop ON whey mixed with water

1 scoop ON whey mixed with water

9pm:
4 oz marinated chicken
1 tbsp flax oil

Total cals: ~1020 cals (13g carbs, 146g protein, 41g fat)

I'm well enough to start back at the gym tomorrow. Yay!! All this inactivity is eating away at my energy levels and overall spirit...

Perfectly clean day then gets totally ruined because I go out to have a few drinks with friends on the night before thanksgiving.

We start with appetizers including crab pad thai, spring rolls, lobster rolls followed by too many vodka cocktails. I needed to drive home so we stopped by the diner where I ended the night with 3 golden pancakes with turkey bacon. Sigh!

Thanksgiving day for me is going to consist of Indian food - think naan bread and rich curries. Wondering if I should not log in for that day.

I for one would love to see an Indian menu of yummies.

I think it's good to log everything (write it down or post it - whatever works for you) just because you can start to see patterns over the months and long term years it's really interesting and if you keep a diary as to how you feel along with what you choose to eat...well you can learn something about yourself.



I WANT THAT INDIAN MENU DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Have a great Holiday!

I just went to a regular Indian restaurant with two friends, Velvett. So it wasn't a homecooked indian menu or anything fancy like tandoori turkey

OMG, having come from the UK, I'm used to Indian food (the country's number one takeout) and I just love it. Envious Since I've really been taking count of calories, I am STUNNED as to the calorific value of Indian food. Shame.......
