Daytime Fuel

I'm realizing more and more that I like the European way of eating the largest meal mid-day, and eating something smaller for dinner. This morning I had a regular sized breakfast, and a medium sized snack to fuel my workout, plus a bigger lunch to hold me over throughout the afternoon. Eating most of my calories during the day gives me enough energy for my exercise, daily activities, and especially for 5 hours of work today! I just need to get used to eating less at night. I'm going to try another small-ish dinner tonight, and a smaller snack in the evening and see how I feel tomorrow.

For my mid-morning snack I had about 1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese and a handful of grapes

This fueled my 30 minute cardio session- I started by speed walking 10 minutes on a 10% incline, followed by 10 minutes of 6.0-8.0 level sprints, and 10 more minutes of inclined speed walking. After my cardio, I did 15 minutes of arm exercises- I definately need to get bigger weights. I get tired after two sets, but I'm doing 15 reps of each exercises, 2 sets each, and not getting too many results. Maybe I'll try to up my weight and do 10-12 reps/2 sets each exercise and see how that goes!

After my workout, I made myself a big lunch to fuel my day- a hummus sandwich, with 1/4 cup hummus, some greens and cucumber slices on 2 sliced sprouted grain bread; a cup of 0% greek yogurt (Vanilla flavored- I really enjoyed this flavor!), and a juicy nectarine.

I'm all full, and about to go get ready for work. The sun is just coming out... figures!

Have a great Monday all!
