Yanti & Salty Beyond Ridiculous Manatees PART 6--CLOSED (Page 11)

Whelp, that clears that up!

How's the McDonalds? 

jobaxas - 2012-10-24 7:37 AM my training week is f*cked!  So DH has to remain in hospital another night for observation....which sucks for him but on a selfish note my training is a little stuffed   Sorry I have a selfish streak...and I just want him home of course.

Aw, Jo! Poor you and poor Fotis. You know how fond I am of the both of you!

You do have a trainer, though, right? And you can always run in place. And your swim won't suffer a bit from a day or two off.

You're right - ran at lunchtime, will ride in the morning and run again lunchtime.  He should be home tomorrow so I'll get the swim in...it's all good.  Just not cut out for being the one who stays home doing stuff!  I'll tell him you said Hi!

Sure it's the shoes?

Would        like         to         post          more

..... but suffering post traumatic stress from Salty and Yanti's last topic of conversation.

What have you got against camels, then?!

Nothing per se...

in fact the toes are delicious.

Ahhh boy, here we go again.

Anything training related on your mind(s)? Anything? Nothing?

Yeah, I start marathon training in Dec. and plan on slowly ramping up mileage after this recovery week.

I am trying to figure out a few other secondary goals that will help set me up for success. Like maybe working on my diet. I'm pretty good but I think there is always room for improvement. Not sure what else ...

Yeah, and the great thing about veggies is you can eat a ton of them and they generally aren't all that calorie dense. I love vegetables, too so it's not a difficult thing to do. 

I want to improve on cooking a little more bulk on the weekend so that when I am in a pinch I have healthy options rather than easy options (because those are almost always processed foods)

I eat a ton of food these days.

Ah yes! Crock pot season!

I put on my down jacket for the first time last night. It's official!

Stuffed peppers.

I start with a not-fatty, high-quality ground beef (sirloin, etc.), stir-fry with fresh-chopped onions, garlic, tomatoes. You can add pre-made taco or chili seasoning; I just toss in salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, and soy sauce to taste. Then I add a scoop of brown rice. (Quinoa would work great with this, too).

Cut the tops off peppers, cut insides out, stuff with stir-fry mix, pop in the toaster oven for 20min or so.

YUM.

I've decided to keep being a slacker tri-training-wise for the remainder of Oct and try to get back into a more regular routine in order to keep myself in line over the winter beginning in Nov.  Will need to work out a balance with hockey (not too much of an intrusion into the schedule) and Tae Kwon Do if we are able to get class rolling again.  TKD is more challenging to balance training around since that is 3x/week. 

Food focus has begun.  I really am tired of seeing my 'sturdy' self in race pics and feeling like a real manatee around other skinny tri friends.  Plus I know it will be better for my joints and overall health to dump some plump.  And surely I will be faster with less weight to lug around, no?  Really hoping to drop at least 20 lbs.
