11:30AM
 4 eggs
2 oz. ham
2 cups milk
2 cups of fruit - grapes, cantaloupe, honeydew
12 oz. black coffee

For sure feeling full after this one.  Probably too full.  I may have just learned when ordering off a menu I should be specific with what I want instead of trying to make the available choices fit my meal plan.  I thought I was going to have a "five block" breakfast when I ordered it.  It ended up being 6 & 4.  I'll just even it out later with fruit and nuts.

It feels good to be "nourished" after feeling so hungry yesterday.  I don't think I overate.

Wanted to work out a little today at the hotel.  I decided I'm pretty much done using elliptical trainers, so I ran instead.

2x:
10 walking lunges
10 push-ups
10 sit ups

1.5 mile run

I ran it in 18 minutes...  Not very fast but it's what I can do right now.

"La Salsa" Salad:
Lots of romaine
~ 5 oz. chicken
2 tbsp avacado
2 cups of tomatoes

1 apple
1 small banana
9 almonds

7:00PM
"Nana's" Salad
Romaine
1 canned pear
~ 5 oz. chicken
a few dried cranberries and walnuts

1 apple

8:30PM
20 almonds
1/2 apple

~ 80 oz. of water

It's hard to eat what I want to eat and be traveling.  I feel like I could have another 3 block meal before I go to bed here but there isn't anything by our hotel except for a hot dog place and that isn't really the "lean" meat I'm looking for.  As a result, I just had a handful of almonds and an apple and I'm going to try to go to sleep.

My feeling is that it is going to be harder to find good protein blocks on the road more than anything.  Fruit seems to be readily available and I can bring nuts with me pretty much anywhere.  Maybe I should try to get some canned chicken breast and canned tuna.  I've always been against canned tuna, but how bad can it be?  I would much rather be eating "Free range uncaged organic chicken that believed in God before it died" but work is work.  I'll look for good sources of protein I can pack.

"Helen"

      3 rounds of:

• 400M run
• 21 kettle bell swings (35 pounds)
• 12 pull ups (I did jumping pull ups)

I did it in 14:26

I've discovered that running is a weakness for me.  The 400M run just gassed me every time, on rounds two and three I walked 50% and 75% of the run respectively.  I'm going to work on running.  I know my lung/work capacity will improve the more I do.

I love KB swings.  They kick my ass but I didn't want to stop doing them.
