-two egg white omelet with wilted spinach
-1/2 cup cottage cheese
Lunch:
-Whole Foods hot bar, although I can't list everything I got...I stuck to very small portions of the healthiest looking things: sesame kale, green beans, lentils, wild rice, couscous, quinoa, chickpeas. It only weighed 0.5 lbs.
-1 goddamn good banana (read notes)
Snacks:
-2 Indian chakri snacks
-a few tortilla chips with salsa
-the crust off my sister's grilled cheese sandwich (desperate!)
-1 ginger chew
Dinner:
-squid with rice, cabbage salad, and (gulp) fried plantains
-a few chips with salsa
-a few sips of soy oatmeal shake
Beverages:
-2 glasses of water
-small green tea latte with skim milk and a little sugar
-a few sips of a terrible butterscotch truffle martini I made
Exercise: I failed. I attempted to get up this morning and do some of my routines I've learned from my trainer but I was so sore I couldn't push my way through it. I only worked out for about 5 minutes before giving up. I legitimately was sore to the point of wincing anytime I stood up or sat down or went up or down stairs today, so maybe I shouldn't be so hard on myself.
Notes: HOL-Y CRAP, all I could think about this morning was bananas. Bananas, bananas, bananas. Finally at lunch I ate one and it was GREAT! I was suspicious about this intense craving though so I googled "banana muscles" (HA!) and it turns out that the potassium in bananas helps with muscle cramping (which can be attributed to low potassium intake). Read more here. I didn't do as well today...we ate dinner at Irazu and it was hard for me to find something healthy to eat and to avoid the chips. I did a better job at watching my chip intake that I thought I would though. I'm from Texas...gorging on a big pile of greasy chips is inherently part of my culture. All the snacking I did was at night, which I think was a result of not snacking throughout the day. I also did not drink nearly enough water, which isn't good for my poor sore muscles!
