Two Days, One Post

There's a dated pop culture reference for you.

Today's Post:
While having coffee, I at this:

Then for breakfast, lunch and more lunch, I had something that looked like this but only in a tupperware container at my desk:

Then I worked at the gym and ran errands after work work.  At the grocery store, I was hungry and tempted by gluten free cookies (see yesterday for why I might be craving sugar).

Got home, roasted some kale and guess what I ate again.  Yep, Moroccan beef and kale.

The yams I bought and am now roasting with ghee and pumpkin pie spice are also going to make their way into mah belleh as well.  They smell divine.

Ps.  Today was a rest day.  It felt good.  Work was also not particularly stressful.

Sleep: 11:30 p.m. to 8:00 a.m - Actually didn't fall asleep until 12:00 a.m. but what I got (8 hours) was solid.


Yesterday's Post
Diet was kind of shite.  Feeling, uh, hormonally challenged.

Breakfast, Lunch and More Lunch was coconut chicken soup.

Then I ate about 12 of these.  SUGAR RUSH!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
                                                                                                              crash

Training was okay.  Squats didn't feel quite as awesome as per usual.  I'm blaming stress.  Today was a stressful day and I was a right cranky sow by the time I made it to the gym.  The gym made it better but, still, being pissy pants doesn't make for good squats.

Back squat (low bar) 1′s @ 235, 245, 255lbs (F)
X 2 @ 90% (225 – F)
X3X3 @ 85% (205)
Good mornings 5/5/5 @ 115lbs
Pull ups 15-15-15 (unbroken yay!)
Sit ups x 50 with 30lbs (unbroken yay!)
Metcon with 4 hspus, 8 55lb swings, 12 pistols – 4 rounds
Unbroken DU’s – 60, 105 (PR), 67

When I got home, I quicky downed some Moroccan Pulled Beef and Roasted Kale

And then went out for coffee and had an herbal tea with cream and honey and a gluten-free cookie. Not so cave girl but yummy.  It was within the two hour window PWO when I was all nice and insulin sensitive and my body was looking to replace glycogen.

Woke up the next day (uh, today as I type this) feeling pretty good and recovered.  But, yeah, as I mentioned in today's post, I was crave-y today and I think it's because I had such a sugar hit yesterday.  And yesterday's sugar hit was all thanks to less sleep, lady hormone timing and a seriously stressful day.

Sleep 12:00 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. - 7.5 hours and not solid.
