Ran almost 5 miles this morning, actually it was only 4.45 now I'm looking at my cardio trainer app, maybe another quarter walking to warm up and cool down. 49.10 average of 11:03 min/mile. I followed this with a 75 minute hot yoga class that was very slow moving and full of hip openers, ouch!
Made a pre-workout drink from "Thrive Fitness" before going and I think this made a huge difference in my energy and ability.
1 medjool date
2 cups water
1Tb sprouted buckwheat groats
1Tb vanilla hemp protein from trader joe's (which has sugar added)
1 Tb ground chia seeds
1 packet of electrolyte drink mix lemon lime flavor
Blend in a high speed blender
between workouts I had a third of a Vega Sport energy gel, and another electrolyte drink mix.
Post workout drink almost the same except I used 1 cup coconut water, 1 cup water, and 1 banana, no electrolyte mix, and instead of hemp I used 1 scoop Vega WFO
About an hour later I made another smoothie with 5 romaine lettuce leaves, 1/2 cup of blueberries, 1/2 a banana, a scoop of Vega WFO, and a scoop of Rainbow Light Vanilla Protein Energizer (brown rice, green food, fiber and enzymes).
This held me for a few hours, and then we had our weekly splurge of vietnamese food. Spring rolls with peanut sauce, and 1/2 a bowl of soup with vegetables, rice noodles, and fried tofu....mmmmm
Afternoon snack-1/3 a Hail Mary chocolate coconut tart. I am still feeling like I want to eat! I think I will cook some swiss chard for dinner.
