Workout and Meals 6/10/09

Got up to a foggy and misty rain kind of morning here. I went to the gym to do my sprints and rocked it!

Here's how the day went:

a.m. - workout - treadmill sprints 3 min walk followed by 1 min sprints 8 - (2) 10 mph, followed by 2 min recovery walk at 3.5 mph, then walking the last few minutes. 2.5 miles in 30 mins.

1. on the way home from the gym - syntrax nectar protein drink
After shower - lots-o-vegetable green drink, 1 tablespoon flax oil, organic coffee w/1% organic milk

2. chobani plain greek yogurt, large handful of blueberries, serving of almonds

3. 2 egg white, 1 egg omelet w/ few tablespoons salsa, 1/2 of an avocado, mandarin oranges

4. organic cauliflower, and sugar snap peas w/3 tablespoons hummus

5. shrimp cocktail (about 4 oz cold shrimp w/cocktail sauce), spinach salad w/beets, feta cheese, EVOO and balsamic vinegar

6. cottage cheese snack pack, 4 sliced strawberries, nut and seed crunch

In the last few weeks I've eliminated the protein shake before bed and replaced it with cottage cheese and nuts. I wanted to incorporate more whole food choices and get away from relying on protein shakes. I do like the post workout shake in the morning because of the convenience so that will remain.

Over the hump, and into the home stretch! Lifting tomorrow morning.

  1. Hi Julie!
    Looks like a nice morning of running your tail off! Does "by 1 min sprints 8 - (2) 10 mph" mean 2 sets of 8 sprints at 10mph? Or 2 at 8mph and the rest at 10mph? Sorry, I'm a bit frazzled right now...

    Also, what flavor Syntrax Nectar Protein drink do you recommend... based on your routine, I think I'm going to get some for myself!

    Thanks!

  2. Hey Fred! I did 1 minute sprints starting at 8 mph, then increasing to 8.5, 9, 9.5, then 2 of them were at 10 mph. I know I write them kind of confusing.

    I love the Syntrax Nectar lemon tea flavor. If you like lemonade that is good also. Crystal sky flavor tastes like fruit punch and is yummy. I have tried many protein powders and this one can't be matched for taste. It's about 90 calories, 23 grams of protein per scoop and no carbs. Most important it mixes REALLY well! I usually pick them up at Vitamin Shop.

    Let me know how you like it!

  3. Thanks for the info onthe Syntrax Nectarflavors...I'm going to try and find some later this afternoon. Have no doubt I'll like it more than the Trader Joe's brand I currently use!

    10mph is FAST! (Been there a couple of times but only for about 30 seconds!)

    Have a terrific weekend!
