I had a great workout at the gym this morning. Perhaps it was a little artificially inspired by (cough cough) caffeine but it FELT GREAT! This marks the second week in my strength cycle, so I worked upper body, and (per my program) was able to increase my mileage to 35 minutes of jogging. Yeah! It feels great. My stamina has not returned to pre-injury stamina but I know that comes with time and persistence, so I am feeling so elated to be running…dang it feels good…
Post workout food is pictured below (not too pretty, but pretty yummy). I actually wasn’t really hungry (for once) but know that I have to eat post resistance training to reap the rewards (by helping the muscles grow through nourishment in this important post-workout window).
Coconut Cake Batter Protein Mash
I mixed:
1 scoop All the Whey Cake Batter protein powder (delicious) with
1 heaping tablespoon of Nancy’s organic cultured lowfat cottage cheese,
2 tbsp rolled oats,
2-3 tbsp unsweetened organic shredded coconut,
1 tbsp egg whites,
1 splash of organic unsweetened coconut water (a natural source of potassium and other essential electrolytes)
I put it in the microwave for 1 minute, then voile! Fluffy goodness. I topped it with a bit more shredded coconut.
