Well, this was suppose to be a training update and it was suppose to be written from the comfort of my own private space aboard the Amtrak Auto-train and I was suppose to be 2 hours away from my destination of Clermont, Florida...but mother nature had other plans for me. More on THAT later...ho-hum...

I had a request from a friend to include the calorie count, so I will try my hardest to keep an accurate tally and provide that to you also. I am unsure of what day this food journal came from as I wrote down everything but the date!

Breakfast: cup of white tea, handful of nuts, couple dried apricots, mojito smoothie (oy- BAD choice before a supra-LT bike session), ~1/2 granola (dry) and half a pink grapefruit w/stevia sprinkled on it

1 hour supra-LT bike trainer session, then went straight to one hour HARD masters swim practice-- DEFINITELY should have eaten a snack in between bike and swim!

Post-swim snack: Clif Bar

Lunch: split peas with brown rice and cinnamon sprinkled on top, two dark chocolate squares, one piece of toast w/Earth Balance buttery spread, big handful of Earth Balance Popps.

Snacks: five mission figs with almond butter smeared on them, cereal bowl of popcorn made with EVOO, kale chips

Dinner: acorn squash stuffed with apples, lentils, sweet potatoes, cranberries and quinoa and a side of steamed broccoli

Total calories: ~2250 (give or take 100) Total calories burned that day: ~2300

I didn't include my water intake, but I would bet I fill up my 32 oz. bottle at least three to four times a day
