What am I eating?

I didn't take today off seeing as how the gym is closed this friday for the southwest regional crossfit games. Bayou City is sending a team of some of the best athletes I've met, so you can consider me amazed if they don't do very well.

I've actually been eating MORE lately and still dropping inches and a few pounds (172 at last casual weigh in) so I thought I'd write about my day today from a food perspective:

Wakeup:

Protein Shake

Scrambled Eggs with sauteed onions / peppers (I have them in containers in the fridge pre-diced so I can't just throw them in the pan). Take a flinstones vitamin (yes I actually take a flintstones) and a couple of fiber chewable tablets. I decided to add in the vitamins and fiber just today as I wasn't getting enough in my diet. Yes the additional fiber had the effects you assume it does.

Mid-morning snack (If I'm getting hungry): Spoonful of cashew butter (Goal here is to make sure I don't overeat. A spoonful (1-2 tablespoons is more than enough to hold me over till lunch)

Lunch: Puerto Rican Beef (I cooked it for dinner last night, but made enough to eat on throughout the week). Today I also added another protein shake because I was still struggling to recover from yesterdays workout. The protein shake did wonders for me the rest of the day. Also, not that it needs mentioning, but I always finish lunch with a large glass of water (I'm still drinking water throughout the day).

Afternoon Snack: Today I didn't have one, but it would be either cashew butter, or if I can wait till I get home I would have some paleo trail mix OR if I'm being REALLY good I would have some pureed squash or other vegetables in the fridge and would eat those. I try to keep it light because my workout is at 5.

Post Workout: Recovery Shake (progenex has both a muscle building morning shake and a post workout recovery shake)

Dinner: Ginger Chicken with broccoli , onion stir fry, and a small side of avocado. I had some chicken breasts from whole food that were already cooke, so I got the onions cooking, added the broccoli, poured some tamari sauce (gluten free soy sauce) over the sauteeing mixture, then cut up the chicken and dropped it in till it was warmed and ready to eat. The side of avocado was half of a small avocado purely because I bought two this week and don't want them to go bad. Actually turned out quite deliciously. Once again drink a big glass of water before bed.

WARMUP:

15 pullups

10 box jumps

15 OHS

Bear Crawl across the room and back

x2

WOD:

50 burpees

100 Situps

150 Squats

400m run

This workout was hard, but I really felt that I'm improving. I was able to do the squats in sets of 50. I broke down the workout into 3 sets and finished in 16 minutes on the dot (1st place!). This is a great workout if you don't have access to fancy equipment.

And for your viewing pleasure, that's a pic of me performing an overhead squat, just so you know I'm not making all of this up. The weight is a standard 45lb bar.
