water, lots of water 10:30 1 cutie (tangerine) more water 11:30 and it's time for THE STAIRS. I jog to the Event Center, run up 25 stairs, across the rooftop and down again, 12 times. That's 300 stairs up, and 300 down. I have been doing this now for 8 weeks. 5 minutes jump rope (yes I have to rest a bit). 12:05 is lunch and I have 4 ounces turkey breast, 4 ounces brown rice, 1 cup mixed vegetables (green beans and mushrooms) with fat free balsamic vinaigrette dressing. More supplements.  The water never stops. 1:30 1 rice cake with 1 tsp peanut butter. 1 truffle (one of my staff gave me a whole box of chocolates, they are so good!)  3:00 lunch #2: 4 ounces turkey breast, 4 ounces brown rice, 1 cup mixed broccoli and Brussels sprouts. yes, more water! Leave work at 5:20, home by 5:40 (long day) 6:00 dinner is 5 ounces tilapia, 1/2 cup kabocha squash, 2 cups vegetables (Green beans, mushrooms, green chiles), supplements.  water! I clean up and start getting dinner together for Cooper and David. Cooper's friend is over, they are working on their art projects at the kitchen table. We joke around about what classes to take next year (fashion, so they can be around all the girls). I steal 2 bites of my family's dinner- its shepherds pie (I made) which is beef stew topped with mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese, then baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly. It is stupendous! Get my lunches together for the next day, all the food is cooked, I just need to grab one protein bag out of the freezer, measure out the vegetables and weigh the rice. I have already made egg white/oatmeal waffles for my breakfast. Take off make up, wash face. Update my blog a bit, and check email. 8:30 is my last meal. 1 cup egg whites and 1 cup bok choy with low sugar ketchup and sriracha sauce. 16 ounce glass of water with amino acids, X-Tend, supplements (ZMA, L-Tyrosine) Brush teeth BEFORE I eat 2 tsps peanut butter (see a pattern here?) so I can taste it longer... Sleepy time tea, bed at 9:00. I will read for a little while. I have not had time for TV or anything other than household duties , including food prep and clean up. This is a typical day, I lead a fairly boring life, there isn't much variation. Next week I will recount Tuesday, which will be leg day for me. |

Although I attempt to stick to a clean diet year round, believe me, there are times when I will eat with my family, even prime rib and loaded baked potato! But those days are really exceptions to the rule, this is how my typical day goes.
4:05 am, up and let the cat in. My alarm won't sound until 4:15, but somehow that cat seems to wake me up before it goes off every single day. I get dressed into workout clothes (bra top and shorts), get the paper and read the sports page while I take supplements and my meal replacement drink.
I like Lean 1 chocolate fudge. I add amino acids from Fitness Nutrition ( I take it several times a day), glutamine, beta-alanine and L-leucine.
I am at the gym just before they open at 5:00 am. My water bottle contains X-Tend (Branched Chain Amino Acids) in orange flavor.
