Wednesday, January 06, 2010 – 304 days to M day. I had planned on jogging last night but I was invited to dinner with the Campus President. We had a very nice dinner and I had a glass of wine. I ordered a mixed salad with pistachio nuts and dried cranberries and walnuts. And for the main course shrimps and scallops over penne, hold the shrimp. I ate some of the scallops but mostly pushed it around the plate. I ordered a key lime crème brulee dessert. It was ok but more key lime than crème brulee.
I don’t drink often; I think I lead a very boring life, actually. One glass of wine and I didn’t think it was a such a good idea to exercise when I returned to my room.
It was again cold and dark in the Virginia Beach area. The treadmill it was. My brain wanted to jog but my stomach had other ideas. It could have been the dinner the night before. I only jogged about 40 minutes and had to stop a couple of times. Awful!
I can’t call myself a vegetarian because I sometimes crave a tuna fish sandwich or for example last night at dinner with someone I really don’t know, with a limited menu and wanting to avoid a complicated order I’ll stick with scallops…(scallops don’t have eyes). I don’t eat animal meat and fish meat. I do drink yummy milk and eat eggs and cheese. I love cheese. It’s only been a couple of years. I had been cutting back on meat. I’m not even going to being a rant how animals are becoming more bio-hazardous to people and that this is permitted by the FDA. What really got me was a news story with video some might remember of a cow being pushed to slaughter. Poor cow; the noise coming from him, he knew. I understand the food chain and we are at the top of it but I cried anyway and stopped eating meat.
My protein comes from beans and eggs. I know I’m not getting enough. How much do I need for my training? Or do I concentrate on the carbs?
I’m going jogging again tomorrow morning. I have to find a balance between my workouts and my job, which has me on the road often. I think I have to jog in the early morning when I’m on the road.
