Thanks to everyone who responded about my last “concerning” blog ha.  In regards to that-I have tried to post about everything that goes into my mouth today to show just how much I eat.  It’s also a double grime girl swim practice day-so even better.  I’m going to not use a lot more pictures versus words.

I didn’t add any aspect of I compete at a varsity level in two different sports-not one but two.  Each college sport has it’s own set of practices and rules that I need to follow.  That means I have a set amount of practices I have to do for both sports.  My coaches both understand completely since swimming and running are endurance sports if occasionally I do need to miss one or the other.  Normally it isn’t speed days I miss but just more of cardio days.  It isn’t like I have decided to exercise more because I want to burn more calories (believe me I would burn those babies in my bed sleeping).

Today’s question of the day:  What is your favorite type of boxed pancake mix?

Fiber one. “Just Add Water”

For ½ of mix you have 180 calories, 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber.  My favorite part is 25% of your daily calcium!  The only thing you have to add is water-but adding milk is my route of choice.   Actually that’s a lie.  If you add ½ cup of Greek yogurt and ¼ cup of water you won’t be disappointed either.  I have used this plenty of times and it is really a plus.

Now for my actual food.

I tried a TLC raspberry chocolate bar.  It was pretty good but I enjoy my south beach bars more before practice.  I’m not the the biggest “nut” fan.

 

Practice in the morning:

I haven’t swam since Thursday so it was hard to dive into the pool this morning.

6000 yards

1000 warmup

8X250 Free Interval

200 backstroke

20X50 Free Interval

200 Backstroke

8X100 Pull

After practice I made chocolate pumpkin pancakes.  But you can’t really taste the flavors.  They kind of loss their flavor while cooking.  Needless to say, pancakes are still pancakes and they were still delicious.  I topped with OIKOS Greek caramel yogurt and a bit of syrup.  As always-my breakfast plate is my my yellow plate.

Then off to make up a quiz I missed from Friday and to go to Sports Psychology.  Both were uneventful.  I spent another two hours in the library doing some homework.  During that time I consumed an apple and Greek God yogurt.

I had lunch with Bonna again.  YAY!  I miss her, now that cross country is done, I need to see my friends somehow and when am I not eating?

 

Practice 2:

6800 yards

1000 warmup

12X175 free interval

2X150 backstroke

2X300Free

15X50 Free Interval

Aram made dinner tonight.  With the biggest sweet potatoes in the world.  He made grilled tuna, corn muffins and baked sweet potatoes.  It was delicious.  I am super full now.

 

Question for you:  what are your plans this week, are you busy before the Holidays?

I actually don’t have too much work this week surprisingly.  Being a math major-you have homework or you don’t.  No long term projects or anything.  I’m flying home though a week from Tuesday.  I hope there are no delays.  Anyone know of any good restaurants around Syracuse, New York?   (big thumbs up for pancake places ha:))
