My body for life meals- Thursday
I felt like I didn’t have 6 mini-meals, but 6 MAJOR meals today! I’m OK with it though, because this morning Eliece and I biked 12 miles and ran 5 miles. We have a triathlon coming up mid-May.
So, before the workout, I doubled my breakfast. 4 Egg whites (with mushrooms) and oatmeal with milk and strawberries. (I think I forgot to take the picture of the oatmeal.- weird!
Then, during the run, I had another EAS bar.
Then, as soon as I got home… I was famished of course. I ate chicken, sweet potato, carrots, and strawberries.
2 hours later, hungry already, I decided to make another one of the protein puddings. Fat free-sugar free pistachio pudding, mixed with 1% milk and 1 scoop protein powder. This is one of the few ways I’ll eat protein powder. I HATE it in oatmeal. I don’t think I could ever drink it mixed with water. But pudding and smoothies are my only way I can stomach it right now.
About 4pm, I ate a whole wheat tortilla with turkey, avocado, lettuce, tomato and fat free cream cheese spread. IT WAS YUMMY!!
And last but not least, another reprise of yesterday’s salad because I loved it so much. I had greens, sliced almonds, chicken (2 tenderloins), strawberries, and olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette.
Then for dessert.. I ate a scoop of peanut butter with chocolate chips.. OOPS.. It was worth it. 
OK, finishing up.. these actually don’t look like big meals. I perceived things way differently while I was eating I guess.

My friend and I did one last year. We just do the sprint triathlons… 3 mile run. 11 mile bike, and I can never remember how long the swim is.
I whip the three egg whites in a bowl first. I never save the yolks. I would have sooo many yolks, I wouldn’t even know what to do with them all.
Glad to see you’re back to your old self

Amy,
super impressed with the triathlon! Wow.
For your pudding smoothie, do you use a whole pkg of pudding for one smoothie? Not a big pistachio fan but mmmm…thinking chocolate (always!)

Dear Amy, wow, what a spread! I am jealous of all the delicious food you got to eat today! But you sure earned it! I can’t even imagine doing a triathlon! Scoop of peanut butter with chocolate chips…totally worth it! That is my kind of dessert, right there. Also the oatmeal. I just LOVE oatmeal.

A tri-athlon! Awesome! Have you done one before? When you cook your egg whites, do you whisk them together then cook? Or? Do you save the yolks for anything?
Totally impressed.
