SLEEP:

• 10:30 pm - 6:45 am (8.25 hrs) - Slept early.  Needed it.  Pooped.    

FOOD JOURNAL:

Breakfast  (8:45 am) - a Loaded Breakfast Burrito from Carl's Jr. and a large unsweetened iced tea with a lot of ice.  Bought a burrito for my husband, but he doesn't like it.  No pic.

Post Workout Smoothie & Lunch (1:45 pm) -  I felt a bit full from the burrito from lunch so I opted to make my post workout protein smoothie my lunch.  Husband ate leftover Dim Sum.  My smoothie consisted of 2 scoops no flavor whey protein, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, frozen blueberries, a banana, water, ice, and some greens powder.  It made about 44 oz.  Yummy.

Snack (throughout the afternoon): - chicharrones con carnes (pork rind with meat) - never had this before.  We were in a Latin market and saw this and my husband said he liked it, so we got some about 1/4 pound, way too much.  Very salty, but tasty.

Dinner (6:45 pm) - leftovers - a bistec, some cilantro lime rice, and some savory lemon chicken & veggies.  It was a lot of food, a whole bowl.  I'm trying not to eat too much for dinner, but failed this evening.

Notes:   I was in Zone 5 for a long time.  This was a high heartrate workout.  I saw the workout and wasn't sure I was going to be able to get through it, but I did and felt fine, except for some shakiness.  I used a slightly heavier weight than Zuzka for the OH Press.  Not a big deal.  I sort of messed up using my heartrate monitor.  I'll get it right next time.
