back at the table

Ok, so I missed a few days there. Not to say I didn't eat, but, well, let's just say there were more sausages over the weekend than I normally would like to eat. Also, there was the "forgetting to eat dinner" incident on Monday, which was unfortunately followed by the "play soccer/rugby for two hours with French dudes" incident. I had a very late tuna melt (on a bagel!) last night, but my poor planning (going right from Robillard to Esprit de Corps but not packing a meal) caused me to miss the workout in the morning with Leslie and Sean. I did run though, and I did do the workout this evening.

Which brings me to: pan fried chicken breast with peanuts, peanut butter and vanilla soy milk as a sauce; wild rice that made the water in which it was boiling turn black, and a spinach salad with tomatos, onions, red peppers and avocados. Now I feel like I'm back on the horse.

In response to Leslie's gross-out greens experience, I'd say that 1) yes, bright coloured urine might mean it is not getting absorbed, which could mean that she's just got plenty of good nutrients anyway and 2) you think it tastes bad, but you got the berry flavour! It's really not as bad as all that. I mix it with the protein which gives it a kind of milk-shaky kind of flavour, which is nice. I don't sip it either, I just down it.

I really think the important thing is the green-ness of it, not so much the vitamins. I don't know the scientific basis for it, but I try to have greens at every meal: the Greens+ at breakfast (or in the morning), and spinach (usually) or broccoli at lunch and dinner.

I bought a new organic yogurt today. I mistook it for Activa, the kind I usually get. We'll see what it's like...tomorrow.
