Well...today was a big fail both in terms of following the meal plan I am using to make sure I am well nourished during half marathon training AND the actual training itself.
It all started when I was making my "scheduled" lunch. It called for "soup and sandwich" but I didn't feel like soup and I didn't have any bread. So instead I made a quinoa salad - not remotely on my meal plan, but I wasn't concerned.
As the day went on, my legs got more and more and more stiff from the 13K I have run in the past two days. So as I was walking to the bus I made the executive decision that I would take the day off from running. Better to skip and day and be able to carry on with my run tomorrow and the long run on Sunday.
Then when I got home I was super hungry so I made an unauthorized smoothie with banana, strawberry, spinach, cottage cheese, and blueberry juice. I figured it was close enough to my scheduled "snack". For dinner I was supposed to make some sort of chicken pasta with spinach and roasted red peppers. Basically I was hungry (still), didn't feel like defrosting the chicken, and couldn't wait until after I got home from my belly dancing class at 8:30 to eat dinner. So I made perogies.
Essentially I have written today off as an all around fail, so when I got home I had a bowl of pretzles and the last glass of Cream Soda from when I made butterbeer for Harry Potter viewing a few weeks ago. Now, ridiculous as it is, I'm STILL hungry! Jeez. Apparently today is a hungry day.
Note to self: stick to the meal plan/exercise plan to avoid chaos.
