I tore up both of my tendons pretty good during the race. Going up and down my stairs really hurts.
No celebration Coke after the race though. I had Pedialite and Coconut water and came home to have a whey shake and later a garden wrap (salad in a low carb / low calorie wrap, dressing is mustard.)
I really truly want to learn to eat better. It's hard when I have to feed the family too - I can't just say - "mushroom burgers" and not get lynched.
But anyway...I'm trying the Low GI Diet which should also be known as the, "don't eat crap food and you'll probably weigh less diet" -- which is more just DUH and less dieting. Some of the parts of the diet I disagree with because new research on egg yolk and coconut oil show they're very healthy for you and okay to eat but they are 'red light' foods on the diet.
Fat is really important to the body so I'm actually supplementing it because I don't have much of it in my diet. I have flaxseed oil, coconut oil, and fish oil. I can take a few supplements with my shakes. I mix my shakes with flax fiber.
My strategy now is: FIBER-PROTEIN-FAT and ixnay on the sugar and processed foods.
I have these BECK diet books now about changing your brain and how you think about food in order to overcome cravings and falling back into old habits. It uses CBT psychology techniques that are very progressive and effective.
With my brain injury its hard for me to hold on to information but I can keep habits as long as I do them DAILY. If I skip days I'm in trouble.
