The half marathon was a great experience and well some of you may be wondering what did I eat?
I think the question is what didn't I eat :-)
The night before I indulged and my running friends and I had dinner out. I splurged and had chicken liver pate with some amazing bread for an appetizer and for an entree of salmon w broccollini (I didn't touch the potatoes on my plate) and drank water. For snacks I packed some healthy blonde brownies ( a Jillian Michael's recipe I'll post another time), bananas and I purchased some raspberries and plain greek yogurt for breakfast the morning of the race.
For the most part I did really well until I starting eating the blondies (they were healthy and packed with protein and complex carbs but your not supposed to eat several at a time). A small square 1 1/2" - 2" was approximately 200 calories and I ate more than one :-).
During the race I had two packets of Gu for a little bit of energy along with lots of water.
After the race I had a beer, cup of hot clam chowder with oyster crackers, small bag of bbq potato chips and 1 chocolate chip cookie. Did I love the potato chips? Not really. I ate them and 1 cookie because I just ran 13miles and I deserved it (stupid mentality BTW)! Was it worth it? NO!!!!!!!
Then when I got home because I didn't eat well earlier I gorged myself on pb, chocolate, cool whip and graham crackers. After all was said and done I lost less than a lb. over the week but I'm over it.
I just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
No matter what!
