I might as well add my food for the day while I’m here. I feel like I didn’t do much today, and then I realized that I should have added an hour on the treadmill as well. Oh well, I’ll fit it in somewhere before Friday. Normally I’d do an hour on Thurs morning but my tutoring session has been changed (my choice) to then. Although I should be out early on Thursday so I’ll do it when I get home. So it looks like treadmill time next Saturday.

I skipped the one-arm dumbbell snatch today and subbed in regular push-ups for the side to side ones. I’ve noticed that the elbow only really bothers me on single arm movements, so this seemed like the best alternative. I’m still finding that 90% of the time the elbow doesn’t bother me. Then I’ll pick something up (tonight it was a bottle of ketchup) in an odd way and I get pain. It’s truly annoying.

I also have a workout to log, but I’ll likely get that done after dinner (going to light the BBQ in a minute). This was an attempt at a breakfast bake. I used:

1/2 Tbsp butter

melted it, then cooked:

8-oz mushrooms, sliced
1.5-oz onions, sliced

Used a little salt, pepper and garlic while cooking. Adding in 1/2 cup beef broth and then a few minutes later 1/2 cup salsa, and cooked until fairly dry. I put in into a sprayed 8-inch square glass dish, added 1-1/2 oz shredded cheese blend. Covered the whole thing with:

1-1/2 cups egg whites
3 large eggs, beaten

Baked for about an hour. I cut it into four pieces, and had one piece on a ‘thintini’ (see picture) for breakfast. It was very filling. I plan to cut the egg whites back to a cup, and use only two eggs next time, and will probably chop up a smoked turkey sausage.

It was really quite tasty, and the 1/4 of the ‘bake’ was 196 cals. The thintini was 170, so it wasn’t a bad breakfast. Tomorrow I’m going to toast the bread and then nuke another piece.
