A TT ride for an hour and a half.
yesterday was a little leaner than at first count. 1900 cal for the day.
this morning, i splurged. raison toast in place of regular wheat toast. added to the oatmeal, 800 instead of 600.
lunch, romaine leaves, tsp of lo-fat ranch, tbsp or two of balsamic vinaigrette: 50 cal. bowl tomato soup: 200 cal. about a third of a trader joe’s thin crust individual pizza: 350 cal. total: 600 cal.
1400 so far. i’m making ceviche, and the lime juice is cooking swordfish. i don’t know how it’s going to turn out. i’ve got to dice up some cilantro, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos. trying to decide whether a clove or two of garlic ought to go in there. in any case, it ought to make for the basis of a pretty lean dinner.
i’m realizing that i’ve got to add one element to my diet. i’m going to have to “splurge” a bit, i think, probably twice a week, and add perhaps 500 calories, in order to stick some red meat in there. it’s pretty hard for triathletes to absorb enough iron if they aren’t eating red meat. every trial i’ve ever seen to keep from anemia without red meat has not met with great success, if one trains for triathlon at a reasonably high level.
so, i think once or twice a week i’ll raise my daily caloric intake to 3000 so that i can allow myself a healthy slab of beef. i’ll probably time that to coincide with a good-sized workout day.
still sick, so no training again today (to go with yesterday).

Guys: best of luck. I don’t have the guts right now to put myself on the line like you are doing. Maybe with tax day now past I might put a toe in this water (I work in finance/tax). I am at 204 this morning wanting to be at 180 by October 1. Of course “wanting” and “doing something about it” are two completely different things.
Best,
Paul
