How 'bout something boring to eat?

Pounding a long in sand. That is what the run felt like this morning. Never has 15 minutes been such a crapper. In fact, the entire 45 minutes seemed Draconian. I spent 15 minutes on the treadmill, 15 minutes on a Life Fitness elliptical machine and 15 on a Cybex Actrainer. All of them felt medieval. Maybe I didn't eat enough yesterday. I hope that is all it is. Crap.

First things first though. I trained back this morning. The weights felt lighter, which is one of the reasons I find myself a little baffled at my lack of energy during cardio. Anyways, onto the meals.

Meal 1: Seven ounces of chicken breast, noodles and broccoli.

Meal 2: Flank steak, noodles and mixed vegetables.

Meal 3: Meal replacement shake; one cup of peanuts.

Meal 4: Seven ounces chicken breast, and spinach.

I'm a little short on the meals again. I have to get that fixed or my gains are going to coming to a painfully sudden halt. Aside from that, I feel pretty good. I am getting a little stronger each time in and so I'm picking up some muscle. I hope that is what it means.

If that is accurate, it also means that my weight loss is going to slow. Muscle carries some weight too. Oh well. I will see on Saturday morning.

Speaking of Saturdays. I don't really have any cravings, maybe the result of a summer spent satisfying cravings, but I am getting sick of the meals I'm eating. Egg whites, chicken, turkey, fish and steak. I know there isn't much else when stripping fat, but the monotony is stripping me of my sanity and appetite. I almost don't want to eat. I think that was my problem today. There was a time when I would rather be hungry than eat. I am hopeful that this, like most other things, will pass.
