04232007

As I lay in bed this morning after the alarm went off (0540), thinking about how much do I really want to spin, I realized that all this blogging has made me very conscious of the fact that I exercise almost every day. And that there was no day off until Friday. No wonder I start to go crazy after a couple days without it. And I did get up and spin.

Then work and a quick mowing afterwards, in case all the rain really happens.

Then yoga. A very restorative class, which sometimes makes me crazy because it's so slow, but this felt good. I was feeling a little beat up from the weekend.

Then a 7 point Canadian bacon, cheese and EGG sandwich on a whole wheat muffin. I went meatless all weekend, really without even planning to. But I got curious about my protein intake, so I added it up for the day. I had at least 85 g, possibly 5 or so more, depending on how many servings of the pasta I really had.

What put me way up was my leftover pasta, with spinach, black bean and tomato. Amazing how much protein that packed. And that it lurks in english muffins, 9 g in the super big Wolferman's original. Guess I never really looked before ...

That's a lot of protein!!! Who knew that english muffins had so much.

Did you have 8 eggs or only one?
