Sunday January 15, 2012

I took Sunday off from working out since I already did five WODs this week, plus I had to work a double and with the Giants playing, it was going to be a long one.  Today's post is short and simple.  I worked, I didn't work out, I got 8 hours of sleep, I didn't drink and I had me some Omega-3...My score for the day was - 19.....Here's what I ate
.
Meals
1.  One bowl of "Ray's No-Oatmeal"

2.  One hard boiled egg w/ fresh home made roast beef slices wrapped around.
     -banana berry smoothie (water) w/ spirulina.
3.  Apple and kiwi.
4. Two bundles of home made roast beef wrap.  (Sauteed asparagus wrapped with fresh roast beef.)

5.   Same meal from Friday night

6.  Home made flax crackers and home made salsa.

1.  Mash banana in bowl to a "creamy"consistency.  Add ingredients.  Eat.

1.  Soak flax seeds for 2 hours.

2.  Drain and rinse flax seeds.  They will feel a little sticky or slimy.  

3.  Mix seasoning and sesame seeds in. *(other seeds can be added).

4. Spread out in a thin layer on dehydrator sheet.  Dehydrate at 160 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 4 hours and until sheet cracks.  (Alternatively, you can lay in a baking sheet and bake at low temperature.  You will have to check back regularly to make sure they do not burn.

**Cooking at a temperature of 160 or lower will help to retain all of the ingredients nutritional elements.

Quick Roasted Pepper Salsa

5 canned plum tomatoes (Fresh is preferred)
2 green bell peppers

5.  Sweat onions in ban with a little avocado oil.  Mix w/ mixture.
