I'm adding more protein to my snacks today, to see if that gives me more energy. I considered sleeping in, but I am having 8 hours sleep and eating well, whatever is fighting against me from the inside will just have to stop being a princess and suck it up. I read something on Frida Beater's blog that said too much calcium blocks your intake of iron, so I wonder if all the smoothies are leaving me iron deficient? I'll do the eyelid test when I get home and see. Hopefully the steak last night pumped it up. I have a Skype date with Krissy Krash, Fountain of All Things Holy Healthful, I think she will be able to help me a lot. She's so clever, dammit! Plus I have derby training tonight, which should boost me along. I'm wearing my derby gear under my uniform; I feel like a superhero!
•6:00 Smoothie: whey, banana, Zymil, non-fat Greek yoghurt
•10:30 Apple and 12 almonds (protein!)
•12:30 Chickpea curry with brown rice
•3:30-4 Protein shake: powder + water
•9:00 Something small and protein-ie, maybe a nut bar, for after training.
If I still feel totally dead by tonight I will sleep in tomorrow. That'll men a whole rest day, mid week, because I'm doing normal non-derby non-workout things that night! Eeep! Call a doctor, this lad must be ill!

Whoops, forgot to add the workout!
ReplyDeleteAM: Three-quarters of the Roller Derby Workout DVD - skipped the off skates at the end of the Booty Call and with Punk N D Trunk (no time)
PM: Roller derby practice, 2 hours with Foxy Sox
Ms dodgy - you are right - too much calcium does inhibit iron absorbtion - as does tea (tannins) and caffiene. To improve how you absorb iron - have it with a vitamin C source, so with fruit or vegies and avoid too much calcium about and hour prior and after eating your iron foods!
