Feb 20 and blood stats - Shane

2 weeks ago, I had some lab work ordered for a physical unrelated to any of this triathlon stuff. I got the results back and decided that it was excellent timing, since it was taken right before I started this triathlon craziness. Note: I couldn't get the HTML to cooperate with me so I just screenshot what this chart is supposed to look like, and posted the picture here:



We'll see where my stats are in 6 months. I figure a much improved diet and increased cardio should bring my LDL to healthy levels. Ok, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Exercise: PT in the morning with the platoon - sprints, pushups, and abs for about an hour, then ran 2.2 miles outside in about 20 minutes.

Post-workout meal: 3 servings of oatmeal with about 3 to 4 tablespoons low sugar peanut butter. No other sugar or anything added.

Other food today:
2 salads (see here for salad ingredients and portions)
1 can sardines
3 eggs
1 apple
1 pear
3 string cheese
1/2 cup black beans with some shredded cheese
3 chicken breasts (disgusting, not buying this microwave crap again, and it probably has trans fat in it)
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 entire package of edamame.

No afternoon workout since the morning PT was mostly running. Oh, and I bought these goggles online today. I should start swimming next week when they come in. Stupid tiny city and its lack of stores.
