Ann Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Mmm the meatballs sound yummy .. I've never been a big lamb fan, but this just looks soo good, I'm thinking I might have to give lamb another chance. I just Googled the recipe and found it (on the cookbook's author's website), and bookmarked it. Maybe this weekend! http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/2009/03/05/mmmmm-moroccan-meatballs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bets55429 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm not a huge lamb fan either, so I actually did half beef and half lamb. They turned out really well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carie Skeahan Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hi Betsy! Good job on making a goal of getting more veggies in. With regard to your PWS, try a meal sized easily digestible protein, up to a fist-sized portion of carb-dense veggies and little to no fat. Do not use fruit as your primary post-workout carb source, but rather choose sweet potato or yams or squash or pumpkin or beets. Hope this helps… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bets55429 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Thanks Carie - I will definitely try that instead! With regards to an easily digestible protein, do you have any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carie Skeahan Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 You know what…I re-read your log and realized I made an assumption. Does PWS apply to pre or post workout? I am sorry. I assumed you meant post workout and advised you that way. For pre-workout, include a small amount of protein (1/2 a meal size or smaller), and (optionally) a small amount of fat (1/2 a meal size or smaller). Do not add fruit or carb-dense veggies to your pre-workout snack. I workout in the evening and I eat about an hour before I do. My pre-workout snack usually consists of whatever protein I had for lunch and some avocado or some olives. For post-workout, try a meal sized easily digestible protein, up to a fist-sized portion of carb-dense veggies and little to no fat. Do not use fruit as your primary post-workout carb source, but rather choose sweet potato or yams or squash or pumpkin or beets. Your post-workout meal is a bonus meal and should not replace breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is designed to help you recover from a high intensity workout. I like to bring leftover protein from lunch, which is usually leftover protein from dinner the night before and a yam or sweet potato. Basically it comes down to this: pre-wo = protein and fat. post-wo = protein and a dense carb source. As I mentioned above, I workout in the evening, on my way home from work, so I take everything with me when I leave in the morning. My protein is usually whatever I had for dinner the night before, add some olives or avocado pre-wo and add a sweet potato post-wo. Chicken is usually a good protein…grill some up, cut in cubes and bring with you… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bets55429 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Yeah, sorry I didn't clarify - it was actually a PRE-workout snack. Thank you so much, Carie, for the great info - it is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bets55429 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Day 3 started out pretty rough, but ended well! I woke up feeling super tired, groggy and very crabby. However, it got better throughout the day and I didn't even have sugar cravings today - woo hoo! I started keeping a calendar and every day I complete I put a little smiley face sticker. Hey, whatever works.... B= 3 eggs handful of peppers black olives ground beef organic salsa (no sugar added) L= tuna salad with homemade mayo, pecans, jalapenos, black olives steamed broccoli all natural applesauce cup PreWS=beef jerky teaspoon coconut butter D= grass fed beef burger butternut squash with cinnamon & a little almond butter *I also made some ghee roasted nuts to take to my movie tomorrow and was just going to try a few and had a handful, so now I am feeling a little too full...ugh!

Derval Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Lol, I'm thinking of my kids behaviour reward charts Will you get a trip to the toy store when you're done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bets55429 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 LOL, Derval - I know, right? My mom is actually a teacher and she jokingly told me to do it. She laughed when I told her I was really doing it. Hmmm, maybe I do need a trip to my type of "toy store"....like a massage or pedicure?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
