Day 9 - Recovering

I skipped my morning exercises today, but good news anyway, my throat is less sore and my fever is gone.

Breakfast
1 whole egg and 2 egg whites [2P]
1/4 cup fat free cottage cheese [1P]
1/8 cup shredded cheese [0.5P/2F] - I need to get some fat free shredded cheese.
1 slice 100% whole grain bread [2C]
1/2 cup canned light peaches, drained [1C]
1/2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil [1.5F]

I plan to do a least one circuit of my circuit training workout tonight, maybe at a lower intensity than normal. I'm hoping that I feel well enough to do both circuits at full intensity, but I'll play it by ear based on how I feel. I don't want to over do it and get sick again.

Lunch
Big salad from the cafe' again. I'm going to stop eating these, they didn't have chicken or ham today so I made do with some cottage cheese, but it's hit or miss it seems.

Dinner
I ate at Bob Evans before heading out to meet up with some friends. I ordered the turkey dinner but subbed applesauce for the stuffing, green beans for the mashed potatoes, got the mixed vegetables for my side (should have gotten the broccoli florets), and water to drink. I told them I didn't want any bread. My waitress smiled and said my order should be up really fast since it was all sides. And so it was. I'd forgotten to tell them no gravy, but I managed to scrape most of it off. I ate half of the turkey and saved the other half for tomorrow. I ate half of the applesauce and saved the rest as well. I ate all of the green beans, but only the broccoli out of the mixed vegetables. The squash was soggy and the carrots seemed like I'd be pushing my carbohydrates too high.

I had intended to work out before going out with my friends, but I ended up working late and stayed in town instead of going home. I'll make up my circuit training workout tomorrow.
