Graham of a Day

Non-traditional. For breakfast, I had cereal. But with the theme of non-tradition, it was delivered to my muscles via my Blender Bottle. Rather inefficient, yes. But convenient for travel, also yes. The milk was vacated from the bottle much quicker than the little pieces of cinnamon cereals, but it all worked out in the end. 

I knew today would be a leg day at the gym, and that I didn't get much sleep last night, so I wanted some fast carbs before my workout. What I settled for was also a little non-traditional.

Graham crackers provide the perfect blend of flavor, instacarbs, and portability that I'm looking for in an effective pre-workout snack.

I had a scoop of brotein after my workout to rebuild my ravage leg muscles. 

I came home and searched for some more fast carbs. I didn't want to eat more graham crackers, because variety is the spice of life! What I found, though, was even better. 

Italian bread. Such simple a pleasure is the ultra soft, fluffy, white bread, sucrose analog goodness that I could not resist eating three slices. I didn't even liberally slather them with butter. I ate them raw, and I enjoyed them in their most basic form. I cherished every bite, knowing that the pleasureful taste would so quickly end up in my muscles.

I attempted some homework, but after a solid five minutes of attempting, I found myself in the midst of a decent three hour recovery nap. When I awoke, I felt refreshed. But I was hungry, and, more importantly, in need of some serious gains to rebuild the large (in theory) muscle groups that make up my legs. 

I found some homemade Chinese style chicken and mushrooms. I proceeded to eat two very full bowls of the stuff. It was another perfect blend of taste and gains. It really doesn't get any better than tasty gains. But, alas, I was still in need. I delved into the depths of the refrigerator and, lo and behold, discovered the remnants of ye olde lasagna of yore.

This was just what I needed to top off my gains and recovery for the day. But not really.

I got back to my workout day tradition. You know, the tradition.

A combination of chocolate almond and chocolate moose tracks ice creams sent me off to gains lala land. Sweet dreams.
