Lazy Saturday

I knew today was going to be a good day. I just had this gut feeling. I got about 8 hours of sleep before being woken up by a text message. I was refreshed and ready to start the day. Friday was pretty damn good (got an internship!), and for some reason, I've been in a really good mood the past few days. I had my first of many Wahls breakfasts. For a drink, I ground up a little flax seed (ALA omega 3 fatty acids, phytoestrogens, and fiber) and bee pollen (flavonoids, B vitamins, and anti-allergenic stuff), plus some cinnamon (tastes good, controls blood sugar.)

I found out you can cook steak in the microwave, which is going to be valuable knowledge throughout the next 5 months of dorm life. I cut off the visible fat of my little steak and nuked it for 2 minutes. I then poured off the melted fat and nuked it for a few more minutes (it was pretty thin, so it didn't take long to cook through.) I also nuked two Omega 3-enhanced eggs, and plated that with cooked broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus, and raw radishes, zucchini, red cabbage, and a giant leaf of collard greens. I drizzled a little olive oil and N'Orleans Cajun seasoning (just dehydrated garlic, salt, paprika, onion, and red pepper) on top of everything, some lemon juice on the cruciferous and leafy greens. It was all very delicious, and I was absolutely stuffed. My jaw was actually a little sore from all the chewing, but I felt satisfied and energetic for my 1pm racquetball session with my good friend, Mr. Jake Young. The drink I mentioned earlier was pretty bland, but considering my go-to beverage is water, I didn't mind. Anything for health, right?

Since I had a late breakfast and exercise at lunch time, I didn't get to eat much before dinner. I had a post-workout snack of 1/2 of an 87% dark chocolate bar (my vice) and a cup of lactose-reduced Greek Yogurt with a little flax seed and cinnamon, along with a hot cup of white tea.

Dinner was my Ohio Union staple; what Mark Sisson has so eloquently labeled "Big Ass Salad". ~2 cups of mixed greens, green pepper, red and green onion, carrots, chicken, eggs, tuna, radish sprouts, avocado (MUFAs), mushrooms, cucumber, pepperoncini, and walnuts (omega-3s). I topped it off with EVOO (more MUFAs) and cajun seasoning. And after dinner, I sat down with a nice chilled glass of Willy's Brew: Seville Orange Sangria.

A very nice day, lazy on all accounts except the spirited round of racquetball. I finished a comic book, watched a little Arrested Development, did my laundry, and put off homework. It feels good, man. No complaints.
