Lunch: A BLT at Spiros, Good company, bad service.
2nd Lunch: A bowl of homemade vegetable and bean soup, a couple biscuits, water.
Supper: See photo - Sautéd garden peas, boiled dill seasoned potatoes w/butter, grilled teriyaki chicken with sesame seeds. water.
Late night Snack: Oven baked nachos and a few homemade cookies, water.
Dirt day: A concept that I read about in a Loren Christiansen book: Fighters body. Loren Christiansen is probably the best Martial Arts writer I have found, He's a good writer, a traditional practitioner, but also a cop so he has the practical point of view on his side too. He is highly recommended reading.
So dirt day is a concept that allows you to have your tasty snack that you crave but keeps your training in mind and your snacking in check. Basically have a day of the week that you allow yourself to have a snack (not a binge). That way when you feel like you want to have something you know you shouldn't (most especially when your training hard for, I don't know.. black belt or a tournament or something) you can tell yourself - 'no, dirt day is Friday after class (or whenever)' . This way your snack almost works as motivation to not snack all week during your training but also acts as a reward at the end of the week for staying on track.
Generally once a week I have nachos and either share some chocolate with Andrea or have some cookies - This is dirt day, the rest of the week I try not to have anything worse than toast and jelly.
