12:21 pm…food is fuel.

So its 12:21pm. What is happening in 9 minutes at our house?I think you all know because CFS is your life therefore you have the training schedule memorized just in the off chance you are going to miss Murph and you want to sneak into another class. That’s right, it is training time and once again I have worked too long around the house and have left myself little time to eat before my ahtletes are upon me. What to do? I know most people would probably survive fine without food for an hour, but just let me give you a glimpse into the odd world called my brain. Here are the thoughts that are wasting my precious 9 minutes of eating time…”I did a 20 minute workout this morning- probably need some carbs to fuel glycogen stores…been running a little bit heavy so don’t want to get too carby an get huge-that would make pull ups and running really hard, but my Total might benefit, wait its summer gotta look hot, wait I’m a CFer I am not aesthetically motivated, wait yes I am I want my wife to think I look good, wait she doesn’t like me to get too skinny…12:22 pm…we are, after all, outside the magic post WOD window where glycogen stores are replenished with out all that insulin response, maybe the carbs shouldn’t be too high…2 blocks sounds good, there are 14 cherries, perfect…12:23 pm…legs are trashed from yesterday’s WOD so gotta have adequate protein for rebuilding…12:24 pm…grass fed animal is ideal, hey there is some left over grass fed ground beef but it only looks like a couple ounces…that is 2 blocks of protein…wait, no its not, 1.5 oz is a block so this isn’t even 2 blocks…should I round down or up?…well J-ro always says don’t get too particular, just get close… we’ll call it 1 block…12:25…need more protein…tuna is great, but it needs lubrication (for lack of a better word), but mayo is so high in vegetable oil, yuck too many omega 6′s…if only I had some of that olive oil mayo I saw at the station the other day…hey that “Nourishing Traditions” cookbook has a homemade mayo recipe that is much healthier…wow it is now 12:25 pm, probably not the right time to try a new recipe…what do I have for good fat? Organic coconut milk is a great source of fat that will taste great on tuna…well great might be an overstatement, but it will do…got the tuna adequately lubricated, but didn’t use much coconut milk to get there, I will die with that little fat especially with only 2 blocks of carbs…lets throw some peanuts on…12:26 pm…4 minutes left to enjoy it…down the hatch…12:30…ding dong…Hey Dave.” You see how interesting my life is? Maybe neurotic is a better term.  By the way…how come with all this thought I didn’t qualify for the Games and my wife did? She eats way more cookies than I do…oh yeah she is super human, I’m not. I guess nutrition can only take you so far. That was a just a side bar. What is the real point? Food is fuel. PUT GOOD FUEL INTO YOUR BODY…EVEN IF YOUR FRIENDS AND CLIENTS THINK YOU ARE A BIT WIERD!
