After workout & dinner

As I posted immediately after my workout I was feeling really weak. I knew I needed to get some protein in my system and replinish some of what was depleated to regain my strength. Usually I would recommend a protein shake or a recovery drink. At this time I can not afford anything extra, so I'm having to do with what I have. I just needed to find some protein to replenish my body. I wasn't hungry, but I knew I had to put something in my system. After drinking a full glass of water, I decided to eat a raw carrot. About mid way through I already started feeling better, wow that was quick. So I grabbed a few slices of my deli sliced turkey and more water. Now I'm back, feeling much better.

For dinner I made roast, potatoes & carrots. Well I don't eat potatoes, if I do it is in very small portions. Starches like potatoes, bread & pastas cause my sugar to spike then drop really quick, which then causes me to feel really sick afterwards. Knowing how my body reacts to it, I just choose to stay away from them. So I stuck with roast and carrots. Very good dinner. For a "sweet" fix, I had some granola. Hopefully my food choices tonight will reflect tomorrow and I will have energy tomorrow.
