My boss actually called me out the other day on my cheese eating habits. I guess it’s hard to miss the fact that I had 2 types of cheese with my lunch and another as a snack. This did not include the cheese on my breakfast sandwich and anything that might have been in dinner that night.
Who eats 4+ servings of cheese a DAY? Me, that’s who. It seems to be getting out of hand but I’m not sure I really want to rectify the situation. I can easily justify that the calories and fat are well within my daily allowances. And who doesn’t need the calcium and protein? Since I’m not a big milk drinker most of my dairy intake is in the form of cheese and yogurt.
So what do you think? Cut back the cheese eating? I’m a huge fan of all things in moderation but I think that I’ve definitely passed that point. *sigh* I suppose I’ve answered my own question.
On the exercise front I’ve been really sticking to my workouts and enjoying them. I’m managing six days a week and don’t feel tired or burned out. I’m sure I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. This running only 3 days a week, plus cross training and weights is really working out for me. My mileage is almost back to where it was when I was running 4-5 days a week.
This mornings run:
Nothing exciting. At least I managed sub-12:00 minute miles. It was 81* with a dew point of 74*. Ugh.
And when I say that I get up EARLY to run in the mornings this is what I mean. Hit the streets at 4:08 this morning.
6 miles is just about the longest I can manage time-wise on a morning run during the week. My marathon training plan calls for mid-week runs that top out at 10 miles. I’m still working on the logistics of that.
Hair appointment tonight! Time for these roots to GO. I wish I was brave enough to try something different but I know I’ll just end up telling her “The Usual”.
So, what’s the one food that you can eat multiple times a day?
Yay for cheese – I probably average at least 2 servings of it everyday too! I know so many women who don’t get enough calcium, so I’m glad you are getting your dairy.
Especially as an athlete, you need to keep your bones strong and get enough protein too. Anyhow, enough of my nutrition soapbox…
Great job on the run in spite of the humidity! I’m sure it’s not easy to keep running during a TX summer.
I am a big cheese eater also. I usually have at least one serving of “regular” cheese plus 1-2 servings of cottage cheese. I think cottage cheese if my favorite kind. Since our big move I have had to spontaneously cut the cheese out of my diet as most of it is not pasteurized here. I’m mourning the cottage cheese just a little bit.
