My Life in Fruit
Posted by mandy on October 28th, 2009I'm a healthy eater, ironman being a little over a week away doesn't change my eating habits much, save for the fact I'm eating A LOT!
Lots of seasonal fruits and veggies (and a few splurges in there -raspberries) and plenty of carbs, protein and good fats. As y'all know, I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian (eat eggs, milk), but I'm also anemic and b12 defficient. So to combat those deficiencies and the sleepiness they bring, I do a lot of combining of food. OJ with iron rich foods and well, b12 shots don't exactly fall into the food category, but they make me feel better instantly!
Onward for this last bit of training!
