SmarterFitter Daily

This is my attempt to keep a daily food and fitness diary. This isn't Pulitzer-winning writing; these are spontaneous, often hastily written rambles of what I eat, do and learn in my ongoing effort to feel awesome all the time. It may not always be pretty, but at least it's honest. You can find more stories and recipes at SmarterFitter.com.

  • BreakfastSourdough Buckwheat Pancakes with blackberry apple compote, yogurt and walnuts; decaf coffee to drink
  • Lunch: Salad with roasted beetroot, chickpeas, toasted cumin seeds, feta and cilantro
  • Snack: Banana protein smoothie
  • Dinner: A sort of open-faced omlelet with broccoli, yello pepper, red onion, tomato, herbs de provance, parmesan - this is what you do when you want your omelet with more veggies than the egg will permit. Served with sourdough toast and avocado as usual.
  • Dessert: Pear, yogurt and chamomile & vanilla tea.

Energy out:
  • A bit of running but left ankle was sore. A lot of free weights and giving my knee a push with some squats. Fairly sore as a result.
  • Foraging: In lieu of my usual stroll, I spent a fair bit of time picking crab apples and sloe for a guy in London. Not only is he paying me, but these goods will be used by a top tier chef in London. I like the sound of that.
