"What does a warrior eat?". That may sound a bit silly in this time and age, but the question still applies. Nowadays when people think "warrior" they probably think of athletic icons, people they see on television, the gym rat who is always at the gym, and a whole slew of other images of "warrior" that bombard us each and every day. While it may be true that those people are at the peak of athletic excellence, they are often the most un-healthy people out there. Between all the chemicals they put into their bodies, and the nutritionally shallow foods most of them eat, they are really not the ones we should look to for a model of how a warrior eats.

A warrior only eats things that are natural, whole, and nutrient dense. Lots of fruits and vegetables, plenty of plant based fats and protein, moderate amounts of lean animal protein, and water. In short, a warrior only eats things that will help him to be more healthy, and not things that will passively kill him.

Day 3- Morning

Got up at 5 this morning to go to the Y and work out. yay -_-

Since I'm resting for my softball tournament I didn't do my boxing workout (my elbow gets sore if I use it too much, from breaking it a while ago, so I want it to be in good shape for saturday) I did do some HIIT training on the treadmill though, I walk for 4 minutes and speed it up to 10 mph for one minute, then go back to walking. I did 35 minutes of that this morning, then went down and did my powerlifting workout. Deadlift/Bench press/Pull up's. Sufice to say, I feel adiquitly "worked out" ^_^

Not a real exciting menu for today, I had some blueberries left over, and went and bought some raspberries (I've already eaten both of those) so now I'm munching on raisins. Around lunchtime when I start to get hungry I'm going to microwave one of those "microwave sacs" of broccoli. Yum :)
