Diet: Day 4- Morning

"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 4- Morning

I didn't go to the Y this morning, mostly because I was too lazy to get out of bed, but also because I have a softball game tonight, and I'm playing softball all day tomorrow... Going to be sore. Anyways I bought a bunch of organic bananas at Kroger, and a bag of Clementines. Looks like today's menu consist of bananas/clementines/raisins. I'll probably have another cliff bar before my game tonight, we'll see. I've had better performance on an empty stomach though, so I might hold off until after my game to eat my meal.

On a side note, I weighed myself this morning and was 164 lbs. And since I'm going to be running around all day tomorrow I'm going to do some carb loading tonight. I was thinking about those oatmeal pancakes I make every once in a while.
