New Task: Food for Athletic Performance

Nope, I didn't get back on task in Summer 2007, but I'd like to change the tone of this blog to one of food and crafts. Two areas where I've been focusing my time. Part food journal, part crafty documentation.

So on to it: here's the first food journal post.

Archival Clothing and I have been talking a lot about what we should eat for performance athleticism, but also still enjoying culinary sanity (aka, no goo diets with processed food replacements). Finding resources specifically geared towards women isn't that easy. I think I might use Runner's World magazine's tips as a big reference, since they are usually realistic and keep the focus on real food.

Tuesday for dinner: Panko Chicken (chicken breast dipped in dijon and breaded with whole wheat bread crumbs) with Kumquat Cranberry Chutney and a big salad.

Wednesday: Collard Greens and Chicken Enchilada Caserole and a salad. This was a bit of a splurge, but a great way to incorporate hearty greens into a meal that I will definitely bring as a lunch leftover.

Basic goals this week: eliminating chips and chocolate as an mid-morning or afternoon snack and consistently going with fruit, nuts or cheese.
