Day 8: Grape Ape!

I think it was an 80's Saturday morning cartoon which used the phrase, "Grape Ape!  Grape Ape!"  And oddly enough, I believe it was called the Grape Ape show.  Anyhoo, I found myself pulling from the roots of my childhood and using this phrase as I prepped for today's meals.  It was "crazy" weighing out food portions.  Grape Ape!  I really had no idea what 140g of vegetables looked like.  Grape Ape!  Breakfast was a whole grain flat bread with 1 sliced hard boiled egg and steamed sweet potatoes tucked inside.  Subbed yogurt for the milk today.  After breakfast, I felt delightfully full.  Grape Ape!  What's remarkable is that I don't feel weighed down or lethargic.  I know, I know it's my first official PCP breakfast but honestly, I feel like I ate good, fresh food with no butter/oil/salt/extra fat effecting the meal.  Grape Ape!  Got my snacks and lunch prepared to get me through the day, but I'm going to have to go shopping tonight because I've got nothing for dinner.  It's tough adjusting to this new routine of prepping/cooking my meals.  I like challenges though.

Today should go by quickly, lots of reports to do and one meeting in the afternoon.  Practice after work.  The volleyball team played their first conference match last night and lost miserably.  Practice should be pretty intense today, with coaches fueled by the lack of effort we saw last night on the court.  The players better come ready to practice tonight!  Then it's off to do the Day 8 workout.  I'm ready for the floor (Hot Chip fan indeed)!
