Marilia’s Powerlifting Blog

This is Summer Vacations down here in Brazil. I’m working on my computer and training for the new competition calendar, but my daughter is away having fun in the Mountains. Therefore: there is no HUMAN food in the house! What we have now is: 

1. dog food … very important: Rita and Akela are central members of the family and won’t negotiate busy times; 

2. Rabbit food … really important: our white rabbit (name = “little rabbit, pretty huge actually) eats twice his weight in a day I think: 

3. Athlete food … that’s me: pots of whey (Dymatize Elite, rich chocolate), some caseine suppls, eggs, frozen light turkey breast burger, light turkey breast frankfurters, a lot (really an obscene amount) of cheese, many liters of non-fat milk, non-fat milk powder and, in the yard, a cabbage garden (and some other vegetables). 

There is some fiber extract around I got for other occasions. When I think there’s too little of that in the diet I take some. Besides, I have something we call “canjica here in Brazil with milk in place of granola everyday … it is actually corn, white corn, whole corn. Pretty low glycemic index (under 40, no exact measurement … have less than 30g of that, really low carb load:). 

I am sick of light canned tuna and I am too lazy to take the trouble to cook chicken breast. Besides I’m also sick of it. 

Basically, I’m living off supplements (and cabbage). I take a lot (a lot) of whey during the day. And, of course, a bunch of pills (vitamins, C, B complex, E, etc.), chondroitin, bla, bla, bla, the usual plus something extra. 

And you know what? I don’t miss proper food: I think I like this eternal breakfast thing. No real “lunch or “dinner … didn’t have that before, but when Mel (daughter) was around, I kind of made her company. Now I just eat when my stomach says so, which usually hits the 3 hour interval. Except after workout when I really get hungry before that.
