I woke up at 9am this morning and went on a huge shopping trip, picked up plenty of fruit and veg and some other healthy stuff mentioned in that article above.
Grocery shopping in Barbados can be a bit of a challenge at times if you aren't from here, as they don't always have exactly what you want, or if they do it's not always at affordable prices, as everything has to get shipped in to the island. Like I tried to find "spelt" today... no dice. So, I've resigned to the fact that I won't be able to follow any marathon running diet plan I find online exactly to the letter, but I will do my very best.
And it's no excuse for not eating healthy here - there is plenty of good, healthy, fresh, local produce available if one is willing to try new things, experiment, substitute.
DAILY STATS:
Exercise:
2pm - did a short run, 2mile jog on treadmill 235 calories (according to the treadmill screen)
And did this post-run yoga on youtube (was a really great video, felt like my sore legs were getting a massage):

Had 1 piece of brown toast, 2 cups of coffee
12.45pm - late breakfast/lunch, 2 fried eggs, whole wheat toast, baked beans, 3 pieces bacon, mushrooms
1 glass oj
9pm - made popcorn on the stove with salt, butter and Parmesan, and a ginger ale
throughout the day - 3 pints of water** I ate like total shit today! I am going to do better for the rest of the week, I just couldn't be bothered to cook anything today as I had a migraine (I'm sure all the popcorn and fried breakfast didn't help either, but when I feel bad, like most people, I just want to eat comfort food)
Side note: Went to Bathsheba this weekend, the rough east coast of Barbados, was gorgeous. I feel so lucky to be living in a place like this.
