Cautiously carbing up

Given my new "off season for now" training regime of Boot Camp twice a week, heavy full-body weights once, and three sessions of 45-minute cardio, I have decided to increase my carbohydrate intake. Doing this slowly and without suddenly going overboard will be the challenge; me faced with carbs is akin to a vampire faced with a helpless victim...

Yesterday, I added half a sweet potato and cottage cheese to my afternoon salad. Today I spread my peanut butter on a rice cake (so good!) and had that with a protein shake pre-workout. This afternoon I plan to have an apple and more peanut butter with my shake. It doesn't seem like much, but even these clean carbs are already making a huge difference in my energy levels and allowing me to work harder in the gym (and possibly give better massages... I should ask my clients if they notice a difference!) ;)

Now if I can only dodge the bowl of peanut M&Ms that always hangs around the office, I should be set...
