Eating before training

Yesterday my training session sucked! I was getting tired very quickly, was feeling dizzy and weak. I had a lunch an hour before my session, it didn't have any carbs. Just fish and veggies like carrots and broccoli. And due to some circumstances, I had no breakfast. So, my 12 o'clock lunch was the only food I have eaten prior the gym.
 Today, I had 4 eggs for breakfast with celery, coriander and dill, they are my FAVORITE herbs ever! I put them everywhere in abundance :)) And then for lunch, I know! many will judge, but just had no other option... drum roll please!... I had a chicken wrap from... McDonalds :p  I have had a VERY busy and hectic morning with hospital appointments with my daughter and so on... It was the easiest and fastest option... Anyhow
 I was impressed with myself at the gym! I have beaten my personal record! Hehe. It was a back day, started with dead lifts. As usual, for a warm up just a bar 15 reps, then about 50kg 12reps then a few rounds more and up to 80kg. If last time I have only managed to do only 2 reps, today I did all 80kg 8 reps! And managed to do 90kg twice! Yea baby :DDD
 Chicken wrap=POWER! LOL LOL
P.S. Note to myself: NEVER SKIP BREAKFAST!

What I like for breakfast...

I believe breakfast must be very filling. It is most important meal of the day, has to fuel you for the day to come. It's like...your body is a car... For example, you are going to drive from London to Manchester. What do you do? You fill your cars gas tank before you start your journey and top up as needed on the way. You don't fill up your gas tank at the end of your trip, as you reach your destination, are you? So you should swap what you eat and amount you eat for dinner with breakfast. Big filling breakfast with proteins, and dinner should be light.
One of my favorite breakfast, since I have started my training, is : natural yogurt with a spoon of peanut butter and almond butter, all mixed together. I also recently started to ad a scoop of protein powder. Right now I use MP's unflavoured protein powder. The taste of it actually reminds me of dried milk we used to eat when we were kids :)))
