6WC: Day 1

Day 1 of the 6-week challenge was relatively easy since my motivation is still high. I had a slight breakdown this morning though. I had forgotten my green smoothie I had planned on drinking for breakfast at home so I needed to get something to eat for breakfast. I was starving after my morning workout and went to a nearby Trader Joe's. Although I was highly tempted to buy junk food (everything looks good when you're hungry!), I stayed the course and bought only what I came for.

Breakfast ended up being a bag of frozen vegetables and a can of garbanzo beans from Trader Joe's. Lunch was some leftover stir-fry (made in an ETL way) over raw romaine and carrots with some sunflower seeds and a fruit for dessert. For dinner, I had a date with the fiance, but we went to a vegan friendly Mexican restaurant where I was able to get steamed vegetables and a whole wheat tortilla with salsa.

The holiday weekend is coming which I am slightly apprehensive about but I know I can do it because I'm committed.

Just Say No

Five days into Beck and I'm already feeling better. I'm using it in conjunction with ETL and so far, I've been able to talk back to those negative thoughts. Yesterday I did a club race which is always fun but they also always have TONS of food afterward. Not just any food either... it's loads of gourmet pizzas, pasta dishes, and salads from yummy local restaurant. Usually one of the members brings some homemade desserts as well. I can usually resist store-bought desserts (I'm a food snob, ok?) but homemade dessert? It's tough to resist temptation when it is sitting right in front of you.

But I did the race, packed up, and left immediately so I wouldn't be tempted to eat anything. Luckily I wasn't very hungry anyway and I just made myself a healthy dinner when I got home. Today I went to the usual bagel shop with some swim buddies and also managed not to have any bagels. At lunch time today, I skipped the usual pizza (my company always goes out for pizza -- on the company dollar -- on Fridays) AND resisted an invite from coworkers to join them at a nearby sandwich shop.

And then at 5 pm, when I started feeling genuinely hungry, I resisted eating and buying junk food while at the market, even though it meant making dinner at 7:30 and eating at 8 pm.

I am on a roll!

And I'm also giving myself Credit a la Beck. :)

1. green smoothie: 2 oranges, 1/4 lemon, 1 T flax, 8 oz bok choy

2. salad: romaine, baby carrots, 1/2 cup black beans, cucumber, green velvet dressing + 1 banana

3. salad: broccoli, napa cabbage, carrots, sweet pea dressing + fava beans (SO good!) + 1 cup cherries

4. run: 0:45, weights: 0:45

May 11

My smoothie this morning was bitter and I didn't enjoy it. I wonder if a seed got into the mix. I am feeling much better today and more positive. I was feeling retched Sunday and a little yesterday. I have to remember that I won't be perfect but I can try to do the best I can. This is hard for the perfectionist in me.

I know ETL says "no snacking" but I am having a hard time dealing with the time between lunch and dinner on days that I have a second workout. I typically get hungry around 12-1 pm for lunch but I can't get to the pool until after 6 pm to do the workout, which usually means dinner isn't until 8 pm. I've been having a small snack around 5 pm because of the psychological need but I also wonder if I really need this. 8 hours seems like a long time to go without food and especially when you throw in having to do a workout near the end.

1. green smoothie: 1 large orange, 1 small apple, 1 T flax, 8 oz kale

2. salad: romaine, baby carrots, 1/4 cucumber, 1/2 small avocado, dijon pistachio dressing

3. trail mix

4. salad: spinach, kale, carrots, with green velvet dressing + 2 servings berries/cherries blend

5. bike: 0:50, run: 0:30, swim: 1:00

May 7

It's way past my bedtime. Just typing this up briefly before I turn in for the night. I did great today. The big challenge was to not overeat AND not eat non-ETL foods at the work potluck today. I mostly succeeded at that. I had a very small piece of fish that one of my coworkers caught locally. But I didn't eat: burgers, pizza (seriously - who brings pizza to a potluck?!), chips, potato salad, deviled eggs, cookies, pie ...

And - I got in my second workout this evening... usually it's tough to get mentally focused to workout Friday night.

1. green smoothie: 1 orange, big handful of strawberries, 8 oz mixed collards and romaine, 1 T flax seed

2. salad: romaine, baby carrots, 1/2 cup pinto beans, 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 small avocado, dijon pistachio dressing + frozen grapes

3. (work potluck): 1-2 oz white sea bass, edamame, (thank goodness for the veggie platter): snap peas, grape tomatoes, baby carrots

4. salad (HUGE): broccoli, cabbage, spinach, carrots with 1/2 serving sweet pea dressing + 1.5 cups pinto beans + 8 oz mixed berries and cherries

5. bike: 1:00, bike: 1:10

May 5, 6

I was at the Boy's house last night and got back too late to log. Definitely some mindless eating yesterday shortly after lunch though. I didn't get enough sleep the night before and I can tell I wanted to eat even though I'm wasn't really hungry. I was just looking for something to do to keep me awake at work. I had also found a fruit and nut bar in my desk drawer around 11 am and quickly consumed it because I was feeling hungry again and wanted something before going to the gym at lunch. I don't feel too guilty because of course it could be worse and I am proud that I still went to the gym. Often, I would have given into temptation and then think that I've already blown it, and continue down the wrong path for the rest of the day (and not exercise)... here's yesterday's food:

1. green smoothie: 1 orange, big handful of strawberries, 8 oz mixed collards and parsley, 1 T flax seed

2. fruit and nut bar

3. salad: romaine, baby carrots, 1/2 cup pinto beans, 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 avocado, dijon pistachio dressing + 3 loquats + 10 Chinese dates

4. small 1.5 cup salad: broccoli, spinach, cabbage with rest of the orange-peanut dressing; then at Boy's house: 1 can kidney beans + 1/3 bag frozen spinach + 1/2 beer

5. swim: 0:50, weights: 0:30

We had to run a 5K for the track workout today. That was very tough for me. I got lapped not once but TWICE by the fastest guy. My time was too horrible to even mention. I had a heart-to-heart discussion about it later with the coach. He told me it's all in my head. He thinks I'm not mentally where I should be and that I don't believe in myself. He says he's seen me run fast at practice but I'm not racing like that. I am capable of more. When he said that, I felt like crying.

He wasn't being mean, just honest and trying to be helpful. He gave me some things to work on. Our training group is small so I feel like a lot of times there is no one for me to run with. It is either the older, heavier men or the super fast girls. There are super fast guys as well but they are so far out of my league I hardly see them (except when they lap me more than once!). Coach thinks I should be able to run with the super fast girls. Or at least TRY to. He wants me to chase them down and hang with them as long as I can, even if it means burning out later. So that's the goal... run fast to get fast.

Today's food was not great. No bingeing, thankfully, but lots of snacking and not the right kind. I definitely overate as I feel very full now.

1. green smoothie: 1 orange, big handful of strawberries, 8 oz mixed collards and parsley, 1 T flax seed

2. salad: romaine, baby carrots, 1/2 cup pinto beans, 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 avocado, dijon pistachio dressing + 10 Chinese dates

3. clif bar

4. Great Greens + 1 cup fresh fava beans + soy crisps (1/2 bag!!!) + a lot of dried fruit

5. run: 0:50, swim: 0:30

May 4

I'm feeling much better today but I'm still not sure what happened to me yesterday. I was mostly ETL today, except for the 4:30 pm bagel. I was very hungry and knew I still had to workout and probably wouldn't eat dinner until after 8:00 pm. Part of it was probably psychological... I just don't know if I can wait that long without food. It's silly really. Of course I can wait! And then the other part of me is wondering how I am ever going to be able to exercise while hungry. Another silly thought. I had plenty of food for lunch and should have been fueled.

When I think about it longer though, I probably could have used a little more fuel at lunch time. Maybe a cup of bean soup or some fat. The healthy slaw is just vegetables and an apple.

1. green smoothie: 1 orange, big handful of strawberries, 8 oz mixed beet greens and parsley, 1 T flax seed

2. big serving of healthy slaw, about 4 cups

3. whole grain bagel

4. salad: romaine, broccoli, carrots, with orange-peanut dressing + Great Greens

5. bike: 0:50, run: 0:25, swim: 0:45

May 3

I felt really off this morning and more so in the afternoon. I almost threw up a few times (dry-heaving) but I'm not sure what's wrong. I ended up sleeping immediately once I came home and had a nice 2 hour nap but when I woke up at 9 pm was hungry. At least I feel a lot better. Hoping that was just a weird fluke.

1. green smoothie: 1 T flax, 1 orange, strawberries, 8 oz bok choy

2. a large serving of healthy slaw

3. (very late) at least a lb of cauliflower, cooked with salt-free seasoning

4. swim: 1:00

Oops, my posts disappeared

I didn't intend the break in posting, but was frustrated with blogger when I had drafted some lengthy notes and then poof! Gone. It is my own fault but I didn't feel up to writing everything again so I took a break.

That was a mistake. I ended up off-track. It started on Saturday afternoon and didn't stop until last night. I feel like I keep going through the same good/bad cycles. I am frustrated and discouraged. I'm not sure how to keep momentum going. I know what to do and typically feel motivated enough to eat well for a few days and then... I'm not sure what happens. But once I've gone off-track, I end up thinking I've blown it and should just go ahead and eat everything I've been thinking about for the past few days now. And only when I'm filled with self-loathing and have hit rock bottom am I able to pick myself up again.

I need to work on my mental skills. It's not helpful to let myself spiral downward into despair. I have to catch before it gets to that point. Maybe time to incorporate Beck again?

1. green smoothie: 8 oz kale and cauliflower stems, strawberries, orange, grapefruit, 1 T flax seed

2. salad: romaine and kale, 1/2 cup pinto beans, 1/4 large cucumber, 12 baby carrots, 1/2 lg avocado, orange-peanut EFH dressing

3. green smoothie: 8 oz kale and cauliflower stems, strawberries, orange, grapefruit, 1 T flax seed

4. swim: 1:00

A Long Day

I tried to do something nice for a friend by organizing a birthday breakfast this morning for her. The usual gang was invited but NO ONE SHOWED UP! I am somewhat irritated, especially at the two people who told me they'd be there but then bailed at the last minute. Oh well. I had a lovely breakfast with just the birthday girl and myself. She had brought leftover chocolate mousse cake (her actual birthday was earlier this week) from a high-end bakery to share. Fortunately, I was able to get her to pack me a piece to go (which I won't eat) but I wasn't quite able to escape her making me taste a bite of it before she cleaned the knife. It's not a big deal, but I'd rather abstain since things like this only keep the sugar addiction alive.

I wasn't planning on doing a swim workout today but decided to go the pool anyway in hopes of persuading more swimming buddies to come to breakfast. Obviously, I was unsuccessful. Because I've been on a streak this week with getting in all of my planned workouts, I didn't want to break it by swapping a swim and skipping the planned bike workout. So I got up extra early (4:30 am!) to get in both the bike workout and the later half of the swim workout. I am tired. And the only reason I am still awake now is because I'm supposed to pick up friends from the airport tonight. Their plane arrives at midnight.

It was a fairly good day of eating. I was truly hungry around 5 pm and knew I had to go home and do a second bike workout so I ended up rifling through my gym bag to find a snack size clif bar. Not ideal but it did the job.

1. Starbucks oatmeal with nuts + 1 bite chocolate mousse cake

2. salad: romaine and Russian kale, 8 baby carrots, 1 cup garbanzos, 1/2 cucumber, orange-peanut EFH dressing + 20 grapes

3. snack size clif bar

4. salad of raw veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, 1/2 beet) with sweet pea dressing + rest of the Great Greens

5. bike: 1:10, swim: 0:30, bike: 1:10

Pseudo-Panics

The Gaggia broke down today at work and people were freaking out. It was an all-out panic I tell you. "What am I going to drink?!" "Where's my coffee?!!" For humor, someone removed the machine and replaced it with bottles of Tylenol and Advil. It was funny (to me, at least) but also interesting to see how addicted everyone is.

I slipped a bit yesterday and had a few cookies (whoops) but am back on track today. It was pouring rain this morning so the group run was canceled and I was left to do the written workout Coach had given me. It sounded pretty innocent (simulated "hills" on the treadmill) but after the first set, I was wondering if I'd make it through the whole thing. Also, my iPod's battery died during the warmup which meant I'd be stuck staring at my goofy face in the mirror during the hard part. Usually the only thing that keeps me going on the treadmill is music. What now?! Now who is panicking?

But stuff like this is good for me. It's not like I listen to music during a race. And I got through it just fine.

1. green smoothie: 1 orange, 5 strawberries, 8 oz mixed cauliflower stems and bok choy, 1 T flax

2. salad: 1/3 lg romaine head, slice red pepper, 1/2 cup garbanzos, 13 baby carrots, orange-peanut EFH dressing
   + 2 lemon treats

3. salad: cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage with sweet pea dressing + Great Greens
   

4. run: 1:00
   

I refuse to give up on April

Did I say I was going to start logging my food intake again? I meant starting today. :) Sorry, I was suffering from not-enough-hours-in-a-day syndrome. I get support from two different online groups plus try to blog here which does take some time. But if it will keep me on track, it is worth it.

I can't say I had a good weekend. I binged. I won't go into the details but it wasn't good. Onward though... as of yesterday I'm back on track. I got my workouts in today which is a big deal. I have been living in Slacker City for the past few weeks, skipping workouts and sleeping in. That is very unlike me. I missed 4 of them last week! But now I'm three days in a row of being on track with my workout schedule.

There were a lot of temptations today at work. People bring in food occasionally, but today three different people brought something! And I work in a small company! There were 2 boxes of doughnuts and two different cakes. I was early enough to see the sugar mess. I have to admit that I was very tempted for a moment to take a piece of something. I quickly left the room and didn't come back until everything was gone. My willpower is not that strong but hopefully one day it will be.

I've also decided this week is motivation week. When motivating is waning, it's important to remind myself why I'm doing this. So every day this week, I'm going to list one reason I'm eating this way.

Food for today:

B - green smoothie: 1 orange, 5 strawberries, 8 oz mixed cauliflower stems and bok choy, 1 T flax

L - salad: 1/3 lg romaine head, 1/2 red pepper, 1/2 cup garbanzos, 13 baby carrots, orange-peanut EFH dressing + 1 pomelo

D - salad: cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, strawberries, grapes + small serving of Great Greens

April 2

I started out well today, but didn't do so great in the evening.  This morning I was invited, and then pressured, to go to breakfast with my friends after swimming, but they were going to Coco's and I wanted to skip the questions and comments about what I was eating (most likely oatmeal would have been the only choice) while everyone else had eggs and pancakes. 

It's hard sometimes because most of my friends are athletic and consider themselves healthy, but their healthy breakfasts are still not what I would eat.  For example, in my "healthy", pre-ETL days, I would order an egg white veggie omelet but that obviously has animal protein in it, the vegetables are mere afterthoughts, and it was most likely cooked with oil and salt.  I am not at the stage where I feel comfortable bringing my own food or making special requests (maybe one day though!).

For breakfast I had a green smoothie. I didn't enjoy it as much today - not sure why. For lunch I had a huge salad of hardly anything (lots of romaine, baby carrots, 1/2 small avocado, and a lot of a pea dressing (contains seeds)).

Then for dinner, I had another salad, a lentil-based soup, and then proceeded to snack. I had some baked corn chips and a few whole wheat fig bars. They are now out of the house!

I'm determined to have a good weekend - Easter and all.

Day 39 / 42

Last two weeks of hard training before the half-ironman race. Today was one hard ride. I was only supposed to ride for 4 hours but because most of the people I rode with today are training for IM Utah, they needed to do a 4.5 hour ride.

"Is it ok if we ride a little longer today?" they asked.

"Sure - if you don't mind waiting for my slowness..."

Everyone I ride with is much faster than me. This is discouraging to me, because I feel bad that I am holding them up. They have to stop and wait for me at specific points. I've told them to go on and that I feel bad that they wait for long periods of time occasionally, but they (well, one of them at least) has assured me it is not a problem. When am I going to get to a point when I'm not the slowest? I just want to be faster than ONE person!

Anyway, today's ride was challenging. We managed to avoid the rain predicted for today, but it was still very cold. We ended up going over our projected time as well which put the total ride time around 4:40 instead of 4:30. Around the 3-hr mark, I almost felt like I was bonking, even though I had been eating the same amount I usually do on this ride. D informed me that we need more calories when it is cold because we're burning more trying to stay warm... hmmm... never heard that one before (anyone know?) but eating at that point did seem to help.

And of course we ran afterward... because we can. :)

One other note - yes, still using processed crap during exercise because it seems to be working for me and I'm scared to try something new this close to a race. But next month, I want to make all intake -- including exercising intake -- ETL if possible.

B - (during ride): 3 GUs, 2 odwalla bars, 1 diluted juice + electrolytes drink

L - green smoothie: 8 oz bok choy, 1 T flax seed, 1 orange, 2 pears, handful of blueberries

D - salad: romaine, 1/2 red pepper, 3 oz carrots, avocado herb dressing + dried persimmons

E - bike: 4:40, run: 0:30

Day 38 / 42

I had a coupon for a free oatmeal at Starbucks this morning and ended up using it for breakfast. I was worried that it wouldn't fill me up like the green smoothies usually do since there wasn't any vegetables in it (although I have heard of people mixing spinach with their oatmeal, but that is another post...). I'm not sure if it worked because I ended up eating a lot of kumquats and was fairly full. However, I also started feeling a little light-headed around 11 am which was odd. It felt reminiscent of symptoms I used to get when I felt hypoglycemic (I don't get these anymore since being on a nutritian diet).

Also, the other strange thing I've noticed since yesterday is that I haven't been as hungry as I usually am. Yesterday's workout should have definitely made me fairly hungry but I didn't have that ravenous feeling I usually have after a long workout. Unfortunately I still ate the same amount (or more) out of habit, boredom, or [fill in lame excuse] but at least I am more conscious of it now. I will try to make more of an effort to stop eating when I am satisfied.

This weird decrease in hunger happened to me another time when I attempted ETL. I got to a point where I didn't desire as much food. A lot of people on the Dr. Fuhrman forums who are longtime ETL-ers say this has happened to them too. The idea is that your body is flooded with nutrients and doesn't needs as much food... interesting! I hope that is what's happening with me... and I hope I have the sense to heed the signals to stop eating.

B - Starbucks oatmeal with nuts package + 14 kumquats

L - salad: romaine, 1/2 small avocado, 1/2 red bell pepper, 13 baby carrots, 1/2 cup garbanzo beans, casinera's caesar dressing

S - 4 dates before second workout

D - cabbage, peas and green onions + 1/2 frozen banana

E - bike: 1:10, bike: 1:10 (1 in the morning, 1 in the evening)

Hard Running

My legs were tight and sore this morning and I was dreading this morning's workout. Of all the days out of the week, the Thursday morning track workout is the one I dread the most. What is it about running that is so painful? I should clarify. What is it about "fast" running that is so painful? I have to put "fast" in quotes since I'm not fast in reality. Fast are the sub-5 minute-milers running today (that's their "10K pace")!

One of the new girls asked me, "Does it ever get any easier?" I looked at her straight in the eye and said, "Nope," to which she replied, "I should have asked someone else..." Haha. I think it does get easier, but in a different way. We get faster (but so does everyone else, so it becomes hard to gauge progress) and better at tolerating pain, but it's still always painful.

Today's run workout was KILLER. As in, I killed my legs. Someone in the group wearing a Garmin said the total mileage was 8.5 miles, which is A LOT for a "track workout" ... especially when last week was much shorter at around 5-6 miles total.

Hoping the hard workout and eating healthfully today (on track - no excuses!) will combat the damage I did yesterday.

S - GU between workouts

B - green smoothie: 8 oz bok choy, 1 T flax seed, 1 oranges, 1 pear, handful of blueberries

L - salad: romaine, 1/2 small avocado, 1/2 red bell pepper, 13 baby carrots, 1/2 cup garbanzo beans, casinera's caesar dressing + 1 clementine

D - cabbage, peas, and green onions + frozen fruit with a little too much almond butter

E - run: 1:15, swim: 0:30

Day 36 / 42

Official last week of the "6-week plan", although I have to admit at this point, I haven't been as completely strict as I should have been. I'd say my adherence is more around 80%. I can do better. The closer I adhere, the closer I can get to my goal.

B - green smoothie: 8 oz bok choy, 1 T flax seed, 1 oranges, 1 pear, handful of blueberries

S - odwalla bar

L - salad: romaine, 1/2 small avocado, 1/2 red bell pepper, 3 oz baby carrots, 1/2 cup garbanzo beans, casinera's caesar dressing + 1 clementine

D - 2 cups sweet greens soup, 2 oz sunflower seeds, 2 ww fig newtons

E - swim: 1:00, weights: 0:45

Day 35 / 42

Today wasn't a perfect day. I was having very bad hunger pains in the afternoon and ended up caving into an Odwalla bar before my second evening workout. Surprisingly, the extra sugar made me feel great and I was really energized during the swim. I still struggle with wanting to eat pre-workout snacks since that's what most others in the sports community think is necessary.

I'm feeling mentally better today. I know I just need to keep plugging away. As Emily said today, excuses are irrelevant.

S - GU during workout

B - green smoothie: 8 oz bok choy, 1 T flax seed, 1 oranges, 1 pear

L - salad: romaine, 1/2 small avocado, 1/2 red bell pepper, 13 baby carrots, 1/2 cup garbanzo beans, casinera's caesar dressing + 1 clementine

S - odwalla bar

D - cabbage and peas, 1 pc dark chocolate, frozen berries

E - bike: 0:50, run: 0:30, swim: 0:45

Day 29 / 42

B - green smoothie: 7-8 oz romaine and spinach, 1 kiwi, 1 T flax seed, 2 oranges, 1/3 banana

L - salad: romaine, cabbage, 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 small avocado, 1 red bell pepper, 13 baby carrots, 1/2 cup garbanzo beans, casinera's caesar dressing + 1 clementine

D - 1.5 cups sweet greens soup + 1 head raw broccoli, bok choy with sweet potato/peanut dip + about 1 lb braised mustard greens

E - swim: 1:00, weights: 0:45

I'm feeling a little weak today and fighting cravings/toxic hunger like mad. The afternoon stretch from 2 pm - 6 pm was the worst. It was so bad I was having trouble focusing and concentrating today at work. I had to get vegetables for dinner which meant going to the grocery store and facing temptation.

I'm proud to report that I was this close (you can't see me, but my thumb and forefinger are almost touching) to breaking down and buying junk food. I kept thinking about how I didn't want to say I didn't do everything in my power to lose weight this week.

Day 28 / 42

I downloaded Lose It on my phone yesterday to track my calories. I am going to track my intake this week and see where I am making mistakes. Since the scale isn't moving, this should give me some good information. I used to be fairly obsessive about tracking calorie intake, recording and weighing everything I put in my mouth. I was a walking encyclopedia of calorie information and a darn good judge of correct portion sizes. It used to drive me crazy! I don't want to go back down that road so hopefully it will just be this one week or two.

B - green smoothie: 7-8 oz romaine and spinach, 1 kiwi, 1 T flax seed, 2 oranges, 1/3 banana

L - salad: romaine, cabbage, 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 small avocado, 1 red bell pepper, 13 baby carrots, 1/2 cup garbanzo beans, casinera's caesar dressing + 1 clementine

D - shiitake mushroom-tomato-spinach soup, cooked spinach with sweet potato/peanut dip

E - bike: 1:00, run: 0:40, swim: 0:45

Day 27/42

After the disappointing weigh-in results, I was livid. After doing all the things I thought I was supposed to be doing -- eating right AND exercising a lot -- and I didn't lose any weight! And so I did what I do when I feel discouraged. I binged. I had been doing so well too! NINE days! After the binge, I allowed myself to eat more SAD food - mostly way more sugary desserts than ever allowed. I had stomach pains shortly after (serves me right) and yesterday was the first day I ate completely back on track again.

So it's back to logging to finish off these last couple of weeks.

On the plus side, I felt much better physically this week. I guess the coach was correct when he said consistent training would bring less fatigue. I rode yesterday and did MUCH better than last week. We did the SAME challenging course as last week, except in reverse, which is harder, AND added an extra hour to the ride. Four hours on the bike later (it rained on us too), I ran and was even able to do some sprints up the nearby hills.

It's coming together!

B - green smoothie: 7-8 oz romaine and spinach, 1 kiwi, 1 T flax seed, 2 oranges, 1/3 banana

L - salad: romaine, cabbage, 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 small avocado, 1 red bell pepper, 10 baby carrots, casinera's caesar dressing + 2 clementines

D - zucchini "noodles" with tomatoes + steamed kale and sweet potato/peanut dip + bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables + 1/4 cup garbanzos

E - run: 1:15, weights: 0:30
