ah, adonis, manfred_man,
certainly great ideas you're giving me. i've wrestled with adonis's idea before, but i've run into several problems.
1. i can only bring along the shake mix and say water. (i donno, can i bring in milk? will it go bad in say an hour or two at room temperature?) that means i miss out on the 8 g or so protein in the milk, and past that, because i'm doing HIIT on cardio that probly means it's not a great idea to eat a PB&J sandwich right before (which i eat for carbs as well as the extra protein kick in the peanut butter with my protein shake. 3:1 ratio of carb to protein right, for maximum absorption?).
2. thought about splitting up cardio + weights into two parts of the day, but that means tramping on over to the gym, exercising, tramping on back, it's about 20 minutes one way to the gym, 15 minutes for a shower, 1 hr for the exercise, which means boom another 2 hrs of my day, not feasible with class...ugh.
so, how about if i grab two more days of running on the weekends (my rest days)? would that work? and would you suggest that i keep up my protein intake on those days? (sorry i've seem to have asked that last question ten million times.)
