Yes only the 2 ryvitas & peanut butter before the workout, I wasn't hungry but thought I should have something. I ate about 2 hrs after my workout. Forgot to put down the rest of what I ate, just realised!

That's a really good workout and a good FBG! If it is working for you it is good. So many people would benefit from what you're doing.
In fact, I think it's really good to see your workouts as not everyone is into doing lots of high intensity stuff too often .. and to have a positive impact on your T2, you really don't need to be. You've got a routine that works for you and you stick to it! That's fantastic.
I think @DEBBIESCOTT and @midnightrider2 are slacking off though!
Glad to hear you ate more that 2 Ryvitas!
 
Excuse me, I’ve spent 90 minutes in the gym this morning before work
Don’t know why it deletes my emojis

Ah well, it all depends what you were doing in the gym. A bloke at mine spends most of his time in the shower! (To be fair he has a wife and 3 daughters and can't get near the shower at home in a morning).
