Crankin - congratulations on being able to snow shoe! My body is asking for something different to do...but with the weather we've been having all I can do is to ride outside/inside, or go hiking...I can't run and I won't learn how to swim (and my new gym doesn't have a pool anyway, but that isn't a problem).
It was nice to do something different, albeit, right in my own neighborhood!
We are going cross country skiing today (about an hour away in southern NH), and who knows when we'll be doing that again, as tomorrow and the next few days will be almost 50 degrees and rainy. Hoping the rain will not reach north of here, so we will still have the possibility of going further north or west next Saturday and ski.
I know this is the food thread, but I can't seem to separate my exercise from eating. I had my first piece of bread this morning, in 2 weeks, in preparation for some good climbing today.
B: 1 piece coffee cake, coffee
3 hours tennis
L: late, 1 piece of pizza
D: bowl of beef vege soup, onions, carrots, cabbage, beef, carrots, green beans, red potatoes; 1 piece of WG bread, 1 glass red wine
1 pumpkin custard
I can't separate the two either, one informs the other...Quote:

The Machengo cheese is fine, but a bit mild for my taste. Currently trying a Wisconsin sharp white cheddar from Trader Joe's, and also picked up some good smoked Gouda (which I love). I will try another imported cheese once I've gone through these.
B: egg whites and one egg scramble with 3 slices Canadian bacon, one piece of whole wheat "small slice" toast with margerine
L: (after 2.4 hours of x country skiing) half a sandwich with soy nut butter, bowl of butternut squash/apple soup, half a packet of nuts and cranberries
S: piece of low fat Gouda cheese, 2 whole wheat pita rounds
D: scallops, baked and then broiled with parmesan over a bed of spinach, with sauteed zucchini, one piece of chocolate, glass of red wine
Yesterday:
Bowl of cereal, tea with sugar and half and half
Half a roast beef sandwich from Panera (beef, cheese, lettuce, red onion, tomato, horseradish sauce), and a cup of broccoli-cheddar soup, Dr. Pepper
Cheese (Cotswold, and Red Dragon) on whole wheat toast, water.
I keep forgetting that calories (or a deficit thereof) carry over to the next day. It seems like dinner on Friday night wasn't adequate (not enough protein, I guess?) I went to the mall and my head was spinning by the time I left, even though I ate breakfast. :confused:
Today:
Bowl of cereal, tea with sugar and half and half
30 minutes on the trainer
Tortilla chips and salsa, the entirety of a chocolate bar (one of the thin flat ones, so probably not as bad as it could have been!)
3 meatballs, 1/3 c (dry) brown rice, and a salad. 1 inch-square piece of baklava and a large apple for dessert.
B: bowl of shredded wheat, strawberries, 1% milk, coffee
L: rice with italian sausage turkey, tomato sauce, mushrooms, yellow peppers and onions
D: same as lunch
dessert - pumpkin pie with whipped cream
B: 5 slices turkey breast (Boar's Head) and half a cup of cottage cheese with almonds, half a cup of whole wheat flakes with 1% milk, blueberries, coffee
L: homemade chicken salad with Greek yogurt, cranberries, walnuts
S: slice of whole wheat bread and soy nut butter
D: one piece of veal (like the really little and thin kind) sauteed in olive oil with melted fresh parmesan, stir fried pepper and mushrooms, salad with goat cheese and almonds, fig dressing, piece of dark chocolate and half a Cara cara orange
I have no idea what's up with my body today. I actually ate dinner last night. I ate breakfast. I ate lunch. I had a snack. I was starving by the time I got home. I had another snack. It took me another two hours to get dinner ready. I'd think it was lack of sleep, if I didn't already know that lack of sleep has the opposite effect...
B: 16oz of tea with sugar and half-and-half. Large-ish bowl of cereal with 1% milk
L: Brown rice mix, with almonds, honey-Dijon chicken, broccoli and pomegranate seeds
S: Peanut butter M&Ms
S2: Hot chocolate, square of baklava
D: 6 coconut-crusted chicken fingers (I was getting tired of meatballs and rice) with sweet chili sauce, an apple
3 chocolate digestives.
B: 1 egg, 1 piece wg toast, oj, coffee
Snack: 1 banana
Lunch: bowl of beef vege soup (homemade), 1 brownie
Dinner: 1/2 rainbow trout filet with mushroom prosecco sauce, rice pilaf with pumpkin seeds and veges, sauteed green and yellow summer squash, 1 very small piece of wg bread with artichoke hummus, 1 glass prosecco
B: egg whites and one egg omelette with Mexican cheese and salsa, 3 slices of turkey bacon, coffee
L: finished the home made chicken salad and ate half an apple
D: one boneless chicken breast with provencal sauce (plum tomatoes, onions, thyme, olives, mustard, balsamic vinegar, olive oil), brown rice. DH made a salad of sliced tomato and fresh mozzarella, which probably wasn't good for me, but tasted great. One glass of red wine, one square of dark chocolate.
