13.5 mile rather windy ride home
Almost 8:00 when I got home and it really is far too late to eat - but was hungry! Scrambled a couple of eggs, one slice of sprouted wheat toast, a bit of cheese. Still hungry but it is almost bed-time. Way below calorie targets for the day - I am slipping back into bad old habits :o My goal is to get at least 400 calories at my three meals and make up the difference with snacks...
Catrin, it's OK to eat that late! You had a lot of exercise. I know that insatiable feeling when you've done a lot in one day. If I don't eat when i get that feeling, I wake up in the middle of the night so hungry that I have to get out of bed and eat.
B: egg whites, salsa, low fat Colby cheese, an orange, coffee
L: 2 veggie burger patties, cole slaw, an apple
S#1 nuts and cranberries, S#2 at about 5:30: slice of raisin Ezekial bread with soy nut butter
D: salad with whole wheat orzo, chick peas, red pepper, onion, goat cheese
Yesterday i felt like a human trash compactor-- particularly since I had so much alcohol after not drinking for nearly a month.
B: bowl of special K, larabar
L:turkey, brie, apple butter sandwich (big one!), san pelligrino limonata
AS: chocolate milk
D: Reuben sandwich with coleslaw, pint of stout, IPA margarita, vodka and soda (ughhhhh whyyyy)
Hey spoke wench! I gotta be honest-- i dont get tired of BF and L ever...i hope it's not bad. For dinner, i get plenty of colorful veggies and different kinds of meats. We usually switch off tilapia, chicken, steak, or beef. DH loves to cook so he enjoys going to the store and picking out the best, fresh veggies for us to have for dinner .Quote:

I always have a bedtime snack! My doc recommended something with a bit of protein to help me sleep through the night. It has helped :)Quote:

Thanks for the feedback, I am never sure about eating more than a snack close to bed - but I knew my body needed something substantial.
Interestingly enough I woke up after midnight, well I always do that, but when I got out of bed and walked across my apartment my quads were just on fire :eek: They are fine today, and I DID stretch and foam roll when I got home - perhaps bed came too quickly after my efforts?
Regardless, it was probably too much to do all that work at the gym and then ride in the wind for an hour to get home. I won't do that again without cutting out either the weights or the Bosu class. Both today and tomorrow are rest days as I've a 3 day weekend of mountain biking coming so I want to go into it fully rested and with fresh legs (and neck). I don't like taking 2 rest days in a row, but it seems wise.
Sounds like you have a FUN weekend planned :D:D:D:D
Yes indeedy :D It has been 8 full months since my neck injury on the mtb trail, and I have managed to get in 3 easy rides on a very basic beginners loop recently (my only local option). After the Women's Clinic I will be more confident about riding by myself in Brown County State Park - but it's been so long that it seemed good to do the clinic first.Quote:
