		Ok, I am back, and thankfully back to normal:
 
 Yesterday:
 
 B: breakfast buffet at the hotel - eggs, veggies, a few potatoes, too much coffee
 L: A salad at TGI Friday's on the way home that was SUPPOSED to have chicken in it. I suppose that it did...but certainly not enough to amount to anything.
 1 hour hard group training session ... at which I may have injured my other shoulder...
 D: roasted chicken thigh wrap (at home) on romaine lettuce leaves
 
 Today:
 
 B: eggs scrambled with spinach at home, triple espresso picked up on the way to work
 L: another roasted chicken wrap, small banana
 D: Can't say just yet, though I did go grocery shopping. Thinking about a red lettuce salad with chicken, bacon, veggies and homemade dressing. I am too tired to concoct anything more complicated than that, I just couldn't go to sleep last night. I am unsure if I ever actually DID sleep, though I probably did.
 
 It is good to be home. I am carefully NOT weighing until I've been back to normal for a few days :o HOPING to ride at some point this weekend...
