Hoping to get in an hour's bike ride if it doesn't storm!

Chorizo, parsley and broccoli? That does sound weird! I'm making a frittata tonight so maybe I'll try it. ;-)

L: sausage and cabbage 'noodle' stir-fry
S: banana
D: sauteed Chinese broccoli, grilled salmon and roasted cauliflower

I'd better feel better tomorrow. Have a trip to the Berkshires on Friday-Sunday, supposed to do a 40 mile ride with a 7 mile climb :eek:. Of course, it's probably going to rain, so it's a moot point. But, I feel suspiciously like I did in February, when I had bronchitis. Going to bed now!

Snack: 1 leftover grilled chicken thigh
Tennis

It was broccoli "slaw" from Trader Joes. The chorizo was ground and from a local farmer - made from pastured pork. Quite spicy and yummy! I needed to mix it up and it worked pretty well.

Dinner tonight was brisket sauteed with cabbage, onion and little slices of apple. Strawberries and a couple squares of dark chocolate for dessert.

I want to hear all about your trip, GLC!!!

What Indy said, GLC :)

I know... Once I upload all the photos, I'll post a recap in my original thread. Stay tuned!!

Preview: it was AWESOME!

Very descriptive, and yet completely non-descriptive as well. ;)

The answer for today is "not enough".

However, I made up for it by making a thoroughly awesome dinner: Chicken thighs (cut into cubes...or as close to cubes as you can get with chicken thighs!), soba and broccoli with chili garlic sauce and broth, with a generous squeeze of lime juice and cilantro at the end. It was fantastic.

B: 2 eggs, slice of raisin Ezekial toast, strawberries, coffee
L:2 veggie burger patties, cole slaw, an apple, nuts and cranberries
S: Lara Bar
D: 3 turkey burger "sliders," 2 of them in a whole wheat pita, with yogurt cumin sauce, tomato-arugula salad, 2 squares dark chocolate

Today:

B: Frittata, 1 slice fresh side, coffee
45 minute workout (lighter than usual)
S: small banana
L: raw veggies, brisket with a homemade sauce to dip the meat
D: more brisket, sauteed cabbage with thin pear slices and onion. Coconut "milk" (beverage) smoothie for dessert with fresh strawberries and blue berries. I rarely get the boxed coconut drink beverage but it is nice from time to time - I prefer the real thing :)

I had a deconstructed smoothie for dinner tonight. First a bowl of bananas and blueberries, then a cup of blueberry Greek yogurt, all accompanied by a glass of orange juice.
