I won't post what I ate/drank Saturday, it featured too much beer and yummy food :) Back to normal today!
So, my weekend was pretty much like Catrin's. I was away Saturday and part of Sunday, and as it was raining on the Cape, there was nothing to do but eat and sit and read.

cup of butternut squash soup, chicken salad on a bed of lettuce, with cranberries and almonds, an orange, slice of whole wheat bread

I don't want to even see the scale for a few days
I went way over on calories yesterday but it was planned.
breakfast: a half an apple and 4 walnut halves
Lunch: Broasted chicken thigh and wing
Salisbury steak
biscuit with gravy
broccoli salad with bacon in it and mayo
half a piece of rasberry pie and a small blob of icecream

Still averaging close to 1200 a day for the week. Today will be heavy on the vegetables and light on the calories to make up for the meat and sweet fest.
Yesterday:
Bowl of cereal with milk, orange juice
22-mile bike ride, some of it with Roadtrip :o
Water and 2 shot blocks (cran-ras) on the ride
Frappucino thingy...medium, this time

17.2 mile kind of crappy ride to the Farmer's Market in the next town. Not feeling that well and then some older man was trying to catch me near the spot where I turned off the main road to the street where the market is, so I sprinted, which on my hybrid, is not easy. Dumb.
small roll with olive oil and a slice of Machengo cheese when I got home
brown rice made with light coconut milk and hot sauce, black beans, peppers, onions, queso fresco. 2 pieces dark chocolate
Yesterday:
Bowl of cereal, milk
18-mile bike ride; one shot block and water on the ride
Once I got back in the parking lot (so, lunch/recovery food, right?)
Pina colada-flavored shaved ice (feeling nostalgic, haven't had it in ages), a pulled-pork sandwich with barbeque sauce, lemonade, Starbucks stop on the way home for caffeine fix.:D
This mostly served to remind me that I was hungry. :o
Lunch part II: the pulled pork that had fallen out of the sandwich, with barbeque sauce, brown rice, an apple, water.
mixed green salad with goat cheese, garlic hummus with pita chips
~ 1 scoop Ben and Jerry's Cheesecake Brownie ice cream.
So far a nice breakfast sandwich. I need to work up the nerve to go for a bike ride.

Ate the other half of the bagel with some hummus when I got back as I was ravenous and couldn't wait until after my shower
finished the left over quinoa and veggie salad for lunch with a cup of butternut squash soup
low salt ham and goat cheese panini on whole wheat bread from the good bakery, cole slaw, blueberries and strawberries
4oz. soft serve "twist" flavor dipped in chocolate
I gained even more after eating normally for a long ride day today... not sure what is going on with my body. The red light danger zone is flashing and I am not sure what to do...
Is it that time of the month? Did you eat enough yesterday? I gain weight after rides. Maybe I retain water cause I eat so much salt? Maybe you do too?Quote:

I do react to eating a lot of salt, but I don't eat a lot of it. I ate what would be considered "normal" for a day when I do a long ride. Other days, I am trying to stay away from too many carbs, even whole wheat. But, I have been gaining weight for about a week. I am also not feeling that well, basically pollen allergies gone haywire. Just got back from the doc, who feels because of my history with sinus infections and asthma, put me on a second round of antibiotics, in addition to all of the natural and OTC stuff I do. Not a good way to be feeling when I am starting a new job :mad:.
Obviously I will be resting today and at the most I will take a walk and do yoga tomorrow. I know I shouldn't have gone on an almost 50 mile ride yesterday, but...
Hoping my body is just going through some weird "thing" and will get back on track.
1 egg, low salt ham, cheese sammy on 1 piece wg toast, 1 peach, coffee
pulled chicken bbq sammy, coleslaw
margarita, chili relleno, enchilada, rice, beans
Well ****...what's your secret? BC? That must be nice! I used to not get my period for about 3 years, but I still noticed each month I had very very slight symptoms like bloating and being cranky once a month. Maybe it's just your body telling you you need to rest? We are living breathing things, we flux, if you know what i mean. ;)Quote:

Aquamoose, you must be young....
I am 9 years post menopause. Yes, I was pretty young (48) when it happened, but I was so thankful, after ten years of horrible peri-menopause symptoms.
Feeling a bit better today and weight is almost back to normal. But, as you can see, I ate hardly anything yesterday and I woke up in the middle of the night, ravenous.
non fat Greek yogurt and blueberries, herbal tea
2 cups of coffee, egg white omelette with tomato pesto and goat cheese, an apple
baked sole with a panko and parmesan topping, whole wheat cous cous with zucchini and grape tomatoes, 2 squares dark chocolate
watching portion sizes now
Yesterday:
Cereal with 1%
No ride for me--I've been exhausted lately for no reason that I can think of.
Two slices of whole wheat-sunflower seed toast with garlic hummus
Handful of wasabi peas
Wine tasting at Whole Foods--equivalent of ~1.5 glasses of wine (I split the remaining half glass between my parents because I really didn't like it!), small amounts of salad, pork, salmon, bread, ricotta, and pound cake...all but the salmon had blueberries in it. (I think there was a blueberry surplus!)
Salad with mixed greens, carrots, celery and tomatoes, bread with a few different types of cheeses, grapes
I went to a dutch oven cook-off. No idea how many calories I had. A thousand maybe?
2 slices low salt ham, blueberries, slice of cheese, coffee
brunch with son and DIL (we always do father's day on Saturday to avoid being around screaming kids): the "salad plate" which was a scoop of curried chicken salad, hummus and whole wheat pita chips, veggies marinated in oil and vinegar, coffee
friends came over for dinner. we made home made sangria... sat out on the deck and drank that, with guacamole, pita, and cheese
spicy flank steak with home made salsa, sweet potatoes, salad, fresh strawberries and blueberries
Cereal with 1%
Glass of milk with chai stuff
Gazpacho, grilled cheese sandwich, grapes
Possibly the most bland Indian food in existence: Rogan josh (lamb in a cream-based red sauce), half a veggie samosa, 2 vegetable pakoras, a summer squash and cauliflower mixture (covered with butter, it appeared :rolleyes:), a couple scoops of basmati rice, and a serving of pistachio ice cream.
I never want to eat again.
yesterday
2 eggs, 2 slices ww toast
English muffin with cheese
Indian lunch. My life is complete now that there's a new Indian restaurant nearby! Saag paneer, alu gobi, rice, samosa and naan. Heaven. :)
Had the leftovers for dinner, but it wasn't quite enough. So...
Cereal with blueberries
a peach and a pear
slice of ww bead with pb
2 eggs, 1 piece wg toast, coffee, 1 peach
S: 1 bowl of shredded wheat
2 singles matches - 1 granola bar in between; 1 bottle gatorade, lots of h20
couple of slices of meatloaf, ear of corn, 1 beer
I will be starving tomorrow after playing two matches back to back and not eating much. First match started at 12, second a couple hours later, so it is really hard to eat much on days like that.
Oh yes, duh! I didnt think of that haha. I'm 25. Gosh that will be the day when I no longer have to deal with this crap every month. Although at least I have something nice to blame for the fact I am 5lbs heavier each month and NEED Chocolate in my life.Quote:
