I woke up feeling quite ill... stomach mostly, but also some allergy stuff
Had one cup of coffee. had to throw out the nice breakfast I made. ended up drinking 2 cups of ginger green tea and a slice of matzah.
L: by this time I was starving, but leery. Had some plain sliced chicken with melted cheddar
S: slice of spelt bread with almond butter
D: 5 oz. sirloin, whole wheat cous cous, salad, ate the fruit I couldn't eat at breakfast for dessert
Crankin - hope you are feeling better!
Today:
B: eggs and sauteed butternut squash
usual conditioning group training - and I felt fine :)
L: last of the Mull. stew (soup only - froze some last week), heated up with some seafood. Better than anticipated, small banana
S: chocolate ice cream. Said quart of yummy ice cream then went to the dumpster because I cannot be trusted with it in the house - apparently.
D: tried a new turkey/cranberry meatball recipe. It was ok, but I prefer pork or beef. Herb salad to go along with it.
I did recover fairly quickly, Catrin.
So, it's been 2 days of non-stop eating, with my kids here from LA. I haven't eaten too much, just stuff I normally might not eat. DH got really good food for my birthday party, including a decadent chocolate cake to die for. It's going with him to the office today. I'll leave Saturday out, but here's yesterday:
B: whole wheat bagel, lox, tomato, light cream cheese, coffee
took a 2.5 mile walk with the family
L: salad with lettuce, chicken, dried cranberries, goat cheese, fig vinegar, cup of tomato soup
D: we went out for Chinese food at a place near where my older son lives. Very authentic and it had to be some of the hottest stuff I've ever eaten. Had a variety of dishes, mostly eggplant, with a taste of noodles, chicken, pork.
Yesterday:
B: scrambled eggs with veggies, coffee
S: boiled egg
L: staff lunch at an Indian restaurant
D: tried a couple of new recipes - one for Greek style bangers (lamb and pork), and another for paleo Tabouli - both were pretty good.
B: 1 piece wg toast, butter, coffee
L: 1 sports kind sports bar, water
handful of almonds, 1 beer
D: 2 pieces meatloaf, broccoli, 1/2 small baked potato with sourcream
small helping of lemon gelato
B: 2 eggs scrambled with kale, 1/4 avocado, blueberries, coffee
L:left over tofu, veggies, an apple
S: slice of cheddar
D: home made asparagus soup, topped with a sprinkle of pancetta. This recipe was from the Bill Straley Paleo cookbook and could easily be vegetarian by using veggie broth instead of chicken broth. glass of red wine
I did hill intervals on the treadmill for 22 minutes... all I could stand.
B: egg whites, green chili salsa, 2 chicken breakfast sausages, sprinkle of light jack cheese, an orange, coffee
L: salad with lettuce, tuna in oil, quinoa, grape tomatoes, fig vinegar
S: nuts, cranberries, chocolate bits
D: 6 oz. Ahi tuna, barely cooked, roasted broccolini in olive oil, sweet potato, small glass of red wine, 2 squares dark chocolate
I should skip posting yesterday's food. We went out to dinner at an awesome place and then went to see Louis Black. Way too much for a school night!
I did a really hard boot camp class, had half a Lara Bar before
B: eggs, kale, cheese, black beans, blueberries
L: lentil soup and an apple
S: ate the rest of the Lara Bar
D: Ok, we got to the place early, as we weren't sure how long it would take to get to Worcester in rush hour. Had one glass of wine and we shared 2 flatbreads between the 4 of us. One had proscuttio and the other had basil/cheese. Had another glass and a half of wine at dinner, which was salmon enrusted in pepper, with a cilantro sauce, brown rice, and cabbage.
I guess the appetizers were a bit much, but we were starving at 5 PM.
Louis Black is funny, but really, how many times can you say the f word without it getting annoying? He gave a very good description of Yuma, AZ, which had me laughing so hard I was crying, though (the armpit of AZ, 8,000 degrees out, just like I always said)
Can't remember what I ate Friday, but here's yesterday:
B: 2 poached eggs on sautéed spinach with bacon crumbles, coffee, an orange
S: half a Lara Bar before a 21 mile semi hilly ride
L: finished the Lara Bar and had a salad with tuna, grape tomatoes, goat cheese, with an apple
S: slice of Machengo
D: went to an Italian place near where I used to teach. They know us here. I had parpedelle with tomato and ricotta and a cup of lentil soup. I ate about 2/3 of the pasta and took the rest home. Had 2 glasses of Lambrusco.
Yesterday:
Tea with half-and-half and sugar (a little too much sugar, since I haven't had that particular tea in ages...), waffles with butter and maple syrup.
Apple with cookie butter
Chocolate pudding
2 chicken legs, fennel and arugula salad with homemade dressing, walnuts and Parmesean, 4 slices of buttered sourdough toast.
1 frozen "fun-size" Milky Way (though what exactly is more fun about less candy, I don't know).
Today:
Sourdough toast with cream cheese, smoked salmon, chives and fennel fronds, coffee with half-and-half and sugar.
19.3-mile bike ride (2 bottles of water, one Clif bar)
Glass of egg nog
I'm either doing stir-fry or a burrito tonight. Probably stir-fry so that I have a reason to make a ton of rice so that I have leftovers for the week.
Today:
B: "hot pot" - basically lots of veggies scrambled with a couple of eggs, some pork, and fermented veggies on top - YUM!
15 minute weight lifting session prior to usual crazy Sunday Funday workout - followed with protein shake
L: salad with organic grass-fed, nitrate free hot dogs. I know...but they are pretty darn good!
S: apple
D: roast pork shoulder, paleo tabbouleh (cauliflower rice rather than grains), roasted carrots. 2 small squares of dark chocolate for dessert.
Is there a brand on the hot dogs, or is it a local outfit? (DBF's a hot dog fiend, and I sort of like them, and I'd like to find ones that aren't terrifying.)Quote:

I know Whole Foods also carries that brand - I haven't looked for the hot dogs, though. They might be able to order them, though.Quote:
