B: one buttermilk waffle with dried cranberries and almonds, strawberries, coffee
I went on a hilly 37.5 mile ride; during the first half of the ride I had 2 Shot Blocks and half a Lara Bar, almost one bottle of Skratch, water
L: we ate at Bolton Farms, where I had a turkey sandwich with mustard and tomatoes and I sampled a few home made chips. Refilled my bottles, one with more Skratch.
S: had a slice of cheese and 3 pita rounds
D: our friends came over for dinner. We had some artichoke dip and pita crackers, cheese, and Mojitos! I made chicken thighs with green chili salsa, salad, and my friend brought whole wheat cous cous with veggies. The chicken thighs were really tiny, we all chowed down on the cous cous. Followed this up with a bit of chocolate chip ice cream/hot fudge
My weight is up a little today, but it may be just from the hard ride, or it could be the Mojitos and ice cream! But, my weight was pretty low for me on Saturday morning and it's been much easier for me to maintain a lower weight, recover from a little more eating on weekends, since I tweaked my diet back to Mediterranean and I've been riding a lot more.
