My car's new power steering pump failed as I was going to a cafe after my first client. So I had a skim milk micha latte while waiting for the *** tow truck to take me to the dealer (an hour in total) so I could get my rental and get to the next client by 1:00.
half a Luna Bar so I wouldn't starve. Got to my office at 2:00, but was afraid my chicken salad from above Idylwidle farms was going bad, despite being in a baggie with a cool pack. I ate a few bites and finished the Luna Bar and dumped the salad. I had a pack of nuts and cranberries at 4 PM

I've been away the past 2.5 days and my diet included such things as a scallop roll, fries, and ice cream from Sundae School (those of you who go to Cape Cod will know this place). I did ride, but quite moderately for me.
I have been eating a lot, as my weight has been down. At the end of last week it's stabilized at my "regular" weight, but that means I have to be more vigilant so it doesn't go up. The next week will be tough. Crazy busy with work on Mon-Tues., sort of normal on Wed. and then Thursday afternoon-Saturday I am going for a 2.5 day review class for my licensing exam. It's in SE MA, I am staying down there. Food is all on your own. I doubt I'll get any exercise on Friday, and not sure about Sat., since I don't get home until 6 PM. The class is at a state university, so I hope, at least for lunch, there will be some OK choices. DH is going to be away for almost all of the next 2 weeks, so I will have a chance to clean up my diet after this week.

I was camping and mountain biking this weekend, so breakfast was generally cold cereal + banana and coffee, lunch was a chicken sausage cooked at the fire + hot dog bun and multi-grain tortilla chips & hummus. Dinner was whatever I could grab but can't really remember outside of an actual cheeseburger (first one of those in about a year)...several beers with friends.
I also got in 3 hours mountain biking in two days + some hiking. A little over 1 hour of of the riding was pretty hard/intense (for me). A few shot blocks and another couple bananas were consumed.
My eating could have been worse, I think I am starting to work out this eating while camping thing. Certainly better than the LAST time when I came close to bonking :o

I must ask...what is "clean" eating? Is this basically no processed foods? I've read so many different descriptions on this on the internet that I've become a little confused. I've started to fall back into my old bread addiction, so while I am addressing that I am looking at other ways to eat healthier...probably by simply adding more fresh/frozen veggies.
Not for me, although I don't really eat any processed stuff. I just meant less restaurants this week and next, not so much wine or beer.
I've just had a lot of social stuff. It seems like my life revolves around riding and eating! DH is in Asia for almost 2 weeks, so I can concentrate on eating less, although tomorrow I am going to a 2.5 day class and am staying in a hotel, since it's about 60 miles from here and I don't want to drive back and forth. This will involve some Marriott bistro meals and probably lunch from the university cafeteria, which should be fine, since there will always be a salad bar. But, it will involve a lot of sitting. I can ride tomorrow in the AM, but will have to use the fitness center and pool at the hotel.
