No breakfast to speak of this morning.
S: Apple and a few almonds
L: Chicken and some veggies
4.5 mile trail run with over 1000 feet of elevation gain.
S: Lara Bar and some fresh strawberries
D: I think it will be a pork chop and a big salad.
Last night's dinner turned out nicely. Sauteed shallots, garlic & ginger until tender, tossed in a couple chicken breasts, browned them nicely & then lowered the heat to cook them through, then tossed in a huge pile of kale. Served with 1/2 a roasted acorn squash and a big green salad. YUM!
Today has been another "inhale everything in sight" day, courtesy of my a.m. swim. I was already hungry somewhere around 1800 yards and have been behind the curve all day. :o
4:30 apple with 1T almond butter
5:15 2800 meter swim
6:45 Gu Roctane
7:00 60 minute run
8:00 a banana & half a leftover roasted acorn squash while I waited for my oatmeal to cook.
8:30 1 cup of oatmeal with cinnamon
10:30 more acorn squash with 8 walnuts. 1% latte.
12:30 My usual green salad with a pile o' veggie toppings, 1/2 a small avocado, one small sweet potato
3:30 one cup greek yogurt
6:30 dinner tonight is tofu stir-fried with some of the bounty from today's CSA basket, plus a nice big green salad. I have a really awesome ginger-miso dressing recipe that I make all the time and will probably whip up a batch of that tonight for accompaniment.
I probably should have had eggs for breakfast instead of oatmeal, as I'm shy on protein today, but I'll survive. I haven't had oatmeal all week and was really wanting some! :)
Tomorrow I have a 3800meter swim on my training plan. Holy crap! I've *never* swum that far in one go. I'm thinking I need to have an actual breakfast beforehand or I'll never make it through. But sheesh, getting up early enough to do that (like 4am at the latest) is totally unattractive. Maybe just some toast instead, supplemented with a poolside Gu halfway through... hhhmmmmm...
Today:
B: steel cut oats (with dried cranberries and blueberries), 1 whole egg & 1 egg white, skim milk, coffee
S: strawberries and yogurt
L: last of the fruited wild rice salad with a roasted skinless chicken breast
S (pre-workout): 1/2 Cliff Builders Bar
60 minute group training class followed by 30 minute Bosu class - he kicked our behinds in this last session of the class. He fit all of the fitness challenges we've done in the last 10 weeks all in one workout...
Starving, ate the remainder of the Cliff builders bar as I ran a few errands on the way home.
Still starving, too much to really cook....so...
D: 1 slice Ezekiel bread toast, 1 roasted chicken breast with a bit of sheep's milk cheese (English), and a tomato/feta/olive oil sald.
Still a bit hungry but that is enough food this close to bed!
B- cornflakes with skim milk and fresh strawberries, tea with skim milk
Snack at work- whole wheat flatbread, coffee with milk and an orange
Snack at group meeting- crackers with several slices of cheese, 5 thin slices of melon & small squares of fresh pineapple, a grapefruit juice
Dinner- cornflakes with milk and dollop of yogurt & fresh strawberries, a cup of tea with milk
Not healthy, but work meeting meal meant that I shouldn't eat much for supper.
Did a minor work-commute bike ride because it was raining.
Uh, so I've been living off coffee, beef jerky, Goldfish and cereal for the past few days.
I did actually have dinner tonight (brown rice, broccoli, spinach, turkey sausage mixed up in a bowl with a generous sprinkling of Parmesan), and have followed it up with a pineapple/strawberry/coconut milk smoothie
piece of Ezekial raisin bread before circuit training class
B: Irish oatmeal with blueberries, 4 slices of low salt ham stuffed with low fat chive cream cheese, coffee
26 mile ride
S: handful of nuts, cranberries, chocolate bits, coffee
L: 2 veggie burger patties with walnut basil pesto, apple
S: nuts and cranberries

AM Workout: Ran two miles and did an upper body workout
Breakfast: 1/2 cup of almond/cashew mix with coffee
Lunch: PB& No J (whole wheat, natural PB, with naner slices) and a sliced apple

Dinner: Had a potluck at my house to celebrate my tennis team's local championship win! vege lasagna, cheese enchilada, torta pasculina (little helpings of each, had to try them!) a few asparagus in vinaigrette, salad, 2 glasses red wine, small piece of cheese cake. What a feast!
spokewench-- your dinner sounds amazing!!!
B: Smoothie with plain greek yogurt, amond milk, strawberries, raspberries and some protien powder
S: Small piece of fish and an apple
L: I had planned on some fish and veggies...However a co-worker brought in his homemade spg sauce ( very yummy) with sausage and meatballs so of course I had some of his sauce over my veggies that I brought in. Very delighful.:D
D: Most like more of his sauce with veggies.
I am planning on a weight workout today.
4:45am A real breakfast! 1 cup of oatmeal plus a huge banana. Also finished off the bottom of a bag of Kashi Cinnamon Harvest Cereal. Jeff was having it for breakfast and I can't resist that stuff.Quote:

Post-workout snack - Cliff bar (really only because breakfast was so bloody early and it was still 4 hours until lunch)
L: (all-afternoon lunch meeting) lasagna, salad, cottage cheese/tomato salad and half a slice of bread. The lasagna hurt my stomach even though I didn't eat very much - I am just not used to eating that kind of thing any more...
S: almonds and raisins
D: (very late) mixed green salad with mushrooms, a bit of cheese, a few almonds, very small amount of balsamic/oil dressing (homemade), skim milk
My hunger is totally besting me. I've just been inhaling everything around me. I mean I'm not totally off the rails, but certainly paleo is no longer something I'm sticking to. I decided I better start eating some wheat again since I won't really have another option on my big ride this summer. If there's nothing but wheat? I'm gonna eat it.
Anyway, today I started the day with a Luna Protein bar and some Fage total with honey.
Usually lunches are amazing at school but we had a spring carnival so I inhaled 3 of the puny cafeteria burgers on the fly in anticipation of our race simulation bike practice after school.
Just before practice I had a banana and a Bolthouse farms berry smoothie. It was pretty heavy, usually I just have a gel 45 minutes before practice and another on the ride.
Drank 1 bottle of Gu Brew and had a Gu Jet Blackberry on the ride. Immediately after the ride I had a peanut butter chocolate Clif Builder Bar. I thought that might carry me through since practice finished around 6 but no.
Had 3 eggs scrambled and some chicken pot stickers pretty late (eating at 8 seems more and more common now that I'm riding so late in the day...)
It is an interesting journey. I really need to get myself Paleo Diet for Athletes for after the big ride so I can get back on track. Or maybe before then. It's just harder and harder to commit to cooking awesome meals the more and more riding I'm doing on top of 9 hours a day of work.
This is relevant to my interests. Where do you find such a thing?Quote:

I fell asleep on our drive down the Cape, so I had coffee when we arrived. We took a 2 mile walk on the beach/road. Then I had a glass of wine with the B&B owners.
D: at one of my favorite restaurants: half a spinach salad, scallops over ramps, side of spaghetti squash and haricots, mushrooms, one piece of delicious bread and olive oil, more wine
Then we promptly drove to the Kream 'n Kone where they've been serving soft ice cream and dip since 1953
Crankin, you always find the best restaurants. That dinner sounds absolutely wonderful!
B: 1 piece raisin bread with butter, coffee (running late!)
L: 1 small pinto bean and brown rice burrito, with great salsa
S: few corn chips, 2 small margaritas
D: small tuna salad sandwich, tomato, wg bread, few potato chips
Yea, the dinner was awesome and the restaurant is in a 200 year old house. But, both DH and I woke up with ah, upset stomachs. It was either the soft serve (I forgot my Lactaid), or the very strong coffee this morning. The breakfast at this B and B is meh... Yogurt, fruit, and fattening muffins. I need my protein. Thankfully, I found some Pepto in my bag before we went on a 38 mile ride. It worked enough so I could have a burrito in the middle of the ride :eek:. But, I am just exhausted and probably a little dehydrated.
Crankin, it just sounds like fun - though sorry about the tummy problems. I am also jealous that your weather has been kind enough to get all of those good rides! It's been crazy here, it seems like the only time it is nice riding weather is when I am in the office :( That will change soon enough though.
Today:
B: Kashi Autumn shredded wheat cereal with 6 almonds and a few raisins, 2 whole scrambled eggs in a tsp olive oil, skim milk, coffee
2 hour spinning class (the first hour wasn't like anything I've seen before, we just rode with our eyes closed to the beat of the music and I spent much of it on my feet. Yoga-cycle class - the second hour was what I considered a way-too-easy spin class)
L: chicken curry sandwich with cashews and grapes, along with a small banana (at the gym, was starving and had errands to run before homeward bound)
S: 1/2 cup no-fat cottage cheese and 1 cup of fresh cut fruit (melon, strawberries, apple, pineapple)
D: Sweet-basil chicken sausage, last of the fruited wild rice over mixed salad greens, kale and skim milk - with a 16 ounce wonderful Oatmeal Stout.
I did finally make my workout calorie goal today :)
OK, to finish the rest of yesterday's meals:
When we got back from the ride, before dinner, we had 2 glasses of wine with the inn owners and some other guests. Our dinner wasn't until 8 PM, so I was ready to eat.
We went to an awesome Italian place, we had been to once, 4 years ago. I had a cup of Tuscan white bean and spinach soup (some crostini in there, too) and chicken al chianti. I ate about half of the full chicken breast, with some onions, mushrooms, in a sauce. Also ate 3 -4 of the roasted potato pieces. That was enough. I was sorry we couldn't take it home.
Today:
half a Luna Bar before 10 mile fast ride along the beach. Then we ditched the B and B breakfast and went out.
B:veggie omelette with a a little provolone, 2 slices whole wheat toast, 2 chicken apple sausages, coffee
L/S: I didn't really have lunch. On the way home from the Cape, we had to stop and sign papers for my new car, which I am getting tomorrow. I ate the rest of the Luna Bar and when I got home I ate a slice of Ezekial bread with hummus and some nuts and cranberries
D: ratatouille (from a Paleo recipe) over some pasta made of quinoa and amaranth, 2 squares dark chocolate
S: apple slices with soy nut butter
back on track tomorrow...
Yesterday:
B:Cereal, 1%. Black tea with half-and-half and sugar.
L: some seriously questionable peanut noodles. I think they were in the fridge a little too long...
D: Cheese on toast (white cheddar on one, Cotswold on the other), strawberries, a couple pieces of chocolate
Today:
Cereal with 1%
Half a bottle of coconut water stuff
19.2 mile ride. I booked it on the way back to avoid rain, which never materialized. :rolleyes:
McD's at the turnaround point. I think I need to eat more before I ride. (6 chicken nuggets, small fries, 3/4 of a small Coke (incl. ice))
Chai latte on the way home.
Tiny bag of chocolate caramels, the other half of the coconut water
Onion+egg fried in butter, with grated white cheddar and Red Dragon on whole wheat toast. SO good. (Bacon would be an interesting addition...) Strawberries.
Water's on for decaf tea and a mini pastry.
I need to eat more veggies. Fixings are in the fridge for a mango-strawberry lassi tomorrow morning, and I have to work out what I'm eating for lunch and dinner for the rest of the week...Hm.
Today:
B: Kashi Autumn shredded wheat cereal with 6 almonds and a few raisins, 2 whole egg + in egg white, skim milk, coffee

S: banana
90 minute workout
Cliff Builders bar on the way home - so I just had a banana, a bit of PB and some skim milk to finish off my impromptu "dinner". It is really hard to track calories when I've eaten out... I don't think I did too badly at lunch but it is hard to say.

Awesome 20.5 mile ride and broke my 13.3 mph average for the first time this year :) My heart rate was up there though, hit some good little winds here and there and burned some calories. About 1/2 serving of Hammer Heed during the ride (diluted in my "special" bladder for my Camelbak).
A bit of milk and 7 sweet potato tortilla chips when I walked in the door
D: Big salad with chicken, mushrooms, garden fresh radishes and greens, made a little dressing with MY home-made mayo, skim milk.

Let's just say that today was irregular. But I will post my recipes for my cinqo de mayo dinner:
TACOS!
Chop pork steak and fresh pineapple into bite size pieces. Toss in ancho chile powder and whole cumin with a few pinches of kosher salt. Pan fry them. Warm up some corn tortillas in a pan and serve with chopped onion and cilantro.
Margaritas!
2 oz tequila (I prefer Espolon or Leyenda del Milagro for taste and value)
1 oz cointreau
2 lemons fresh squeezed
splash of San Pelligrino aranciata for some fizz
shake with ice and serve with a salty rim!
