I think I just heard you all the way in central Indiana - weeeeeee :) Looking forward to hearing/reading about it. I note a lack of ice cream from your daily fuel yesterday, I think it would be a fine way to mark the milestone of heading over the Great Divide ;)Quote:

Had a banana right before bed because my stomach was growling.
Ate meat for the first time in six years and I really don't feel so great. :( Had a luncheon with a group of older "church ladies" and I realized late last night that I hadn't told them about being a veg. No time this morning to prepare something to take and not wanting to hurt feelings, I ate some of the chicken casserole. Green salad had bacon in it and rice salad was prepared with chicken broth. I'll be just fine, but today's experience confirmed that I am quite happy and satisfied with my plant-based diet.
Another rest day :( Urban ride planned at dark 30 tomorrow to beat the heat.

B: steel cut oats with blueberries, whole egg + egg white, skim milk, coffee
9 hour meeting at work today - no snacks

did some yoga

D: well, sort of. Met a friend for drinks, I had 2 glasses of red wine, and shared some veal/proscuitto meat balls (3) in marinara, bread, and some flat bread with veggies among 3 people. That was it; we went and helped our son move some furniture and I just ate a slice of Ezekial raisin bread
B: rice chex, 1% milk, strawberries, coffee
L: 6 inch roast beef sammy at subway
Snack - handful of cherries

Went on a 45.7 mile ride in the 90-94 degree heat. It was mostly flat and shady. During the ride I had 3 bottles of water plus Nuun, one Shot Block

D: Large salad with flank steak, daikon and red radish, with a wasabi vinaigrette.
Oof. I'm not vegetarian, but I was de facto vegetarian for a time in college when I was taking summer classes, couldn't afford to eat out much and didn't have access to dining halls or proper storage/cooking facilities for meat. When my parents came to pick me up to take me back home, they took me out for dinner. I am a carnivore; I ordered a steak. Good steak, but I regretted it that night!Quote:

It was a wonderful place to grow up, suburban, with lots of woods to play in, and about 5 miles from downtown Boston. We considered moving there after the kids left home, but in the interim, we started cycling and realized we live in an area that most of eastern MA comes to for their rides. Newton is very crowded and full of traffic now.
