Saving some groceries for family members who will be visiting me shortly (right now not sure where they are in the city. And I bet they barely know themselves but having a good time. :) ) I need to stay at home and clean up my place before they descend upon here. :o

Yesterday was a rest day outside of a lengthy gentle stretching session with some corrective exercises at my gym. Still rehabbing my bent boob/chest muscles. Much better, but still somewhat sore.
Yesterday:
B: Kashi Autumn Wheat cereal with raisins, skim milk, 1 whole egg with 1egg white
L: roasted skinless chicken wrap with salsa, a bit of cheese, skim milk
S: orange
D: romaine lettuce "wraps" with roasted skinless chicken, sliced whole tomato, a few baked multi-grain tortilla chips. Skim milk.
Rest day again today - so my diet won't differ too much today, though a beer will likely be added. Tomorrow I plan on starting to ramp up my activity levels, starting with a ride. I may ride later today depending on weather.
Five corn dogs. Life is short, enjoy it
When we first moved here from AZ, DS #1 was addicted to corn dogs. Alas, no grocery store within Greater Boston or southern NH carried them. He had to go cold turkey. He just recently told me he served tofu corn dogs at a bbq he had at his house. That just seems wrong.
B: half a whole wheat bagel, with melted low fat cheddar, 2 eggs over easy, blueberries, tea
22 mile ride, bottle of Nuun
L: veggie wrap on a whole wheat wrap at a cafe, carbonated water, 4 oz. no fat frozen yogurt in a cone
S: coffee, slice of Ezekial bread
D: kind of late... I made home made pizza (OK, not the crust) with roasted pepper, zucchini, basil, and fontina cheese on whole wheat dough, one glass of rose wine
I had way too much bread yesterday, but, I seem to need it when I'm riding in the heat.
I remember corn dogs, I always loved the taste but my body doesn't like them :( Kind of like popcorn, my taste-buds and body have different reactions to them, sadly.
Today:
First Breakfast: Kashi Autumn Wheat cereal with skim milk, 5 almonds, coffee
22.5 mile bike ride
Second Breakfast: 4 ounces pulled chicken breast with a bit of cheddar melted on it, salsa, 1 slice Ezekiel bread toast
1 hour advanced Bosu class with weights (HARD class)
1.25 hour hard metabolic/functional fitness group training (I never know what to call it)
post-workout snack: Power bar (toffee chocolate chip)
L: chile-onion tortilla with 4 ounces pulled chicken, a bit of cheese, salsa, romaine lettuce. Skim milk and 1 cup Blue Bell Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream for dessert.
Dinner will probably feature garlic chicken sausage, brown rice medley, a small salad and a beer. There will be an evening snack of fruit.
I won't be meeting my net calorie targets for today... Had fun though :)
Yowza, Catrin. That's a lot in one day for somebody who is recovering from a couple of injuries and has had some muscles prone to overuse issues.
ETA: I know you love to push yourself and that's great. Just be careful! :)
I didn't INTEND to do all of that, but it was fun. It was also using different muscles and I would have stopped at the first suggestion of pain. There wasn't any :) These workouts are very different from anything I've done before - though I won't be mixing those two classes in the future.Quote:

39 mile ride. I ate a Luna Bar throughout the ride and had one Shot Block and one and half bottles of Nuun, with additional water. It was hot and humid.

I am stuffed, but the heat took it all out of me today on my ride.
1 egg, 1 piece wg toast, butter, oj, coffee
1 chicken thigh, pasta salad w/ veges
Snack: 1 beer
Dinner: two beef tacos, rice, whole beans
I have the same reaction (to both corn dogs and popcorn) so eating those would not be 'living' in my world! ;)Quote:

Hope the surgery goes smoothly!Quote:
