I then rode 7 miles to a group ride that was fast and humid, kind of hot, too. I drank 1.5 bottles of Accelerade Light, ate a Lara Bar, and one Shot Block. Poured about half the other bottle over my head and down my jersey, and drank the rest. The ride was 39 miles. Got back to the start, at a member's home and had lunch:
one chicken thigh, salad with vinaigrette, about a half a cup of rice/beans, lots of lemondade/
Then I had to ride home. With a backpack, as I had brough fresh shorts and my hair brush, hygiene supplies for the lunch/ride home. Another hot 7 miles. Total of 52.3 miles
S: had a 6 inch whole wheat pita and hummus, lots of wter

L: home made chicken salad with cranberries and walnuts, an apple

S: 1 beer
D: Bora Bora Meatballs and probably some sauteed veggies. Planning on also making cumin-roasted carrots but that might happen after dinner for the work week.
The meatball recipe is great, but the name is most appropriate "Bora Bora Fireballs", I cut the cayenne pepper way back but it is still quite spicy. Very good mix with the pineapple in the recipe!
Well, yesterday was a big eating day for the metric, which had about 3,200 ft. of climbing. I can deal with it.
B: whole wheat bagel, light cream cheese and lox, with 2 scrambled eggs and one cup of coffee.
During the ride I had about 2 bottles of Accelerade and half a bottle of water, 2 Lara Bars, and 2 Shot Blocks.
Lunch was part of the after ride festivities, and I did not want the vegetarian option! I had a pulled pork sandwich, cole slaw AND a small piece of corn bread. Also 2 beers were free with the lunch, and I had 1.5, compliments of the Sam Adams Brewery.
D: went out for a really good Italian dinner at a restaurant in the town I used to teach in. I ate a whole plate of parpadelle, tomatoes, and ricotta and had 2 glasses of wine.
Back on track today, but still pretty hungry :eek:.
B: 2 eggs scrambled, toast, hashbrowns, coffee and oj
L: 1 sammy with turkey and swiss, wg bread
3 oreo cookies, milk
D: 2 chicken tacos, with rice, 1 beer
1 small piece of carrot cake
I've seen the scale creep up a couple of pounds, it seems to really help posting here so time to get back to it. Interesting that the gain happened when I started allowing dairy back into my diet - I think it is likely to be causing some bloating so back to only having dairy on very special occasions after today.
Today (rest day):
B: eggs scrambled with baby greens, 1 slice fresh side, fermented veggies, coffee
L: 4 Bora Bora Fireballs, more greens, followed with 1 small scoop of decadent chocolate/bacon gelato!
D: Planning on roasted chicken, cumin-roasted carrots, and a salad with whatever veggies are in the fridge.
Crankin, you SHOULD have been hungry after that ride :) I might consider a bike ride tonight, but considering I've worked out the last 4 days in a row at one thing or another, and I've plans for the next three days...I need a rest day. Perhaps a gentle stroll after dinner.
yesterday:
B: small bowl of plain Greek non fat yogurt, blueberries, strawberries, walnuts, left over veggie/black bean burger, coffee
L: huge veggie salad with roasted chicken and chick peas, fig vinegar, an orange
S: slice of spelt bread with light cream cheese
D: grilled salmon, broccoli, sweet potato wedges, glass of white wine
The cumin-roasted carrots I had with dinner were incredible! I then charted my food for the last few days and figured out why I put on a couple of pounds in a few days (outside of the dairy-bloating), I've not been getting enough calories... I KNOW better than to not chart my food, for my calorie intake always drops when I do that and I am far too active for 1,200 calories!!! My coach has been known to slap me on the wrists for this, and he is right.
HERE is the cumin-roasted carrots recipe. I was starving and ate the entire thing...though it wasn't a full pound of carrots :eek: This is my favorite way to cook carrots. I diced them into half-inch coins rather than slicing them like fries. Also added 2 Bora Bora Fireballs when I saw my total intake for the day, even WITH the gelato - which was only 100 calories.
Crankin - I am curious about the fig vinegar...
I am obsessed with gourmet vinegars to be used as salad dressing. They taste so good, I only add olive oil for more special dinners. You can get them at various places like farm markets, cheese shops, TJs, etc. We have an olive oil and vinegar store in town where you can do tastings and that's where I get mine. I used to order on line until the store opened, though.
