[WindingRoad]

I'm afraid to put this up

I'll do yesterday:

B: 2 eggs fried 1 tsp EVOO, 3 strips of turkey bacon, 1 piece of whole wheat toast with brummel and brown, coffee with sugar free hazelnut creamer

L: Costco dawg! Loads of kraut, sorry its the German in me, I can't help it. with a diet coke; I'm a sucker for a $1.50 lunch!

snack?: piece of lasagna, slice of pumpkin bread

after workout snack: cup of homemade yogurt with strawberry preserves in it

D: 2 small chicken breasts pan cooked with a little EVOO and a cup of cottage cheese

I must add I also did 90 minutes of spinning and I am doing a lot of strength training right now so I am intentionally adding more protein; I am aiming for a net of about 1500 calories on days I'm not working out and 1700 on days I do. That will go up when the weather gets better and I can do LONG rides. I'm training for a brevet but I'm also trying to lose weight at the same time, not a easy thing I'm discovering.

Reading a lot of these daily meals, I notice an astonishing lack of veggies.

Eat your veggies folks! They're low in calories and full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber that we need every day.

I'm working on it!

Plan for today:

B: Egg + egg white fried, English muffin. Coffee!!!!
S: Walnuts + raisins
L: Ultrameal Dutch Chocolate 1 scoop + Banana + 1 cup Plain Soy Milk, Spinach Salad
S: 1 cup veggies, Greek Yogurt + 1/4 cup granola
D: I don't know yet: I'm thinking lentil soup or something else legume-ey.
S: Popcorn? Dark Chocolate? Both?

Workout: 120 minutes on the computrainer.
