What did you eat today?

[Crankin]

I weighed myself today for the first time since Thanksgiving. I'm reminded of that song "Danger Zone," that I had on one of my aerobics tapes.
B:2 scrambled eggs with a sweet potato, 1/4 avocado, blueberries, coffee
I went on a 5 mile hike with my cycling group. Should have gone on the ride, but I just wimped out. Of course, the hike was a prelude to the Chanukah party, but I was fairly good.
L: at above party, I had 3 slices of lox with capers, some tomato/feta salad, fruit salad, and a delicious kale salad. I only ate one latke, and had a little bit of turkey.
D: small amount of the left over bean and sweet potato soup. still one more serving left. Had some almonds and cranberries for dessert and a glass of red wine.

LOL Crankin at the Danger Zone reference I weighed myself yesterday and was back to what I was before the holiday. My coach and training partner are both chastising me for not eating enough again...I need to add more starchy carbs back into my diet so have been working on that. 1,400-1,500 calories for my current activity level is NOT enough. I KNOW that, and I also know that I gain body fat when my calories drop that low...it is a challenge. I know that, and understand why it is that way, but I do forget.

Today (rest day)
B: frittata, 1 slice bacon, coffee
S: kefir with a small amount of protein powder mixed in
L: roasted chicken, kale chips
S: small apple
D: sweet potato bacon chocolate chili - as soon as it is done! I will have it over baby spinach - this is a fantastic recipe with a great mix of spices. I have a LOT more spices in my cabinet than I once did...

half a Lara Bar before before spin class
B:egg whites, grated cheddar, 1/4 avocado, 2 slices uncured bacon, an orange, coffee
L: can of tuna in oil, 1/4 avocado, red pepper, cup of roasted corn soup (low sodium)
S: small mocha latte, skim milk. Haven't had one in months and I know why. My stomach is weird now.
D: I made a quinoa/sweet potato burger recipe. It was a pain in the azz, but they were great. I ate one patty, with a salad, and a glass of red wine and I had a lot to freeze

The restaurant was an awesome farm to table place, that I realized is in the same spot as the pizza place I hung out in, back in my wild youth. That was sobering.
