What did you eat today?

[Susan Otcenas]

Saturday:

B: Eggs scrambled with peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, onions, zucchini, scallions & cheddar. Cantaloupe.
S: Vegan scone & soy latte from Peet's coffee
L & D (3pm, so it served as both): assorted sashimi, rice, agedashi tofu, saba shioyaki (grilled salted mackeral), miso soup.
Waaaaay too much food at this meal, considering the only thing that got exercised was my credit card while shopping for a new dress for a special occasion.


Sunday:
B: 10 grain hot cereal. Cantaloupe.
S: 1/2 fruit/nut bar
Ride food (35 mile bike ride): Clif Bar
Lunch: An enormous meat, cheese & veggie calzone. It was enough for 2 people, but I ate it all nonetheless. I felt a little sick after. You ever have one of those meals when you *know* you should stop, but you just can't help yourself? That was this meal.
D: A whole lotta grapes picked fresh from the vine. I ate them as I picked them.
Before bed snack - Blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Boy oh boy, was this the capper to a total food day disaster, or what?! The blackberries were *also* fresh picked, and Jeff simply had to make cobbler. I have no willpower around Jeff's homemade cobblers!!

Today:
Pre-run fuel: yogurt
Run fuel (12 miles, 2hr 10min) - 3 Gu Roctane
B: Apple Cinnamon hot cereal. Grapes. Pear.
S: Plain nonfat yogurt with 1 tsp jam. Coffee with chocolate soy milk.
L: Flatout wrap with 2 oz. turkey
Planned afternoon snack: Pear
Planned dinner: Tofu with sauteed Swiss Chard. Steamed broccoli & cauliflower. Green salad.

After the weekend of overeating I just had, today is shaping up much better!

After the weekend of overeating I just had, today is shaping up much better!

I'm such a bad influence!

OK, for me today:
B: french toast (whole grain organic bread, 1.5 fresh eggs, a little goats milk, sugar free syrup)
S: coffee w/ goats milk & handful (15) of pretzel nuggets
L: left over veggie pizza and a small bowl of blackberries
S: grapes, most likely
D: grilled salmon, roasted beets, baked acorn squash & steamed broccoli
S: probably a zucchini muffin (assuming I get around to baking them like I hope)

I'm such a bad influence!

No you're not. Without your influence, I wouldn't have that pretty new dress! Besides, I'm a firm believer we have to take responsiblity for our own eating habits. I know I control my own destiny. The only person making me overeat was me.

roasted beets

Ooh, now *there's* a good idea! Fresh from your garden to my plate. Seems to be a recurring theme of the past couple of weeks!

BTW - I have 6 or 8 more jars of that plum jam in my freezer. I read you're out. Remind me to bring you another jar next week.

fresh plum
tea with skim milk

snack- 1 multigrain raspberry scone
coffee with milk

1 peach
tea with skim milk

Supper- pasta sauteed with beet greens, gai lan (belongs in mustard green family. It's a Chinese veggie.), red pepper, onion, garlic, ginger root, a dab of chili paste and abit of soy sauce. I cobbled this together with no recipe --amazingly filling, even kind of meaty in taste. Hard to explain this.. A colourful dish too.
