    I have to get back to this thread. Although I didn't eat horribly during my long weekend in AZ, the last day did me in. I feel lumpy and my clothes are tight. It's mostly a question of exercise with me, but although I had planned for an outdoor ride this weekend, I am not sure it will happen now. Nordic skiing is over unless I travel up north... hiking doesn't seem to maintain my weight and I can barely tolerate the trainer, although I do sweat!
    Today so far
    B: egg white omelete with low fat cheddar, 2 slices turkey bacon, tea, V-8
    S: string cheese
    L: an orange, a can of tuna in olive oil with roasted red peppers
    dinner tonight is going to be chicken with cumin/spices in a homemade salsa with black beans

    I always feel that way after flying, so maybe that's contributing.

    I've not been very good lately...I think it is the weather that has had me a little down - and that increases temptation to eat what I shouldn't.

    Today:

    B: roasted chicken breast + 2 pieces sprouted rye toast and 1 cup of skim milk (over-slept and had to grab something ready to eat)

    S: no-fat chocolate yogurt

    L: roasted chicken breast, steamed mixed veggies, small spinach tortilla.

    S:? Don't yet know

    I am planning a 70-90 minute bike ride if I can fit it in & I've something at church tonight.

    D: depends on the time I have - either an egg-white omelet and light salad, or more chicken breast and veggies.

    I tend to roast 5-6 skinless chicken breasts in advance so it is quick, then I just need to worry about veggies. I typically get more creative on the weekend.

    I'm challenging others to post when they are not so good! Like, my saturday with the big greasy breakfast and the hamburger/with shake.

    We are all human and get off track sometimes, but we try!

    Yesterday:

    B: None other than coffee
    L: Romaine lettuce with lentils, feta and sun dried tomatoes in a lemon and herb vinagrette.
    S: low fat yogurt and some peanut M & Ms
    45 minute run walk
    L: Homemade veggie soup with two pieces of crusty bread
    D: scoop of ice cream (my drug of choice)

    Today:
    B: low fat yogurt
    L: Tuna salad on whole wheat and some salt and vinegar chips
    S: 3 Graham crackers
    D: leftover shrimp and veggie stir fry over brown rice
    D: Who am I kidding? I'm sure there will be ice cream

    And I'm skipping yoga tonight because I'd like to get home before rain moves into the area. I have trouble seeing at night in the rain unfortunately. I'm hoping to go tomorrow night instead, plus I have lunchtime a lunch time toning tomorrow at work. Gotta work off that ice cream!

    Thanks for taking up the challenge! When you are traveling it is so hard to keep on track; and so easy with all the choices to go off track! That's usually what happens to me. I hope you enjoyed all that you had, it sounds absolutely wonderful!
