What did you eat today?

[spokewench]

Well, I can't eat much less than I do now. I guess I need more and/or longer exercise? The cycling season has started, but we had snow yesterday (not any left on the ground, thankfully), more snow predicted for Thursday. and then cold all weekend So, I may have to put the bike on the trainer for the weekend. But, I am still running, walking, doing core work, weights, and yoga. It's just not the same as long rides a few times a week, like when it gets warmer. I definitely cannot run for 2 hours like I put in on the bike on Sunday.

I feel your pain - I could cut out beer and wine, but I like it too much! We had about 7-9 inches yesterday so I snow shovelled. Does that count?

Anyway, I'll play tennis tomorrow and hopefully do more stuff this week. I have tennis for Saturday and Sunday planned. The problem with me is that after bike racing for 19 years, I think I developed a very efficient machine that doesn't need that much food. I do know that when I biked, toward the end, I did not need to eat as much as I did when I was younger.

Anyways, I will try to ride more as we get better weather to add to the tennis and hopefully, I can get rid of the 8 pound 50 year bulge around my middle!

Tri Girl - it happens to the best of us! All we can do is get back on the bandwagon with our next meal! Were they thin mints really good?

I don't like them so I would not have eaten them; but if you like them, it might have been worth it!

[Tri Girl]

they were good, but I feel disgusting now (inside and out). I'll wind up eating a dozen Tums to counteract the heartburn I'll have for sure. Most days I'm good- but sometimes I just can't stop myself. I'm not a binge eater. Usually I'm pretty even-keel. Every few months I swear it's like a light switch goes on and I devour whatever is in sight. I hate when I do this...

Soup for dinner (if I'm even hungry at that point).

(((Tri Girl))) I think you need a hug. Whatever happened to bringing a teacher an apple? There's no such thing as will power, not when cookies are concerned.

today:

bowl of oatmeal with blueberries and milk
2 slices of whole wheat toast and cottage cheese
Vietnamese Bun (rice noodle dish) with fried tofu
a blueberry Greek yogurt
half an orange (if you're wondering about my halves of fruit, I always share with my bf. It's like sacrilege to eat a piece without giving him half, especially oranges)
6 potato pierogies, sauteed cabbage and carrots
I'll have more fruit tonight, probably an apple and an orange (or half ).
