L: TJ chicken garlic sausage, 1 piece sprouted bread, large helping steamed broccoli

Pre-ride snack: banana/PB/sprouted bread sandwich

30 mile bike ride - and it was awesome!

Post ride snack - 1 cup low fat milk with 4 tortilla chips

D: roasted, skinless chicken breast with salad (romaine lettuce, carrots, onion, tomato, balsamic vinegar dressing) and two stalks celery. 1 beer.

Am craving hot chocolate for some reason, trying to decide if I can justify the additional carbs... I need to relearn how to eat after my long rides, they will only get longer If I made it with low fat milk, would that be so bad? Probably, sigh.

Haven't posted to this thread for awhile. Tomorrow I start my pre-colonoscopy (I just turned 50) "low fiber diet". I googled for ideas of what to eat, and it's pretty much the exact opposite of my current diet. White stuff, sugar, meat, all fine. Most veggies, fruits, nuts, beans, whole grains, foggetaboutit!

This is gonna be interesting...will be doing low fiber Wed-Sat, liquids only Sun., procedure is Monday morning.

I'll try to remember to post here as I do my low-fiber diet!

if they gave you 'go lightly' be warned: it's a damn lie.
Make sure you get some yogurt or other live-culture goodies post-procedure to help your system settle.
