What did you eat today?

[emily_in_nc]

Ack, my weight is driving me crazy... I guess I need to ride more!

I spoke too soon - was up a lb. this morning! But I did overdo the eating a bit yesterday. Hopefully today's run helped a bit, but I ate enough to make up for the calories. Kicking myself b/c I ate a bag (candy-bar size) of M-n-Ms, even. I never eat stuff like that, but they were a gift left from our apartment maintenance guys (they leave them when they come in to replace filters), and I was starving this afternoon after my run.

Today:

B - organic whole grain cereal, protein powder, chopped mango and almond milk on top, 2 cups coffee
S - Stonyfield OG low-fat banilla yogurt
~~ 3.25 mile run ~~
L - 1/2 cheese sandwich on whole grain bread, lettuce, small amt. mayo, tangelo, water
S - M-n-Ms
S - carrot/celery/spinach/oj blender drink
D - kale, tomato, roasted red peppers on whole wheat pasta with feta, salad w/homemade dressing, glass of white wine
D - 2 small squares very dark chocolate (should have stuck with one!)

I decided to add a little more whole wheat carbs back in, in the AM, as I am still hungry, even with all the protein I eat. I'm having a lot of allergy issues, and craving comfort food.

half a whole wheat bagel with low fat cream cheese, egg whites (2), strawberries and blueberries
string cheese
lentil salad
cranberries and nuts
ate the other half of a bagel with hummus when I got home

whole wheat Boboli with low fat mozzarella, goat cheese, chicken, slices of peaches, drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil (2 slices) and a salad,
1 piece of dark chocolate

2 eggs, 2 slices ww toast
slice of ww bread with pb and a banana
slice of veggie no cheese pizza (not by choice) and 4 pierogies (I keep these in the freezer at work, which is why I eat them so much on commute days)
string cheese to make up for the pizza
a couple of pieces of pate de fruit, before my ride
2 bowls of pasta with spinach and tomato sauce
a pear
a bowl of raspberry sorbet and vanilla bean ice cream
a slice of toast with butter

I swear, any saving I have in gas from commuting, I make up for in food. My weight's been dipping, and I don't like to get too thin, because my face gets gaunt. I need to buy more nuts.

Lunch: ham/cheese quiche (was famished when I got to my hotel)
S: apple
D: draft Fat Tire beer, chips/dip, grilled chicken, wonderful veggie blend...then I looked at the dessert table and gave into the allure of cheese cake

It is like midnight my time, or close to it, and am exhausted after that meal & very long travel day + first conference session. I will have to do much better if I've any hope of weighing the same Thursday.

Alarm is set for a very early trip to the fitness center
