OK, I'm back. I won't go into what I ate on vacation. Most of it wasn't awful, but it wasn't my usual, either. Lots of wine and beer, as well as 2 nights of gelato. Of course the breakfasts at the B and B were not spartan, but not the worst, either, in that they had turkey bacon, chicken sausage, and the portions were not huge.

Today
B: egg white omelette with lox and goat cheese, coffee
L: veggie burger patty on 2 slices of tomato, cole slaw, blueberries, half a cup of tomato red pepper soup
S: two pieces of Machengo cheese, whole wheat pita chips
D: "pizza" on whole wheat naan, with fig preserve pesto, goat cheese, toasted walnuts. I ate the whole naan; probably could have done with half.

[Owlie]

I fail to see how two nights of gelato is a bad thing. (That was something I didn't take advantage of before I left Cleveland...)

B: Glass of milk with chai.
L: Bowl of cereal with milk
S: Cherries, slice of cake, wasabi peas
D: Sweet and sour chicken (homemade), with brown rice and some kind of vegetable (broccoli? Don't know what my mom threw in the pot when I wasn't looking!)
Dessert: Probably a slice of leftover cheesecake and fruit of some kind.

[spokewench]

Bowl of shredded wheat, 1% milk, Coffee
L Piece of WG toast, peanut butter
handful of almonds
sirloin steak, au gratin potatoes, veges, glass of wine, few bites of custard (it was my birthday dinner!)

I've decided that I am eating too many carbs and too much fat on non-ride days. I've gained a little weight and body fat which I am not happy about - riding more will take care of that but I need to keep a tighter rein on my diet for non-ride days.

Yesterday:

B: Steel cut oats with blueberries, a little PB + skim milk and coffee
S: Chobani non-fat yogurt
L: two thin slices whole wheat sourdough bread with two slices turkey bacon, sprouts and tomato. Apple.
S: banana
D: Cliff bar
S: small amount of bran cereal with low-fat chocolate milk....I need to go shopping.
