[Crankin]

non fat greek yogurt with blueberries and almonds, coffee
salad w/left over quinoa and veggies, chicken, an orange

17.2 mile kind of crappy ride to the Farmer's Market in the next town. Not feeling that well and then some older man was trying to catch me near the spot where I turned off the main road to the street where the market is, so I sprinted, which on my hybrid, is not easy. Dumb.

small roll with olive oil and a slice of Machengo cheese when I got home

brown rice made with light coconut milk and hot sauce, black beans, peppers, onions, queso fresco. 2 pieces dark chocolate

Yesterday:

Bowl of cereal, milk
18-mile bike ride; one shot block and water on the ride

Once I got back in the parking lot (so, lunch/recovery food, right?)
Pina colada-flavored shaved ice (feeling nostalgic, haven't had it in ages), a pulled-pork sandwich with barbeque sauce, lemonade, Starbucks stop on the way home for caffeine fix.
This mostly served to remind me that I was hungry.
Lunch part II: the pulled pork that had fallen out of the sandwich, with barbeque sauce, brown rice, an apple, water.
mixed green salad with goat cheese, garlic hummus with pita chips
~ 1 scoop Ben and Jerry's Cheesecake Brownie ice cream.

I gained even more after eating normally for a long ride day today... not sure what is going on with my body. The red light danger zone is flashing and I am not sure what to do...

Is it that time of the month? Did you eat enough yesterday? I gain weight after rides. Maybe I retain water cause I eat so much salt? Maybe you do too?

Water retention after long or hard rides is just part of the body repairing itself. It's temporary. Don't sweat it.

[Crankin]

Ha, I haven't had that time of the month in 9 years...
I do react to eating a lot of salt, but I don't eat a lot of it. I ate what would be considered "normal" for a day when I do a long ride. Other days, I am trying to stay away from too many carbs, even whole wheat. But, I have been gaining weight for about a week. I am also not feeling that well, basically pollen allergies gone haywire. Just got back from the doc, who feels because of my history with sinus infections and asthma, put me on a second round of antibiotics, in addition to all of the natural and OTC stuff I do. Not a good way to be feeling when I am starting a new job .
Obviously I will be resting today and at the most I will take a walk and do yoga tomorrow. I know I shouldn't have gone on an almost 50 mile ride yesterday, but...
Hoping my body is just going through some weird "thing" and will get back on track.
