What did you eat today?

[Crankin]

Ah, Spokewrench, I went on my honeymoon in Oak Creek canyon. It was Dec., we rented a cabin, and it was such a long time ago, there was NOTHING to do in Sedona for entertainment. We decided to drive to Flag to see a movie, got caught in a snowstorm and our rear wheel drive car ended up in the center median of I-17. We went home early!

Today:
B: non fat Greek yogurt, blueberries, dried cranberries, almonds, 2 slices of turkey bacon, coffee
S: nuts and cranberries
L: salad with lettuce, tomatoes,ham, chicken, cheddar, balsamic vinegar, an apple
S: Luna bar
D: spicy Mexican style soup with chicken, chilis, tomato, baked tortilla strips with chipolte powder, avocado, 2 squares chocolate

I don't usually participate in this thread, but the roasted chicken talk caught my attention. I use a super simple Thomas Keller recipe that I found on Epicurious a while back...high heat, little adulteration, perfect yummy chicken every time. I probably do one of these a week when cooler weather sets in. The "recipe" (if you can really call it that) can be found at http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/fo...Chicken-231348

And in the spirit of the thread, I actually do track my food. I take pictures of my food every time I eat and post it to a blog that no one but me ever looks at. I mostly use it to remind myself of what time it was when I last ate something.

Oh, for people out of state, ending up in the median on I 17 in the winter is a holiday experience! We have some of the worst winter driving experiences in the country and they are the most surprising because all of a sudden you are in winter country!

Yea, well, I wasn't from out of state then, just from Tempe. My DH was bragging how he learned to drive in the snow in PA, but I am pretty sure he had snow tires or chains there! And the way AZ handles snow is different than in the east; here the roads are plowed and down to the black top in minutes (hours). It seems like in AZ they minimally plow the main roads and just close the other ones! I am sure that may have changed since the last time I was in in Flagstaff, in a blizzard in Feb. 1990.

Nope, haven't changed a bit - they do not plow well.

Weigh in bright and early Friday: 121.4

I gained almost a pound. This is the first time since December. I did eat more calories, a lot more. I had problems with my appetite all week. Plus, I think last week my weight was artificially low as a pound and a half loss seemed too much.

1 granola bar
brown rice and vege concoction with chicken italian sausage and tomato sauce
D: 2 chicken tacos, rice and beans, 1 glass white wine, 1/2 glass of beer
