Crankin, I almost picked up a wedge of Machengo cheese today from Trader Joes, but the price encouraged me to try a wedge of "Lite Sharp Celtic Cheddar" instead, we will see.

Last night when I came home from a hard spinning class, I found myself craving fat. Any kind of fat, but I didn't have anything! No nuts, no cheese, no whole eggs, all of my dairy is non-fat...didn't even have any nut butter. Almonds and cheese went on this morning's shopping list for Trader Joe's. I am beginning to wonder if I should try to lower my carbs further and raise my fat (good fats, of course) and see if that is what's been going on with my weight plateau. This isn't the first time I've recently craved fats after a hard workout.

Yesterday:

B: Steel cut oats, egg whites, skim milk, coffee

S: apple and 2 tiny choc/mint truffles

L: left-over yummy chicken/veggie/spinach soup with a bit of brown rice

S: Cliff Bar

30 minute brisk walk, 90 minutes spinning (45 steady state, 45 minute class)

D: more left-over yummy chicken/veggie/spinach soup with brown rice

[Crankin]

Machengo cheese *is* expensive. But, I am so addicted to it. It's cheaper at Trader Joe's than anywhere else. Frankly, I don't mind paying for good food and good bicycles.

[Crankin]

half a banana before spin class at 5:30
B: sandwich on a whole wheat bagel with low salt ham and low fat Havarti cheese, blueberries and strawberries, coffee

L: salad with arugula, chicken, goat cheese, red pepper, cup of roasted red pepper soup

S: slice of ww bread and hummus

D: well, at my Chanukah party, so a little (a lot) more than usual: small slice of chicken with orange sauce, chunk of salmon with sauce verte, piece of kugel (noodle pudding) 1.5 potato pancakes with applesauce on top, salad with fennel, half a bagel with cream cheese. 2 glasses of wine. one brownie and one slice of sour cream chocolate cake.

Breakfast today began with:

cornflakes with skim milk + fresh cut pineapple, tea with milk.....and a piece of chocolate mousse cake from Christmas dinner. Gosh this will take awhile to whittle down.

But in my mind, eating a piece at beginning of day is better than at the end.

[Catrin]

Today is indeed another day...

B: egg whites with a bit of no-fat cottage cheese and turkey bacon

S: chocolate chip cookies...the remainder are now in the freezer

L: apple with no-fat cottage cheese

Dietary beer goggles, Catrin?

I made a batch of shortbread (chai-flavored), and my mom made multiple batches of various Goan sweets (the cookies are incredibly addicting), in addition to what my great aunt sent us. Plus there's the tray of baklava, and the cake, and...
I swear I ride my bike so that I can keep eating dessert.

B: whole grain cereal with pecans with milk
S: latte
L: Turkey sandwich (with cheese, lettuce and cranberry sauce), some low-salt chips, half a slice of pizza
fast, slightly chilly 18-mile bike ride
S: An embarrassing number of cookies, tea with milk and half-and-half
