What did you eat today?

[Owlie]

5:30 am: 2 small slices homemade wholegrain bread with homemade strawberry fig jam
6:00 am: one hr cycling class
7:15 am: 20 minute transition run
7:45 am: 1 cup nonfat greek yogurt with 3/4 cup blueberries. Inhaled in the front seat of my car after the run.
8:30 am: 2 slices of Dave's Killer Bread Light, with one tablespoon Wild Squirrel's Bright-Eyed & Bushy-Tailed Peanut Butter. (This stuff is to die for. It's peanuts, ground espresso beans and little nibs of dark chocolate. oooh la la. Amazing on toast!)
12:00 pm: salad (spinach, mushrooms, sweet peppers) with balsamic vinegar. 1 medium (250 grams when raw) roasted sweet potato. 1 pear.
3:00 pm (planned snack) One cup steamed broccoli with sriracha
6:30 pm (planned dinner) Tonight's plan is a 4oz. burger made with locally-sourced grass fed beef (we bought part of a steer from our CSA), mushrooms, peppers, spices, etc. One 100cal "thin bun". Some combo of veggies on the side (probably broccoli, cauliflower & brussels sprouts). I might stir fry some kale, too. I have lots.

That peanut butter sounds amazing. Or extremely dangerous. Or both. Good thing I probably can't find it here. (Are the peanuts roasted? I can't do raw ones.)

Yup, roasted. So good.

Of course, now that I've discovered it, they discontinued that flavor. SO, I bought 2 jars and at some point shall attempt to recreate it! They have other flavors, though. So much peanut butter, so little time....

I actually met my calorie target today - but only because we had a day-long meeting that featured a working lunch ordered from Jimmy John's...

B: 2 whole eggs, steel cut oats with blueberries, skim milk, coffee
S: small apple with mozz. stick
L: Jimmy John's Beach Club sandwich without mayo (on their slim sub bread) Something like 700 calories I doubt dropping the mayo made that much difference.
Pre-workout snack: Power Bar

1 hour group training class - he kicked our buts! I have a solo workout with the same trainer tomorrow so didn't do the 30 minute Bosu class after.

D: baked tuna steak, roasted kale and bok choy, 1 slice Ezekial bread, skim milk.

Target calories today of 2,000, reached about 1,900. Wouldn't have happened with my normal lunch though. Grocery shopping tomorrow, thinking about how to mix things up!

oh man my stomach is regretting tonight!!!

My aunt made amazing homemade whole wheat pizza and then we had a cake from a local bakery. My stomach is not having this grainy overload right now! weeee! It's been months since I've had this much wheat.;

Yup, roasted. So good.

Nope, can't get it here. That almond butter looks good, though...

Today was interesting...
B: Frappucino, bacon, egg, cheese sandwich. This is getting absurd. I know I'm not sleeping terribly well, so I end up oversleeping and grabbing breakfast on the way to 'class', but still.
L: Random assortment: Beef jerky, that "life water" stuff (coconut flavored), 2 slices of pizza, a slice of cake for a classmate's birthday.
S: a few chocolate-covered espresso beans, half a protein drink
14.8 mile bike ride--2 shot blocks when I got back to the car, water
D: 3 or 4 strips of flank steak fajita (marinated in beer, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce and spices), with onions and bell pepper marinated in the same stuff, on an 8-inch tortilla with a spoonful of guacamole. It was all that would fit on the tortilla. A side of cilantro-lime rice, and most of the remaining baby arugula.

[Crankin]

What bakery, Reesha? Not that I would go there .
B: egg white frittata with Canadian bacon and mushrooms, an orange, coffee
S: 3 dried apricots
L: left over chicken salad, an apple, piece of Sheep's milk cheese, 3 whole wheat pita crackers about an hour after I finished lunch
S: nuts and cranberries
D: home made chef's salad with low salt ham and turkey, cheddar, lettuce, avocado, creamy avocado dressing, glass of red wine, 2 squares dark chocolate

[spokewench]

1 piece wg toast with peanut butter, coffee
banana
1 piece pizza w/ sausage
snack handful of goldfish crackers
1 margarita (hubby testing a new recipe) yum!
D: 4 slices of sirloin steak, roasted potatoes, zucchini, 1/2 glass red wine

[Susan Otcenas]

Today is going to be a food disaster. It started out fine....
6:00 very small banana
6:30 60 minute run
8:00 bowl of scottish oatmeal with another very small banana and some flaked coconut mixed in. Plus 1/2 cup of nonfat greek yogurt.
9:30 went to the grocery to pick up some lettuce and cilantro and couldn't resist a triple grande skinny hazelnut latte and one of those petite vanilla scones - those things are teeny, but they still have 140 calories!

Still, the Starbucks indulgence wouldn't be the end of the world, except today is "Fiesta Friday" at TE. We're having a huge Mexican Potluck! Dishes brought in include carne asada, stuffed poblano peppers, plus all the "usual" suspects (chips, guac, tortillas, cheeses, salsas, drinks, etc.) It's like a dieter's minefield in the kitchen today!

Mmm, mini vanilla bean scones! Yum!

I'm back to update for last night's dinner...again. My husband doesn't particularly like the pumpkin beef dish, so he's always finding ways of distracting me when I plan to make it. Last night, he distracted me by offering to cook dinner. He made bacon and eggs with a heap of veggies mixed in. It was delicious!

Today

B - 3/4 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 c sliced strawberries
S - coffee w cream, lara bar
L - same as yesterday - 3 cups mixed veggies, 3 oz chicken, yellow curry sauce
S - 1 oz raw cheddar, apple, 1 oz spiced nuts
D - unknown but I might make caramelized onion frittata (I know better than to plan to make that pumpkin dish again - I'm going to make it over the weekend and have it for my lunches next week).
