Last night dinner at Chez Trek & Knott:

Chili made with leftover pork roast from the night before, Knott cooked pork shoulder in a crock pot in red salsa with onions, red and yellow bell peppers. It was delish.

So last night I took the leftover pork, slow simmered it with garbanzo beans, sauteed yellow onions, lots of garlic, diced fresh tomatoes. Topped with scallions, avocado and cheddar. Followed by berry sorbet and port. Delish again!

I have a Greek salad started now with cucumbers, tomatoes, red and yellow peppers, feta cheese all marinating in a garlic, cracked black pepper dressing. Plan is to serve that with some manner of sausage, maybe sauteed baby kale too.

Yesterday was Palm Sunday for the Orthodox Church, and this week is Holy Week so there will be less exercise and probably not so many calories this week due to there being very little time. I will make up for that at our traditional Greek Lamb meal after the Paschal (Easter) service (3am Sunday morning), and then another small celebration late Sunday afternoon. I will also have my traditional Pascha Bike Ride...well, traditional to ME My quad could use some serious rest time this week anyway. I WILL exercise at the gym, but only twice.

Yesterday:
B: small amount of bran cereal with nuts, skim milk
L: white fish, couscous, asparagus (all with this wonderful olive topping). Salad with raspberry vinigerette, small amount of sherbert (we have some incredible gourmet cooks in my parish)

90 minute workout (including warm up/cool down)
post-workout snack: 1/2 Honey Stinger Protein Bar (love this, but too much fat, too much sodium, too much sugar).

D: roasted skinless chicken breast, sauteed water cress and bok choy, brown rice with black barley. skim milk
