What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

This is an unusual weekend for me:

Yesterday:

B: steel cut oats (dried cranberries and blueberries), a bit of PB, 2 whole eggs, skim milk, coffee

4 hour mountain bike trail building work-session (we were actually closing/reclaiming rogue trails). Lots of Rhino work and hiking

L: (provided by REI) Turkey lunchmeat sandwich on a small white hoagie roll, cheese, mustard. Small bag of corn chips and as I was still starving also had a small bag of pb/cracker rounds and a partial slice of cheese. I normally wouldn't eat any of it outside of the turkey and cheese - but I seriously needed some food. Oh yes, there was also a bottle of lovely homemade beer that a co-trail-worker gave me - yummy!

D: large baby spinach salad with roasted skinless chicken breast, tomato, green onions, a few almonds, fresh olive oil/balsamic vinegar dressing. Skim milk. Dessert was a couple of strawberries, a few tablespoons of fat-free Greek yogurt, and a very good glass of Cow Bell Porter.

Today

Today will be even more unusual. I am a member of a large Greek Orthodox parish and we've a huge event after church today that involves the visit of a Greek folk music band, dancing, and traditional Greek food for lunch and dinner. This is to be a noon - evening event and will be great. I don't intend on being there the entire day...at some point will leave and go home to ride my bike.

B: 1 slice Ezekial toast with a bit of PB, low-fat mozz. cheese stick, coffee.

Haha last night after yesterdays 40 miles of massive hills I couldn't keep myself from devouring an entire pint of Americone Dream B & J's. Did another 40 this morning!!! I figure I've offset the 1200 or so calories by 80 miles of riding

Off for Pho now!

[Owlie]

Wow! I think I'd be sick if I ate a whole pint of ice cream!

[Reesha]

I teetered on the edge, Owlie. I couldn't stop myself during but kind of regretted it after because my stomach was so full of ice cream. (Emphasis on kind of because it was heavenly!)

B: 2 scrambled eggs with salsa, 2 slices of Canadian bacon, half a grapefruit, small latte with 1% milk, another cup of plain coffee
S: slice of Ekekial sprouted whole wheat bread with soy nut butter before a 30 minute run/walk
L: quinoa with black beans, an apple
S: nuts and cranberries, coffee
D: 2 chicken thighs with garlic and olive oil, baked summer squash with nutmeg and sprinkle of brown sugar, glass of red wine, 2 squares dark chocolate

[Catrin]

The rest of the day - I post when I am good so figured I should post when I am not so good...

L: roast lamb & a small amount of roast pork, Greek salad, lots of feta and 2 olives, Greek green beans (basically cooked with tomatoes and olive oil), rice, roll, large piece of heavenly baklava. Ok, so I guess that wasn't too bad outside of dessert

19.5 mile ride that may have burned up the calories from the lovely baklava. Perhaps.

D: fruited wild rice salad with roasted skinless chicken breast. 1 beer.

Making cookies for my lbs guys...sadly I can't make cookies without eating some. 5 small cookies with a bit of skim milk...

[solobiker]

B: 1/2 bagle with 1 T of PB

spent 4 plus hours hiking at altitude with about 3000 of climbing involved. During the hike I ate a cliff bar, an apple and a luna bar

Late lunch: 1/2 pita pockt with veggies and some chicken and a few chips

D: small salad with some turkey.

Haha last night after yesterdays 40 miles of massive hills I couldn't keep myself from devouring an entire pint of Americone Dream B & J's.

I've tasted that Americone Dream stuff...and I can see how a whole pint could easily disappear! That's some good sheet!

I don't know why I haven't been posting lately...maybe because my intake doesn't vary all that much?

Today
B: 2 eggs, 1.5 cups mixed veggies, 1/4 avocado
S: coffee with half n half and a banana
L: grass fed beef burger topped with sauteed onions, 2 cups broccoli and cauliflower
S: 1 oz raw cheddar and an apple
D: grass fed beef liver and caramelized onions, sauteed zucchini

Today - did better with the calories, pretty much hit my target for a much-needed rest day:

B: steel cut oats (with dried cranberries and blueberries), a bit of PB, 1 whole egg & 1 egg white, skim milk, coffee

S: small apple, mozz. stick

L: small amount of fruited wild rice salad with a roasted skinless chicken breast

S: small banana and a few almonds

D:baby spinach, more fruited wild rice salad, roasted skinless chicken breast, kale chips, a small amount of English sheep's milk cheese, skim milk

[solobiker]

Okay...not a good day for me. I did quite a bit over the weekend so today was a "rest" day. I commuted to/from work and went on an hr long walk.

B: Oatmeal with some almonds and raisons

S: Apple with a few almonds

L: Bread thin with a few pieces of turkey and some pretzles

This is where I fell apart.

Some Irish Soda Bread, and a small chicken tender

D: uhm...I hate to admit this....a Hot Dog. They are ones we purchased from Rochester NY where DH and I both are from. They were shipped out to CO for us. I also had some chips.

Feel pretty bad about eating that junk. Back on my healthy eating tomorrow. I am eating some frozen fruit as I write this.

Please tell me I am not a bad person...I Just made some poor choices

AM Workout: Ran a 5k-- I have been having so much trouble getting passed the 26min 5k and today i said--FORGET THIS! and ran it in 24. Shaved off 2 minutes with sheer mind power.
Breakfast: 1/2 cup of almond/cashew mix with coffee
Lunch: PB&J (whole wheat, sugar free jelly, natural PB, with naner slices) and a sliced apple
Dinner: 1c taboli (no oil..allergies), a grilled chicken salad with tomatoes, 1/2 an avocado, and light ranch (made with 2% bc of my darn lactose intolerant self lol)
Oops: I made cupcakes for a friend and I licked the frosting spoon LOL--so maybe 50-100 calories? IDK if it's worth adding in.
Snack: Mango--I got impatient. It wasn't ripe but i ate it anyway LOL

A hot dog and chips occasionally is not the end all be all - don't worry, hope you enjoyed them! I love a hot dog a few times a year!
