Last night's dinner turned out nicely. Sauteed shallots, garlic & ginger until tender, tossed in a couple chicken breasts, browned them nicely & then lowered the heat to cook them through, then tossed in a huge pile of kale. Served with 1/2 a roasted acorn squash and a big green salad. YUM!

Today has been another "inhale everything in sight" day, courtesy of my a.m. swim. I was already hungry somewhere around 1800 yards and have been behind the curve all day.

4:30 apple with 1T almond butter
5:15 2800 meter swim
6:45 Gu Roctane
7:00 60 minute run
8:00 a banana & half a leftover roasted acorn squash while I waited for my oatmeal to cook.
8:30 1 cup of oatmeal with cinnamon
10:30 more acorn squash with 8 walnuts. 1% latte.
12:30 My usual green salad with a pile o' veggie toppings, 1/2 a small avocado, one small sweet potato
3:30 one cup greek yogurt
6:30 dinner tonight is tofu stir-fried with some of the bounty from today's CSA basket, plus a nice big green salad. I have a really awesome ginger-miso dressing recipe that I make all the time and will probably whip up a batch of that tonight for accompaniment.

I probably should have had eggs for breakfast instead of oatmeal, as I'm shy on protein today, but I'll survive. I haven't had oatmeal all week and was really wanting some!


Tomorrow I have a 3800meter swim on my training plan. Holy crap! I've *never* swum that far in one go. I'm thinking I need to have an actual breakfast beforehand or I'll never make it through. But sheesh, getting up early enough to do that (like 4am at the latest) is totally unattractive. Maybe just some toast instead, supplemented with a poolside Gu halfway through... hhhmmmmm...

4:45am A real breakfast! 1 cup of oatmeal plus a huge banana. Also finished off the bottom of a bag of Kashi Cinnamon Harvest Cereal. Jeff was having it for breakfast and I can't resist that stuff.
5:30am 3850 yard swim. This took me a looong time. Just over 1.5 hours. I'm never fast and I have a cold to boot. But, GOOD NEWS I did NOT get hungry during the swim, so having breakfast was the right choice!
7:45am 1% latte and a cup of Umpqua Oats Lei'd Back Oatmeal. So yummy. Oats with macadamia, cashew, coconut & papaya!
11:30am Green salad with 1/2 small avocado
1:00pm 1 cup of greek yogurt with 1/4 of a cantaloupe
6:00 Going to dinner tonight with 2 girlfriends to celebrate a birthday. Thai Food. Loooove Thai food. I'm thinking curry!

I fell asleep on our drive down the Cape, so I had coffee when we arrived. We took a 2 mile walk on the beach/road. Then I had a glass of wine with the B&B owners.
D: at one of my favorite restaurants: half a spinach salad, scallops over ramps, side of spaghetti squash and haricots, mushrooms, one piece of delicious bread and olive oil, more wine
Then we promptly drove to the Kream 'n Kone where they've been serving soft ice cream and dip since 1953

[spokewench]

Crankin, you always find the best restaurants. That dinner sounds absolutely wonderful!

S: strawberries and yogurt
L: last of the fruited wild rice salad with a roasted skinless chicken breast
S (pre-workout): 1/2 Cliff Builders Bar

60 minute group training class followed by 30 minute Bosu class - he kicked our behinds in this last session of the class. He fit all of the fitness challenges we've done in the last 10 weeks all in one workout...

Starving, ate the remainder of the Cliff builders bar as I ran a few errands on the way home.

Still starving, too much to really cook....so...
D: 1 slice Ezekiel bread toast, 1 roasted chicken breast with a bit of sheep's milk cheese (English), and a tomato/feta/olive oil sald.

Still a bit hungry but that is enough food this close to bed!

Snack at group meeting- crackers with several slices of cheese, 5 thin slices of melon & small squares of fresh pineapple, a grapefruit juice

Dinner- cornflakes with milk and dollop of yogurt & fresh strawberries, a cup of tea with milk

Not healthy, but work meeting meal meant that I shouldn't eat much for supper.

Did a minor work-commute bike ride because it was raining.

[Owlie]

Uh, so I've been living off coffee, beef jerky, Goldfish and cereal for the past few days.

I did actually have dinner tonight (brown rice, broccoli, spinach, turkey sausage mixed up in a bowl with a generous sprinkling of Parmesan), and have followed it up with a pineapple/strawberry/coconut milk smoothie
