What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

Like Crankin, I generally post right after dinner. Outside of the weekends my diet doesn't vary all that much so it is pretty easy to remember, I also track it in Lose It to keep track of my numbers. Posting it here keeps me honest.

Today:

B: steel cut oats with blueberries, whole egg + egg white, skim milk, coffee
S: banana
L: Remainder of the spinach/feta pasta salad and added some sweet basil turkey chicken sausage. Blueberries + 0 fat Fage Greek yogurt for dessert.
S: Power bar

1 hour group training class
30 minute Bosu class

D: Skim milk, 4 oz roasted skinless chicken salad with the last of the amaranth leaves, mushrooms, sweet peppers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, homemade vinaigrette and a bit of grated sharp cheddar. Dessert was a few strawberries with 2 tablespoons Blue Bunny mint chocolate chip ice cream At this rate the 1/2 gallon is going to last until September

Crankin, it is interesting reading your breakfast choices, I need to start mixing things up a bit before I get tired of my steel cut oats.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. About 9 years ago I bought a low glycemic type eating plan/cookbook, which had a 3 phase eating plan to help lose weight and keep it off. I did lose 5 lbs., and also found lots of good different things to eat for breakfast. Some of the recipes are a little out of date now, like with artificial sweeteners, but I like the combinations of foods in there.
I've always eaten "real" food for breakfast. Except now, it's not left over pizza or Chinese food, cold, right out of the fridge.

I think I just heard you all the way in central Indiana - weeeeeee Looking forward to hearing/reading about it. I note a lack of ice cream from your daily fuel yesterday, I think it would be a fine way to mark the milestone of heading over the Great Divide
