What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

Yowza, Catrin. That's a lot in one day for somebody who is recovering from a couple of injuries and has had some muscles prone to overuse issues.

ETA: I know you love to push yourself and that's great. Just be careful!

I didn't INTEND to do all of that, but it was fun. It was also using different muscles and I would have stopped at the first suggestion of pain. There wasn't any These workouts are very different from anything I've done before - though I won't be mixing those two classes in the future.

Thankfully my new group trainer forces the issue and makes certain we get enough rest during the workout. He pushes really hard, but he also keeps an eye out for proper form and needed modifications.

39 mile ride. I ate a Luna Bar throughout the ride and had one Shot Block and one and half bottles of Nuun, with additional water. It was hot and humid.
S: ate some whole wheat pita rounds and hummus when I got back.
L: salad with left over chicken, avocado, black bean filling from burritos the other night, an orange, coffee
S: had a guest from Germany over... ate some cheese and crackers and a glass of wine (business associate of DH).
D: We took above guest to some historical sights in town and then to dinner. I ate 1.5 tiny meatball appetizers, and an entree of 4 scallops with beets and grapefruit, a beer.
I am stuffed, but the heat took it all out of me today on my ride.

I remember corn dogs, I always loved the taste but my body doesn't like them Kind of like popcorn, my taste-buds and body have different reactions to them, sadly.

I have the same reaction (to both corn dogs and popcorn) so eating those would not be 'living' in my world!

Crankin - your egg white omelet with pesto sounds very attractive...if I ever have the chance to go grocery shopping!

bottled pesto.
Although I have made home made, I don't like cleaning the blades of the food processor for that small amount.
