Today:

B: eggs with spinach and mushrooms, bacon, coffee

1 hour fun and challenging workout
S: banana muffin cup (very simple and yummy - just has banana, egg, almond butter and a bit of baking soda - mash together and microwave in a coffee cup for 2 minutes)

L: Ox Tail stew with roasted veggies, and roasted brussels sprouts on the side, 1 beer

D: ? Probably some left over Lemon-Artichoke chicken from last night and veggies or some chicken bone broth with chicken, bok choy and mushrooms.

This cooking stuff is becoming fun - and no problem staying under my calorie targets (sometimes too far under...)

Crankin - I bought ox tails from Whole Foods, but can also get them from my grass-fed farmer (though he is out of grass-fed for the year).

Yesterday:

B: eggs, sausage, roasted brussels sprouts
1 hour hard group training session (and I mean HARD)
S: 1/4 cup ox-tail stew
L: Last of the ox-tail stew with veggies
D: left-over lemon-artichoke roasted chicken, spinach salad with strawberries, celery and other veggies with extra virgin olive oil/balsamic dressing, roasted squash and a small amount of chopped frozen strawberries drizzled with coconut milk for dessert (amazing how this fills my ice cream cravings).

[spokewench]

B: 1/2 grapefruit, bowl of corn chex, 1% milk, coffee
Snack: handful of pretzels, 1 banana
L: 2 chicken tenders, french fries
D: 1 glass chardonnay, leftover chicken thigh with tomato sauce and a little pasta

[Crankin]

B: 2 eggs, scrambled with kale, corn tortilla, and low fat cheddar, an orange, 2 slices uncured bacon, coffee
L: tuna in oil on a bed of lettuce, grape tomatoes, fig balsamic vinegar, cup of roasted red pepper/tomato soup
S: nuts, chocolate, cranberries
D: we went out to celebrate my passing my boards, at the Colonial Inn. It was dead, since it was snowing and windy .
I tried to be moderate... I had a glass of Prosecco, shared an arugula and fresh ricotta salad with DH, and had salmon on a bed of braised brussel sprouts/almonds, with fingerling potatoes. I ate half a slice of cornbread, couldn't resist, it's their specialty, since like, 1776.

[spokewench]

1 bowl of shredded wheat, 1 banana, 1 pear
L: cottage cheese, piece of WG toast with butter
D: beef stew with potatoes, onions, mushrooms and butternut squash, 1 glass red wine

[Crankin]

B: egg white scramble with kale and yellow pepper, strawberries and blueberries, coffee
S: nuts and cranberries
L: home made chicken salad, an apple
S: raisin Ezekial bread/soy nut butter, a couple of ww pita rounds
D: 3 small baked chicken thighs, brussel sprouts, glass of red wine, 2 squares dark chocolate

[Catrin]

Yesterday:

B: squash "crustless quiche" with bacon. Coffee with cream
Personal training session
L: mustard glazed roasted chicken thighs, candied carrots with dates (yummy!)
D: remainder of the "crustless quiche", bone broth with veggies

The "crustless quiche" didn't turn out so well, apparently I prefer frittatas with meat rather than just zucchini and yellow squash. I had to try the recipe once, that was enough.

Today:

B: Last of the mustard glazed roasted chicken thighs, candied carrots with dates, 1 slice bacon
L: will be mustard glazed roasted chicken leg, spinach salad
D: Who knows yet? Grocery shopping planned unless my bike gets too enticing

The mustard glaze method works quite nicely, especially for skinless/boneless chicken which is bland anyway. Also works well for skin on/bone in.
