What did you eat today?

[Crankin]

spin class, ate a few almonds before
B: 2 fried eggs, 2 slices uncured bacon, blueberries and strawberries
L: small sandwich on whole wheat with hummus, red pepper, carrots, slice of cheese, an apple
S: nuts and cranberries
D: went out... 2 glasses of wine, half a salad with goat cheese and cranberries, salmon with brown rice, and asparagus wrapped in proscuitto. Too bad the salmon was in a delicious soy based marinade. It was too much salt for me.

S: too many samples of the 88% dark chocolate almond/macadamia/sea salt nut bark I made for the office pitch-in today! It is far from sweet - but is like crack - YUMMMM!

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I'm on clear liquids through tomorrow in prep for a routine colonoscopy screening so oh joy and fun, the prep! Clear juices, what fun. I'm staying off this thread.

My eating marathon is mostly over. Back to normal for a few days, until New Year's

I did all of the cooking at home, so in the end I didn't really cheat. Too much cornish hen however

Today - snowed in
B: scrambled eggs with veggies, bacon, coffee with cream
L: beef shank and kale
D: balsamic braised short ribs and sweet potato - coffee with dark unsweetened cocoa and cream for dessert.

Trek420, hope all goes well!

It is sad to lose two special women in a week's time. Both are in my church, and indeed I was present when they were formally brought into the Orthodox Church, both were over 70 at the time. These ladies were like my surrogate mom and aunt, and one of them just remarried less than a year ago! One was buried last Friday, the other died that same day and her funeral is tomorrow. They will be sorely missed, two classy ladies with a kind word and generous heart for everyone they met and were more alive and vibrant than many half their age. I aspire to be like them should I live so long!

[Crankin]

Sorry for your losses, Catrin. They sound like good role models!
B: egg whites, kale, sprinkle of low fat cheddar, an orange, coffee
S: cup of tea (I've been feeling like I have kind of a low level viral thing)
L: 2 veggie burger patties, cole slaw, an apple
S: slice of Ezekial raisin bread and 1 tsp. soy nut butter
D: boneless chicken breast sautéed in coconut oil, with fig vinegar and pine nuts, roasted broccoli/olive oil, and whole wheat quinoa, 2 squares dark chocolate
