What did you eat today?

[Owlie]

D: warm steak salad with red skinned new potato and crumbled bacon, with a dressing made with the bacon drippings , 2 squares dark chocolate

That sounds amazing. Do you have a recipe for the dressing?

Yesterday:
B: Tea with half-and-half and sugar
L: Salmon on a bed of baby spinach (with a little olive oil, lemon juice and garlic), pita chips, strawberries
28-mile ride on the CX bike. A Clif bar
S: Butterfinger Blizzard. What?
D: Slice of rosemary-olive oil toast with butter, two slices of bacon, an apple, glass of protein drink mixed with 1% milk.

Today:

B: ground beef/veggie frittata, black coffee with a bit of 100% cacoa (no sugar)
1 hour group training session, followed by a protein shake
L: roast chicken, salad

I went out for fresh air after lunch and wound up getting 1 small scoop of coconut almond fudge ice cream. My first real cheat in months and I enjoyed it! The interesting part was getting the woman at the store to actually give me ONE scoop, and a small one at that. She seemed to have a problem selling a "child's portion" to an adult, and then she complained about having to charge me less. Very odd - but the ice cream was VERY good.

D: more roast chicken, cabbage/parsley/raisin salad (sounds odd but it was good). I need to go shopping...

[Crankin]

B:2 scrambled eggs with kale, 2 slices Ezekial raisin toast, strawberries and orange slices, coffee
35.6 mile hilly and fast ride. I drank 1.5 bottles of water and ate a Luna Bar
L: 3 left over turkey meatballs and spicy tomato sauce, mashed cauliflower, an apple
D: home made butternut squash soup, salad with avocado, tomatoes, green onion, vinaigrette, small slice of sourdough bread, 2 squares dark chocolate
This is the most carbs I've had in about 2 months. I really felt like i needed it.

[spokewench]

B: 1 waffle with strawberries and syrup, coffee

handful of cheezits
D: 1 piece meatloaf, roasted potatoes, zucchini, 2 glasses chardonnay

[Crankin]

B: egg whites, corn tortilla, 2 slices chicken breast, salsa scrambled with avocado, an orange, coffee
L: 6 oz. tuna in oil with red pepper slices and goat cheese, an apple, nuts and cranberries
S: Luna Bar
D: one slice left over turkey-veggie meatloaf, which did not freeze/defrost too well. 1/4 of a huge sweet potato, blueberries, 2 squares dark chocolate

[Crankin]

B: 2 scrambled eggs, cheddar sprinkles, 2 slices uncured bacon, blueberries, coffee
L: went out with DH, had a cup of chicken veggie soup and a Mediterranean wrap on whole wheat

[Catrin]

Today:

B: scrambled eggs with veggies, last small sweet potato "muffin", black coffee
L: chicken feta sausage with a salad of mixed greens, egg, cucumber, brocolli, etc, a bit of dressing made from home-made mayo
S: protein shake (basically taking the opportunity to try out a new sample)
D: Got brave and made a large lox/avocado/jicama nori roll - I've never done this before so it was interesting. I don't have a sushi-roll-thingie, but I did manage to roll it together. Wasn't brave enough to cut it though, so I just treated it like a large round sandwich - basically. I tried out some wasabi powder and added some coconut aminos once I had made a nice paste out of it. Interesting experiment that tasted pretty good! I am sure a purest would have shuddered A couple squares of 88% dark chocolate for dessert.

At some point tomorrow I am going to cook this: using a pork loin end roast.
