Tonight I went for a post-ride burger to a place called brb - Be Right Burger. It was my second time there. The first time, I had a beef burger with pickles and tomatoes. The pickles were good. The burger was pretty tasteless. Tonight I had a turkey burger that was supposed to be topped with provolone, avocado and "chipotle mayo." It was greasy, with lots of cheese, very little avocado and either they forgot the chipotle mayo or it was completely flavorless. I won't be going back there anymore.

And now I'm going to have some black cherry flavored Greek yogurt, which is very tasty. And it's the store brand, so not expensive.

This past week has been filled with eating stuff with family members and friends --have been visiting in another province. Have tried to fit in cycling -- only 2 missed days out of 9 days during this trip.

Near the end of this time, there was a lovely wedding. But I couldn't finish 2 pieces of meat as my entrée on the plate --steak and chicken breast. Am rather surprised that 2 types of meat were served on 1 entrée plate.

one hour yoga class
L: OK, I went to the natural foods store and bought what I thought was soup (in the prepared foods/takeout section). Kale, other veggies. Turned out to be basmati rice with veggies, and the dish had some name in another language. I should have asked. But, I ate half and it was delicious, along with 3 slices of chicken breast and tomatoes, with some blueberrioes
D: scallops sauteed with lots of spicy stuff, put in a salad with quinoa, avocado, grape tomatoes, and a lime/olive oil dressing, glass of red wine, 2 squares dark chocolate

Yesterday was Warrior Cardio day

B: frittata, fresh side, coffee
1 hour group training followed by protein shake + small banana
L: Roasted chicken & small roasted sweet potato
s: a few nuts & raisins
D: Czech meatballs & veggies

[spokewench]

I don't think I ate much less than you did yesterday. Less for breakfast maybe; but the tostada was big (turkey burger, pinto beans, rice, lettuce, salsa, little cheese, lots of lettuce) and I ate a half baked potato (BIG ONE) with sour cream! So, some days are small portions some are big - just depends on how much exercise I have!

TODAY:
1 piece wg bread, coffee
1 banana
leftover tostada
few pretzels
Not sure, maybe a big mexican meal??

[Crankin]

Catrin, I also eat a lot more than some...
Boot camp, exhausting, and all I ate before were 5 walnuts
B: egg whites, kale, salsa, an orange coffee
something upset my stomach from last night. I spent all morning getting over it.
L: salad with chicken, chick peas, lettuce, grape tomatoes, fig vinegar, an apple, handful of nuts, cranberries, chocolate
S: I went home in between clients and ate a small piece of boneless chicken thigh that broke off in the left overs and a handful of pumpkin seeds
D: fresh grilled tuna, sweet potato, salad with avocado and goat cheese

[Catrin]

It just sounded small when I read it Spokewrench, though of course it is about the portions we need to fuel our activity level. We can't see portions when we read what other posters have entered

Today:

B: last of the current frittata, fresh side, coffee. (this probably sounds repetitive, but it works for me)
S: small banana
L: roast chicken salad with home-made hazelnut oil mayo on romaine lettuce wraps...I needed more veggies/food to go with this
S: strawberries/pineapple/raisin "salad"

kick-butt solo kettlebell workout (the "warrior weekly challenge"), followed by protein shake.

D: Czech meatballs and sauteed spinach - once again - more food was needed....have to get to the store! 2 small squares dark chocolate

Crankin - there is no way I could do that kind of workout with just 5 walnuts, I just can't do intense exercise in a fasted state. Of course, exercise fasting is better than NO exercise!
