What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

Today (rest day)

B: small slice of frittata, coffee
S: banana
L: chicken lettuce wrap at PF Changs
S: 2 squares dark chocolate, some yogurt
D: Asparagus/mushroom/onion saute with some roast pork

Part of me wants to cut back on food for rest days, but my coach slaps my hands when I do that. I can certainly tell the difference in my performance the next day when I DO cut back on calories on rest days (and not in a good way).

B: egg whites, corn tortilla, spinach, 3 turkey breakfast sausages, strawberries, coffee
I started feeling really sick while I was eating. I've been sort of off all week, but this was bad. Then I went to the dentist and found out I need a graft procedure, probably as a result of the Invisalign braces I had. By this time, I had to go see a client at a school. No exercise for me today.
L: tuna in oil on a 6 inch whole wheat pita, an orange
S: piece of spelt bread with hummus, lots of water
D: scallops seared in olive oil and a little butter on a bed of green beans marinated in oil and white vinegar, whole wheat cous cous
I have to lead a ride tomorrow and still feeling bad, though not like this morning. Not looking forward to a 1.5 hour drive, riding in the heat, and hanging out for dinner. Hope some sleep will help.

Chorizo, parsley and broccoli? That does sound weird! I'm making a frittata tonight so maybe I'll try it. ;-)

I'm joining in again. We are back from Hawaii and I've got some serious weight to lose before the long bike rides we've got planned at the end of the summer!

B: chicken apple sausage sauteed with TJ's healthy 8, topped with avocado. black coffee
L: sausage and cabbage 'noodle' stir-fry
S: banana
D: sauteed Chinese broccoli, grilled salmon and roasted cauliflower

No exercise today. I had my clothes out to ride at 5:15 AM. I still feel sick, so no go.
B: corn tortilla, 3 slices chicken, refried beans, cheddar tortilla, 1/4 avocado, an orange, coffee
L: salad with fresh romaine from the neighbor's garden, chicken, chick peas, green beans, grape tomatoes, whole wheat cous cous, vinegar, a few blueberries
S: 6 inch whole wheat pita and pumpkin seed spread
D: home made guacamole, with a burrito on a whole wheat tortilla, black/kidney beans, chili powder, green onion, tomatoes, salsa, half a mango. 2 squares dark chocolate
I'd better feel better tomorrow. Have a trip to the Berkshires on Friday-Sunday, supposed to do a 40 mile ride with a 7 mile climb . Of course, it's probably going to rain, so it's a moot point. But, I feel suspiciously like I did in February, when I had bronchitis. Going to bed now!

It was broccoli "slaw" from Trader Joes. The chorizo was ground and from a local farmer - made from pastured pork. Quite spicy and yummy! I needed to mix it up and it worked pretty well.

Dinner tonight was brisket sauteed with cabbage, onion and little slices of apple. Strawberries and a couple squares of dark chocolate for dessert.
