I've seen the scale creep up a couple of pounds, it seems to really help posting here so time to get back to it. Interesting that the gain happened when I started allowing dairy back into my diet - I think it is likely to be causing some bloating so back to only having dairy on very special occasions after today.

Today (rest day):
B: eggs scrambled with baby greens, 1 slice fresh side, fermented veggies, coffee
L: 4 Bora Bora Fireballs, more greens, followed with 1 small scoop of decadent chocolate/bacon gelato!
D: Planning on roasted chicken, cumin-roasted carrots, and a salad with whatever veggies are in the fridge.

Crankin, you SHOULD have been hungry after that ride I might consider a bike ride tonight, but considering I've worked out the last 4 days in a row at one thing or another, and I've plans for the next three days...I need a rest day. Perhaps a gentle stroll after dinner.

yesterday:
B: small bowl of plain Greek non fat yogurt, blueberries, strawberries, walnuts, left over veggie/black bean burger, coffee
L: huge veggie salad with roasted chicken and chick peas, fig vinegar, an orange
S: slice of spelt bread with light cream cheese
D: grilled salmon, broccoli, sweet potato wedges, glass of white wine

The cumin-roasted carrots I had with dinner were incredible! I then charted my food for the last few days and figured out why I put on a couple of pounds in a few days (outside of the dairy-bloating), I've not been getting enough calories... I KNOW better than to not chart my food, for my calorie intake always drops when I do that and I am far too active for 1,200 calories!!! My coach has been known to slap me on the wrists for this, and he is right.

HERE is the cumin-roasted carrots recipe. I was starving and ate the entire thing...though it wasn't a full pound of carrots This is my favorite way to cook carrots. I diced them into half-inch coins rather than slicing them like fries. Also added 2 Bora Bora Fireballs when I saw my total intake for the day, even WITH the gelato - which was only 100 calories.

Crankin - I am curious about the fig vinegar...

I am obsessed with gourmet vinegars to be used as salad dressing. They taste so good, I only add olive oil for more special dinners. You can get them at various places like farm markets, cheese shops, TJs, etc. We have an olive oil and vinegar store in town where you can do tastings and that's where I get mine. I used to order on line until the store opened, though.
