Various and assorted moving activities as I prepare for THE move this weekend (pre-moving small items, errands)
L: I was starving so I did something I rarely do and hit a local restaurant for a huge salad that featured lots of chicken along with blue cheese, candied pecans, assorted greens
S: 2 dried figs

SO READY for life to get back to what passes as normal and I've my kitchen back!

I wish I could eat as healthy as you do!

I just saw this - for me the problem isn't what I eat but how much...I've problems with not eating enough. THIS week I've lost 4 pounds and I know that is why. Normally when I don't eat enough I actually gain a bit, so to lose that much in a week tells me my calorie intake is WAY low. Things are just so unsettled with my move and I refuse to buy much in the way of groceries until the move is complete. I am not complaining about the 4 pounds itself, but am a little concerned it might be muscle. I am VERY active...

Today I hope to do better, and will supplement with my protein shake if I need to do so. It doesn't have many calories or carbs, but it will give my body some protein to work with.

Breakfast this morning was my usual eggs scrambled with spinach and coffee but am out of my fresh side or other protein sources. This is the easy meal to manage. I might break down and have an ice cream break today between moving activities Beer sounds better, but I refuse to drink when I am under this level of stress - between the loss of my mom and the move my stress level is...high. I love the new apartment though

GLC - congratulations!

Catrin - if you are still lifting and eating enough protein, even really low calories for awhile won't hurt your muscle much. Your general diet is such that you are already likely a 'fat burner'...so you are probably OK. I'm currently eating low calories, lifting and I haven't lost any muscle in the past month. Since your diet is so similar to mine, my guess is that you should be fine.

Friday
B: smoothie - blueberries, 1/2 banana, 1/2 peach, egg white powder, coconut milk, kale
S: black coffee (not really a 'snack' but I usually have it between breakfast and lunch)
L: chicken tortilla-less soup with avocado, 1/2 peach
D: pork carnitas over fresh spinach, red pepper, green pepper, arugula, cilantro and avocado

B: egg whites with red pepper, kale, and 2 turkey breakfast sausages, strawberries, coffee
L: salad with dark chicken meat, green beans, chick peas, fig vinegar, cup of butternut squash soup
S: slice of some new cheese DH bought; it's from Spain, not Machengo
D: roasted chicken; I had a breast and a bit of another piece, roasted Brussel sprouts, salad with goat cheese, dried cranberries, olive oil, basalmic vinegar, glass of red wine

B: 2 scrambled eggs, 2 slices bacon, one slice spelt toast, blueberries, coffee
We went to do a 40 mile on the south coast of MA/RI. Last year we helped lead it, but this year we were supposed to be participants only. Didn't end up that way when our friend who was leading realized he had 30 riders of greatly varying abilities, so we volunteered to lead the "fast" group. DH went a little nuts in his interpretation of fast, but after 16 miles, I reeled him in.
L: had a cranberry-walnut chicken salad wrap, with a small bag of baked potato chips. I only eat chips on longer rides. Had some fruity health type drink with no sugar, that I put in my bottle after lunch.
S: after the ride, we drove to the Sakonnet Vinyards, where we had wine and DH and I shared a cheese/cracker/walnuts and fruit plate. Perfect to hold us over for the 60 mile drive home.
D: I made Shushuska, which is basically an Israeli version of huevos rancheros. Very good.
I had eggs for 2 meals today!
