I am struggling with keeping my weight where I want it. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. I am trying to get more sleep, avoid too many carbs, etc. Eating lots of meatless meals, but still getting a lot of protein, mostly fish and chicken. Usually this happens in the winter. By all accounts, I should be fine with my eating. It seems like after a while, my body gets used to just about any type of food I eat. When I weighed 103, I was having my glass of red wine and a piece of dark chocolate daily. I've cut back on the wine, but it hasn't seemed to help. I don't eat a lot of sugar or crave it to begin with.
I guess it's just carry on.

B: chicken thigh, 1/4 avocado, 1/4 sweet potato, coffee
handful of walnuts before an 11 mile hilly ride
L: green salad with sliced chicken breast, cup of roasted veggie soup
D: dinner out before theatre. We went to a Mediterranean restaurant that has been in Boston for 60+ years. My parents used to go there! Shared a bunch of small appetizers (hummus, kibbeh) and had an eggplant, chick peas, tomato dish. It was good, but I should have only eaten half. Shared a small chocolate cake slice with DH, Turkish coffee

No other social plans this weekend, so less temptation

Yesterday:

B. Frittata, coffee
S: triple mocha brevet with 1/2 of a grain-free strawberry/zucchini muffin
L: salad with roast chicken, veggies, drizzle of avocado oil for dressing
spent some time at the gym working on kettlebell technique, also did some deadlifting before heading to the trails for a 30 minute trail run
S: Quest protein bar (grain/soy free)
D: sausage/kale soup with more roast chicken - VERY tasty on a cool fall evening!

In the end I don't think I ate enough - I think most of my calories was from the mocha For some reason I am being really tempted by mocha and pumpkin lattes right now. I KNOW what is in them, there are only 2 independent coffee houses from which I will get them but still...I also note that I am starting to crave sugar again and I don't think that a coincidence. Time to shut down the sugar train!

Oh great. Now I want a pumpkin spice latte. It's too hot, but I still want one.

B: Tea with milk and sugar. I realized I am pretty much out of everything, so I went grocery shopping...at Trader Joe's. Oops.
L: Sesame beef, brown rice with a generous sprinkling of this stuff, cooked peppers, and cubed daikon radish with a bit of soy sauce.
D: Probably leftover pork that DBF's parents sent me home with, mashed sweet potatoes and salad (if it's not too funky). If it is, broccoli or kale.

Edit: Broccoli. The salad had somehow gotten shoved to the back of the fridge and then frozen. And there will be birthday cake and a glass of chocolate milk with Kahlua in it.
