What did you eat today?

[Owlie]

Applegate Organic Hot Dogs - here is a link. They are good and satisfy that occasional craving I get for more processed food - though I won't give into it if I didn't have access to something like this. They aren't cheap - $5 at Trader Joe's, unsure how easy they are to find at other stores.

I know the local Fry's carries the bacon (which is also pretty good). I've never seen the hot dogs, but I haven't looked. I'll check TJ's next time I'm there, and the Whole Foods should be opening up again fairly soon. If not, there's one over by Performance and I have to go over there anyway.

B: Smoothie (yogurt, peanut butter, banana, coffee, cocoa)
L: Stir fry (Chicken, onion, carrot, broccoli, bamboo shoots, baby corn, water chestnuts, red and yellow bell pepper and snow peas) over brown rice, with generous soy sauce and sesame oil, because dry rice is gross.
S: Tea with sugar and half-and-half, 3 gingersnaps, a small handful of cinnamon-sugar almonds
S2: Parsley and fennel fronds while preparing dinner.
D: Salad (spring mix, baby arugula, parsley, fennel (fronds and 1/4 bulb, yellow bell pepper) with canned tuna (packed in olive oil), walnuts and Parmesan; olive oil and lemon juice dressing (with pepper and garlic, of course).
Something for dessert and to go with my studying...I have pumpkin ice cream. Or peanut butter cup ice cream. Hm.

Ate half a Lara Bar before spin class (first of the year). Finished it on the 4 mile drive home
B:egg whites, salmon, goat cheese scramble, an orange with blueberries
then I went on a 3.3 mile hike with a friend. Went to a new trail, which was quite technical and good climbs (it's on the side of a chasm), but my friend is really slow. That's why I went to spin earlier. Unfortunately, I dressed for my speed hiking, not hers, and I still feel chilled, 9 hours later.
S: I ate some walnuts and dried apricots before and after the hike
L: cup of tomato soup, salad with tuna in oil, avocado, lettuce, fig vinegar
D: glass of red wine, sauteed veal, cooked in crushed tomatoes, broccolini, onions, garlic, over whole wheat cous cous, 2 squares dark chocolate

B: eggs scrambled with multiple veggies and a bit of ground pork, coffee
1 mile run + 2,700 meters rowing - this felt much better than I expected! Followed with protein shake
L: pulled roast pork, winter squash
S: small banana
D: bone broth with a small sweet potato, veggies, protein, a beaten egg, water and then a hot mint tea. There is something very satisfying about this "soup", it is very much a spur of the moment dish made with lovely mineral/gelatin rich fresh bone broth and whatever veggies and protein I've in the fridge.

handful of walnuts and dried apricots before boot camp
B: 2 eggs, half a red pepper, half a cup of black beans, an orange, coffee
I went to pT, where I did more stuff that made me tired
L: shredded chicken, melted light cheddar, green chili salsa, an apple
S: slice of Machengo, 2 ww pita rounds
DL one turkey burger patty, whipped butternut squash, salad, glass of red wine
I am definitely fighting a cold, despite the getting chilled thing is an old wive's tale. I couldn't get warm after my hike yesterday, sneezed a little in the PM, so I started using the saline rinse. Today I did more, took a Claritin, used some zinc all day, upped my vitamin C. No sneezing, no chills, but I feel off. Achy. Probably shouldn't have gone to boot camp, but no work tomorrow, and nothing more strenuous than gentle yoga and stretching.
