What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

LOL Crankin at the Danger Zone reference I weighed myself yesterday and was back to what I was before the holiday. My coach and training partner are both chastising me for not eating enough again...I need to add more starchy carbs back into my diet so have been working on that. 1,400-1,500 calories for my current activity level is NOT enough. I KNOW that, and I also know that I gain body fat when my calories drop that low...it is a challenge. I know that, and understand why it is that way, but I do forget.

Today (rest day)
B: frittata, 1 slice bacon, coffee
S: kefir with a small amount of protein powder mixed in
L: roasted chicken, kale chips
S: small apple
D: sweet potato bacon chocolate chili - as soon as it is done! I will have it over baby spinach - this is a fantastic recipe with a great mix of spices. I have a LOT more spices in my cabinet than I once did...

half a Lara Bar before before spin class
B:egg whites, grated cheddar, 1/4 avocado, 2 slices uncured bacon, an orange, coffee
L: can of tuna in oil, 1/4 avocado, red pepper, cup of roasted corn soup (low sodium)
S: small mocha latte, skim milk. Haven't had one in months and I know why. My stomach is weird now.
D: I made a quinoa/sweet potato burger recipe. It was a pain in the azz, but they were great. I ate one patty, with a salad, and a glass of red wine and I had a lot to freeze

3 mile run
S:had a handful of nuts and cranberries when I got back from the run. We were going out to celerbrate our anniversary, which is today, but not until 8:30. We ended up having a beer and cheese/hummus/crackers ata round 5:00. Probably too much.
D: we split an appetizer of salmon carpaccio (mmmm) and I had a shank of wild boar on a bed of white beans and greens, glass of red wine. The restaurant was an awesome farm to table place, that I realized is in the same spot as the pizza place I hung out in, back in my wild youth. That was sobering.
