[Catrin]

Yesterday (rest day)

D: West African Chicken stew (used home-made almond butter rather than sunbutter), 1/2 sweet potato

[Crankin]

B: egg whites, kale, lox, slice of spelt bread with almond butter, an orange, coffee
I went on a very hilly 31 mile ride. Did some experimenting with nutrition; had a 20 oz. bottle of Skratch Lab exercise hydration (lemon-lime) and about 6 oz water, one Lara Bar and 2 Shot Blocks. It really helped.
L: this was part of the ride, a catered lunch to raise funds for the PMC (for the leader today). There were a variety of small sandwiches. I took 2, scraped the chicken salad out of one and didn't eat the roll, I ate the other, which was turkey and cheese. Half an orange.
S: had coffee when I got home and a handful of pecans and dried apricots
D: chicken posole soup, 2 squares dark chocolate

[Crankin]

half a banana before boot camp
B: hard boiled egg, slice of spelt raisin bread and almond butter, coffee (all in the car)
L: 4 oz gazpacho, green lentil, zucchini, feta salad
D: we went out and I made the mistake of getting some spicy tomato soup at the gastropub. It was awesome, but I was not feeling too well this morning, still lingering now. Also had a beer and 3 lamb meatballs.

B: tuna on sliced tomato, an orange and strawberries, tea, coffee
L: roasted beet salad with 4 oz grilled salmon
S: piece of matzah and butter. This is comfort food for me, and I felt crappy
D: 2 baked chicken thighs with olive oil, mashed parsnips, salad. 2 squares dark chocolate

[Crankin]

Sort of skipped the weekend.
B: endive stuffed with cream cheese and lox, sliced mango, coffee. Ate a couple of dried apricots before I rode to work, 5 miles
S:half a banana
L: chicken salad with cranberries and walnuts, an apple, the other half of the banana
S: a Lara Bar at 3 and a slice of spelt bread and walnut butter at 6, before I rode home
D: I went to a committee meeting of my bike club, and had half a turkey sandwich, broccoli salad, and regular salad, one beer

Yesterday (rest day, sort of):

B: Usual egg/veggie/ground meat casserole, coffee
L: Romanian meatballs, steamed veggies
S: small apple
D: Smoked salmon/lettuce wraps, roasted kale
Very light kettlebell technique practice after my usual evening joint mobility work
S: guilty pleasure of a bit of hot whole grass-fed milk with a bit of 100% cacoa powder mixed in - fabulous! I am trying to really cut back on sugar, I've let that get a bit out of control recently.

[Crankin]

B: egg whites, low fat cheddar, green chili salsa, slice of spelt toast, blueberries. coffee
5 mile ride to work
more coffee
L: veggie salad with chick peas and some hard boiled egg crumbles. I got the salad bar from the hospital cafeteria and they just don't have enough protein choices. 4 oz serving of Italian bean soup, an apple
S: banana
ride home, 5.5 miles (alternative route to avoide traffic)
D: white bean/sweet potato/kale/chicken sausage soup, 2 squares dark chocolate
