What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

Crankin - hope you feel better soon!

Yesterday was a true rest day - as tempting as it was to play with my KB herd at home. That is THE (only) disadvantage of having my own kettlebell herd! Thankfully they are far less expensive than bikes

Yesterday:

B: roasted chicken thigh, 1 slice nitrate-free bacon, spinach sauteed with pine nuts in coconut oil, coffee with cream
L: more chicken in a large spinach/butter lettuce salad with more veggies, pecans and raisins. A drizzle of EVOO for dressing. Fresh strawberries for dessert
S: Coffee and a Quest bar
D: Trader Joe's jalapeno chicken sausage, more sauteed greens, 1/2 avocado, the last slice of bacon), baked butternut squash

Got closer to my calorie targets for the day, close enough for me.

I went to bed at 7:30 last night, fell asleep at around 8:30, got up at 4:30. The sinus part has calmed down, but still feel all the other achy stuff. I went to work this morning, and now I am ready to lie on the couch and read! Probably good it's pouring out. I haven't ridden since Sunday. Did boot camp Monday, walked on Wednesday. I'd better be OK tomorrow! Planning a metric for Sunday, and now my body and the weather need to cooperate.

Rooting for you Crankin, hope you can your body and weather to cooperate!

woke up this morning, with a weight of 105.2. Lowest in 2 years. Not sure what is going on. Happy, but I worry when I lose weight with little exercise. But, I know better than to eat a lot to make up for it.
yesterday:
B: 2 eggs, lox, spinach. blueberries, coffee
L: chicken salad with yogurt/mayo combo, dried cranberries, almonds
S: 2 slices Machengo, glass of red wine
D: one pork chop, with a crust of parmesan and Panko, roasted broccolini, 2 squares of dark chocolate

Going to skip the weekend reporting...
Moday:
Went to boot camp, had half a banana before, then I rode to work
B: tuna in olive oil over sliced tomato, melted cheddar, blueberries
L: sautéed tofu and veggies over a small amount of brown rice, 1/2 banana
S: spelt raisin bread and cashew butter at 4, about 1/2 a Lara Bar before I rode home at 7:20 PM
D: since it was 7:40 when I got home, I looked in the fridge and could think about nothing but the left over lox and chive cream cheese, so I had that on a whole wheat bagel. A lot of carbs today, but I am still recovering from being sick, and I feel like I need them.

went on a fast 37.8 mile ride. It was hot, about 85 during the ride. I ate 4 Shot Blocks, one Lara Bar, drank 2 bottles of Skratch lemon-lime. I've never eaten so many Shot Blocks and my weight will show it tomorrow, but it's what keeps me feeling good on these kinds of rides.
L: I didn't go to the group lunch. Came home and ate a whole wheat tortilla cheese crisp with chicken, pineapple chunks, 2 squares dark chocolate
D: had a chicken breast sautéed with cumin, tomato-green chili sauce and black beans, a salad. The I had to go out to the drugstore and we stopped for ice cream. Ate 4 oz. of dulce de leche.
