What did you eat today?

[Owlie]

I've actually had real food (3 meals a day, even!) for the last two days. Being back on a schedule is sort of awesome. I've also been taking my bento box for lunch, because a) it fits in the communal fridge better than my other lunch box, and b) fewer individual things to wash. It's been fun trying to put together balanced lunches. (If they look pretty, it's a bonus!)

Yesterday:
B: bowl of cereal, coffee with half-and-half and sugar.
L: Leftover peanut sesame soba, leftover pulled pork (no sauce, well-drained), snow peas, some pickled bell pepper and daikon radish, fresh cucumber slices, raspberries, a banana
S: Tea with sugar and half-and-half
D: spaghetti with tomato sauce, salad, some leftover baked chicken

Today:
B: English muffin with peanut butter, coffee with half-and-half and sugar
L: Tabbouleh, 1 hard-boiled egg (I could have used two, actually, but it was perfectly cooked!), 3 mini bell peppers with hummus, a cucumber+tomato+sesame seed salad (with a little salt), a banana
S: Tea with half-and-half and sugar, buttered toast
D: Burrito with flank steak, rice, a sprinkling of cheese, and salsa.

Contemplating the last Dry Lavender soda in the fridge for "dessert." It's not chocolate, but I suppose it'll do.

Yesterday:

B: eggs scrambled with baby greens, slice pastured bacon, coffee with cream. My egg-free experiment didn't quite last 30 days!

Group workout (Summer challenge at my gym. Given my training schedule I don't know how many of THESE workouts I will make, kettlebell training has priority)

S: protein shake
L: roasted chicken and veggies
S: coffee + Paleo blueberry "muffin". I don't normally eat paleo baked goods (almond/coconut flour in place of wheat), but this was nice. Friends made them for me, and they will be good to make for office events :-)
D: ground beef cooked with chopped veggies over greens, 1/2 baked sweet potato. 3 small squares 85% dark chocolate for dessert

So I am waiting at the airport and I thought I'd report in. I did very well eating, with 2 exceptions which were not that bad!
My brother had only healthy stuff in his house. I took him and my son and DIL out for my brother's 50th birthday on Sunday, but I had 2 cheese enchiladas, and didn't eat too much of the other. I had a sushi lunch with my son, very rare, but yesterday I ate 4 chicken taquitos for lunch . They were small, but I did not need 4!
I walked a couple of miles every morning on some big hills.

So, I weighed myself this morning, and at 106.4, I am very happy.

Today:
B: eggs scrambled with greens, sweet potato hash, coffee with cream, bacon
Home kettlebell workout that featured all of the sports lifts and some cross training exercises in between
L: sardines over greens, fermented veggies. I find that I prefer actually cooking them in a great recipe I have, I just don't like them out of the can. I did, however, eat them.
S: café au lait, plain whole milk yogurt with some chopped cantaloupe
D: Roasted chicken, steamed green beans, roasted rutabaga (first time I've made this, roasted with spices it was pretty good)

[Crankin]

B: whole wheat bagel sandwich with one egg and cheddar. blueberries, coffee
I went on a 55.8 mile ride, that while flat, was hot. During the ride, I had 3 Shot Blocks and 1.5 Lara Bars, two bottles of Lemon Lime Skratch Lab, and water.
L:I brought an almond butter/banana sandwich on raisin spelt bread, but it was squished, wrapped up in foil in my jersey pocket, since I did not have my bike I could put the Trail Rider on. Mistake. I should have walked to get a sandwich in Portsmouth, as I could have easily done this. Not enough food.
Had some ice coffee on the way home
S: ate a small left over chicken thigh when I got home
D: scallops, red peppers, and chicken sausage, with Old Bay seasoning and quinoa. glass of red wine
