What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

Saturday

Kettlebell Pentathlon Day!
Dratted fireworks kept me up far too late Friday night, but what are you going to do?

B: eggs scrambled with greens, steamed rutabaga and carrots, coffee with cream
1 hour "competition" - though not really, it is complicated
I did better than I had hoped, and I FINISHED the event and that is what matters, even if the last minute was UGLY - but I finished!
Followed with protein shake

L: Big salad with Moroccan meatballs, banana
D: Grass-fed burger (lettuce wrap), with tomato and fermented pickles, 1 glass red wine, 2 squares dark chocolate for dessert

Sunday

I had planned on going for a nice long brisk walk today, but my LEGS are tired after yesterday's efforts - far more than my arms :-) Rest day today, planning on some mobility and joint work tonight, along with some core/glute activation work I do every day. Considering the size of the pastured pork shoulder picnic roast I scored for a very reasonable price, it braised in the oven overnight.

B: eggs/greens scramble, fermented veggies, coffee with cream
L: kind of a mix at church coffee hour - cheese, strawberries, carrots, Paleo blueberry muffin (I brought, made with coconut & almond 'flour'), coffee
S: banana with some home-made almond butter
D: Planning on some lettuce-boat pulled pork and sauteed veggies, and will use some home-made Walnut/garlic mayo for the dressing that I still have to make. Perhaps a glass of wine, we will see how late it is.

Fireworks are STILL going off, hopefully they have to go to work early tomorrow morning and will have it out of their system by bedtime.

Yeah, we had about 1 hour of fireworks on Saturday night, from the next town. The celebration was postponed because of the hurricane. Usually, we watch from our deck, but I was snug in my bed!
B: whole wheat bagel, light veggie cream cheese, lox, tomato, bowl of blueberries, strawberries, orange slices
L: salad with romaine, left over veggie sandwich filling (ground hazelnuts, artichoke hearts), avocado, chicken, grape tomatoes, quinoa. an orange
3 mile walk
S: a little bit of some artisinal cheese I bought at the natural foods store, whole wheat pita rounds, glass of rosé
D: chicken thighs with a sauce made of cherry juice, sake, raisins. whole wheat orzo, roasted broccoli. 2 squares dark chocolate
Went a little heavy on the carbs this weekend, but I felt like I needed it. I was wiped out by my ride on Saturday.

banana before boot camp
B: 5 small slices of lox, rolled up with the light veggie cream cheese. cup of mixed whole grain cereal (quinoa and a few others I can't pronounce!) with 2% milk. I had to dump out my almond milk. It was spoiled. I need to drink more of it. Blueberries on top of the cereal.
L: 2 left over boneless chicken thighs from last night (reallysmall), half a sweet potato, an apple
S: slice of cheese, glass of rosé when I got home. I had to wait awhile to make dinner, there were tornado warnings, so went down to the family room/lower level of the house. No damage here, but lots of stuff uprooted on the other side of town. Glad I didn't commute .
D: one spicy tuna burger patty, salad, sliced pineapple
