That sounds amazing. Do you have a recipe for the dressing?

28-mile ride on the CX bike. A Clif bar

Today:

B: ground beef/veggie frittata, black coffee with a bit of 100% cacoa (no sugar)
1 hour group training session, followed by a protein shake
L: roast chicken, salad

I went out for fresh air after lunch and wound up getting 1 small scoop of coconut almond fudge ice cream. My first real cheat in months and I enjoyed it! The interesting part was getting the woman at the store to actually give me ONE scoop, and a small one at that. She seemed to have a problem selling a "child's portion" to an adult, and then she complained about having to charge me less. Very odd - but the ice cream was VERY good.

D: more roast chicken, cabbage/parsley/raisin salad (sounds odd but it was good). I need to go shopping...

[Crankin]

B:2 scrambled eggs with kale, 2 slices Ezekial raisin toast, strawberries and orange slices, coffee
35.6 mile hilly and fast ride. I drank 1.5 bottles of water and ate a Luna Bar
L: 3 left over turkey meatballs and spicy tomato sauce, mashed cauliflower, an apple
D: home made butternut squash soup, salad with avocado, tomatoes, green onion, vinaigrette, small slice of sourdough bread, 2 squares dark chocolate
This is the most carbs I've had in about 2 months. I really felt like i needed it.

[spokewench]

B: 1 waffle with strawberries and syrup, coffee
L: turkey, avocado sammy with lots of other veges, some strawberries and about 1/2 and apple at a working lunch
handful of cheezits
D: 1 piece meatloaf, roasted potatoes, zucchini, 2 glasses chardonnay

[Crankin]

B: egg whites, corn tortilla, 2 slices chicken breast, salsa scrambled with avocado, an orange, coffee
L: 6 oz. tuna in oil with red pepper slices and goat cheese, an apple, nuts and cranberries
S: Luna Bar
D: one slice left over turkey-veggie meatloaf, which did not freeze/defrost too well. 1/4 of a huge sweet potato, blueberries, 2 squares dark chocolate

[Crankin]

B: 2 scrambled eggs, cheddar sprinkles, 2 slices uncured bacon, blueberries, coffee
L: went out with DH, had a cup of chicken veggie soup and a Mediterranean wrap on whole wheat
S: an orange
D: salad with tuna, grape tomatoes, home made hummus

[Catrin]

Today:

B: scrambled eggs with veggies, last small sweet potato "muffin", black coffee
L: chicken feta sausage with a salad of mixed greens, egg, cucumber, brocolli, etc, a bit of dressing made from home-made mayo
S: protein shake (basically taking the opportunity to try out a new sample)
D: Got brave and made a large lox/avocado/jicama nori roll - I've never done this before so it was interesting. I don't have a sushi-roll-thingie, but I did manage to roll it together. Wasn't brave enough to cut it though, so I just treated it like a large round sandwich - basically. I tried out some wasabi powder and added some coconut aminos once I had made a nice paste out of it. Interesting experiment that tasted pretty good! I am sure a purest would have shuddered A couple squares of 88% dark chocolate for dessert.

At some point tomorrow I am going to cook this: using a pork loin end roast.

[Crankin]

B: one waffle with walnuts and dried cranberries, blueberries and strawberries, 2 slices of uncured bacon, coffee
L: taco salad with no shell, with flat iron steak
S: slice of Machengo, corn tortilla
D: 2 chicken thighs, grilled with olive oil and garlic, sweet potato, roasted broccoli, one glass of white wine

[Catrin]

B: 2 small slices fresh side and eggs scrambled with greens and mushrooms. Black coffee

45 minutes corrective exercises + stretching - then 90 minutes of THE hardest workout of my life - a lot of fun but very, very hard!
Post-workout Tera's whey protein shake with a small banana blended into it (it has next to no carbs). BTW, if you are looking for a really good whey protein without anything else this is a good choice and it tastes very good - the whey is rGBH free and they also have a certified organic line. I really like the Fair Trade Dark Chocolate...but I've yet to taste anything from them that wasn't good - no chemical aftertaste or that aftertaste that comes with vegan protein concoctions.

L: 1 chicken-feta-spinach sausage and onions along with a nice salad with lots of veggies + some lox mixed in. Hazelnut oil for dressing and a tangerine for dessert

S: 2 squares Endangered Species 88% dark chocolate

D: (STARVING) pulled pork (loin end roast from this recipe) and part of a baked butternut squash. One incredible New Holland Dragon's Milk Ale - very good, dark, and I am on the tipsy side after one! I've probably eaten enough today, if I get hungry again will have some fresh pineapple

[Crankin]

I won't say everything I ate today. I did go on a very hard 22.5 mile hilly ride, during which I ate a Luna Bar.
We went out to a sushi restaurant to help Oakleaf carbo-load for the marathon. Of course, I did not need to carbo load, but I ate a huge amount of sushi and white rice, for the first time in about a year and a half.
I also have a cold and it's making me crave food I never eat.

Catrin,

Did you like the pulled pork that you made? I looked at that recipe and was intrigued. Does it have much flavor?

It is very good, moist and flavorful! The spice combination is really a good one, though I might toss in a bit more garlic and chili powder next time - but I happen to like those things quite a lot. The sauce is very nice as well, and I reserved some of it for other things rather than keeping all of it in the pulled pork when I refrigerated it. This seems a good recipe for a loin end roast.
