What did you eat today?

[spokewench]

I'm challenging others to post when they are not so good! Like, my saturday with the big greasy breakfast and the hamburger/with shake.

We are all human and get off track sometimes, but we try!

Red, the lumpy feeling came before my flight. Although I was active over the winter, I think not belonging to a gym is catching up to me. I still exercise 5 days a week, at least, but somehow my some of my trainer workouts get skimped on, as opposed to spin class and I've neglected my core.
Spoke, honestly I feel my eating is "good" almost all the time. I don't consider it "bad," if I have dessert once a week, or drink a glass of wine a few times a week. But, it seems like I can hardly do those things anymore without gaining inches or pounds. I go out to eat a lot, try to get healthy stuff (no fried food at all), but going out, even a couple of times a week puts temptations in front of me, like white flour products (i.e. really good bread), pasta, etc. I can avoid that at home by planning my meals to be low GI. I know I still look thin, but it is getting harder and harder to keep my weight where I want it.
I just need to get back on my bike and do some rides that are at least an hour...

S: handful of nuts
L:Other half of whole wheat bagel with low fat cheese, cup of butternut/mango? soup, an orange

D: chickpeas with spinach curry/tomato sauce, half a piece of whole wheat Naan, 2 squares chocolate

I can't remember yesterday, but I seem to remember ice cream, pecans and chocolate chips, so I know there was dessert! I was so tired and hungry after my hard evening commute, I just inhaled a bunch of stuff and called it good.

today (so far):
oatmeal with strawberries and nuts
toasted roll with melted cheddar cheese
chili with lots of veggies
a banana and some dried kiwis
scrambled eggs, oven fries and 2 slices of bread
an orange

I'm not done. I'm thinking a bowl of cereal might be the ticket. Kind of like dessert, but more filling. Yup, it's calling my name.

Welcome! I'm intrigued by the popcorn with hot sauce. I can't wait to try it.

Thanks!

I like it best with Frank's Hot Sauce - either regular or chili/lime... it's my weird snack that I can't stop eating!

I love Frank's! Never occurred to me to put it on popcorn. I'm going to try it on Sunday for tv night.

Thanks for taking up the challenge! When you are traveling it is so hard to keep on track; and so easy with all the choices to go off track! That's usually what happens to me. I hope you enjoyed all that you had, it sounds absolutely wonderful!
