What did you eat today?

[GLC1968]

You know, I started to stress out about keying in all my food into my app when I realized that I don't NEED to do it every day. I do it to keep tabs on myself and out of curiosity, but it's not an integral part of my plan so to stress about it is really, really stupid. Duh.

Today -

B: scrambled eggs, slice of cinnamon pecan coffee cake, coffee w halfnhalf
S: fresh mango and strawberries (and more coffee)
L: tuna salad made with tuna, celery, onion and home-made mayo. Cukes and a couple of slices of uncured summer sausage.
S: homemade quac with carrots and cukes
D: chili w salad

Oh and last night we didn't eat the chili - we actually finally had the pumpkin beef thing!

Better today - but not enough calories...sigh:

B: 1 whole egg + 1 egg white, steel cut oats with blueberries and PB, skim milk, coffee
S: banana, mozz stick
L: lettuce salad with homemade dressing (olive oil, unfiltered apple cider vinegar, a bit of honey and pepper), roasted skinless chicken breast, raw celery and raw carrots

S: Power Bar

80 minute ride followed by a banana and 5 almonds

D: sauteed watercress, shallots, bok choy and 1 italian chicken sausage. 1 slice sprouted wheat bread, skim milk

Yesterday:
English muffin with peanut butter and jelly
Wasabi peas
Last piece of flank steak, with rosemary, salt and pepper, cooked with a bit of olive oil in the pan; brown rice cooked in chicken broth with a bit of herbes de Provence and butter, sugar snap peas with a little butter and mint.

Today:
B: Greek yogurt "parfait"--3 large strawberries with some chopped mint, full-fat Greek yogurt (the honey-flavored kind), and granola; tea with sugar and half-and-half
L: Chicken sausage, more peas (I made a double batch last night!), Doritos, an apple and that dratted Coconut Lifewater. I think they put crack in it. That's the only thing that makes sense.
S: Half a Clif bar, half-glass of lemonade
14.8-mile ride
2 shot blocks, the other half of the Clif bar
D: Burrito! (3.5 strips of flank steak, peppers and onions, rice, 2 spoons of guac, a handful of spring mix
S: small green tea frappucino and a biscotti.

I need to figure out what I'm making for lunch and dinner for the next few days...

Yesterday:
B: 4 eggs with parmesan, grapes
L: salad with grilled chicken, sauteed carrots
AS: green apple
D: 12 oz grass fed sirloin steak (oh heaven-- so glad I got my tiny Weber grill), asparagus sauteed in coconut oil, carrot/red cabbage salad

[Crankin]

B: egg white omelette and red pepper, cheddar cheese, small bowl of Greek non fat yogurt and blueberries
L: 2 veggie burger patties, cole slaw, an apple
S: nuts and cranberries
D: I went to a charity dinner where I didn't really eat badly, but my stomach doesn't feel so well today; one rice ball app, 2.5 glasses of red wine, small piece of steak with mushrooms, carrots, and about 1/4 of a lemon merengue thing.
Must have been the wine and lack of sleep...

Weird Day: Did not have much to eat early at all!
B: 1 piece wg toast with peanut butter (late for work running out the door)
1 banana
L: two handfuls of goldfish crackers (played tennis at lunch time no time for eating)
D: 2 pieces pizza (homemade), salad with vinaigrette, 1 glass red wine

[Crankin]

B: turkey breast over sliced tomatoes, with melted cheese and Irish oatmeal with blueberries
L: chicken salad with cranberries and walnuts. I felt kind of sick this morning, so I only ate the chicken salad part of the salad and not much of the green stuff. I felt better afterwards, though, and ate an apple.
S: nuts and cranberries, piece of Machengo cheese and 2 pita rounds
D: 2 thin pork chops with peach salsa and refried vegetarian beans, 2 pieces of dark chocolate

[Owlie]

B: Frappucino, half a bun
L: Tuna and crackers, broccoli and ranch dressing
S: The other half of the bun
S2: Cookie
D: Burrito--same as yesterday, but with more guac (had to use up the tub). Last of the meat, but I still have everything else.
S: Strawberries (x4), pineapple chunks with mint

Yesterday - closer with the calorie goal but still not quite there:

B: 1 whole egg + 1 egg white, bran cereal with blueberries and almonds, skim milk, coffee

S: mozz. cheese stick with small apple

L: chicken Italian sausage with sauteed watercress and bok choy

S: banana with a bit of pb

pre-workout: Powerbar

90 minutes workout

D: Went wild and sauteed kale, mushrooms, onion, and sweet red pepper in olive oil, also tossed in a roasted skinless chicken breast. Brown rice, skim milk

S: a bit of PB with 2 squares dark chocolate

Calorie goal of 2k - came in close at ~1860 AND I succeeded in keeping the recommended nutritional split. Makes it so much easier not having to worry about net calories - but because of that I need to get better at making that 2k goal on exercise days

I have not had a chance to post for a little less then a week because I was on vacation. (I have not had more then 3 days off in a row in over 6 years..) I visited some family in Florida so I had plenty of baked fish...not fried..although I really wanted to have some fried fish. I only went on 2 runs ( don't know how you guys handle all of that humidity) and went swimming a lot. I will come back later on to post my meals for today. Hope everyone is doing well.

B: wg toast with peanut butter, coffee

L: 2 fried chicken strips, coleslaw
D: 1 chicken thigh, piece of wg bread, 1 beer

B: Quest protein bar with coffee - I had plans for a smoothie but when the little tab on the lip of my magic bullet cup was missing when I went to blend it, I lost it. I had another 'I'm-sick-of-hobbling-around-and-not-having-both-my-hands available' melt-down and threw my un-blended smoothie (cup and all) in the sink in disgust. I scared the dogs, too. I grabbed the bar and left the house, pissed off. What a lovely way to start the day, no?

S: cinnamon pecan coffee cake (luckily, this is now gone!)
L: Chicken tortilla soup (sans tortilla) topped with 1/4 oz raw cheddar, chopped cilantro and half an avocado, diced.
S: apple, fresh strawberries and 1 small slices of uncured summer sausage
D: unknown - likely a salad from somewhere (eating out).

How is your support at home doing? Take care of yourself!

Actually, part of the reason I had to leave my unblended smoothie was because my husband had offered to drive me to work and I didn't want to make him late. So he's been REALLY good, actually. Better than I would have thought when this all started.
